December Performances & a Birthday


The first week in December, Parker had his very first piano recital.  He did such a great job!  He performed "When I am Baptized" (the same song he performed at his baptism), and "Jingle Bells".  It was so fun to see him perform.  He has such an amazing ear for music.  He will come home and play by ear a song that he heard once at school or on the radio.  It just amazes me!  


The day before Bryce's birthday, we took him to Chuck E. Cheese's to celebrate.  

All ready with their tokens to go play! 

Bryce and Quinn had so much fun riding on all the little rides.
Quinn learned really fast that putting a token in the slot made the ride go!

After playing for awhile, we took a break to have some pizza!
Bryce has been eating really well and he loves pizza.



Josh borrowed a few tokens to play some basketball!  He's good! :)



On Bryce's actual birthday he woke up to open presents!  I don't know why I didn't get any pictures of his gifts after he opened them, but he got a really fun wii game with the Nickelodeon characters, some wooden Jake and the Neverland Pirates puzzles, and thats all I can remember at the moment! 


All dressed up on his birthday and ready for church.

 After church we had Bryce's birthday dinner.  Lots of Bryce's favorites,
fish, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and corn.  So happy to see Bryce 
eating so well.

This year Bryce had a Mickey Mouse cake.  He turned 7 years old.
(black frosting is NOT my favorite - so messy, yuck, but worth it to see Bryce's smile)



On day I found Captain America reading a book on our couch! :-)
 

Josh's choir (Spanish Fork Chorale) did a Christmas performance.  They did such a great job and sang some really fun songs this year!  Trying to keep Bryce and Quinn quiet through the performance was quite challenging, but luckily the other choir members just thought they were cute and didn't mind the extra noise.  It was funny because Bryce and Quinn both love one of Josh's choir songs from previous performances - the Halleluja Chorus and each of them started belting it out in the middle of the performance.  Haha!  For one of the songs, Josh performed in a quartet.  They did a great job singing "We Three Kings".
