"The Bear Snores On"

Bella's Christmas Program

Bella knew most of the words to most of the songs.
She seemed to enjoy singing the Christmas carols.


However, when she didn't know the words, she crossed her eyes and made a goofy face until they came to the part where she knew the words again and she jumped right back in. Grandpa Ken and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

Tired from too much partying

Oh, so you heard that one too?

I can start to blog again. I was having this trouble. It went something like this:

Kat: "Hey- I have to tell you the funniest thing that happened the other day. (insert funny story here)"

Other person: "Oh, yea! I read about that on the blog. That was really funny!"

Kat: "Oh. Right. Well, yesterday... (insert other funny story here)"

Other person: "I know! I was just telling this girl at work about that. We were looking at the blog together."

Kat: "Oh. Wow. That's really cool."

So, here's the problem. I'm high drama. I like to tell the story. I LOVE that people enjoy the blog. But I like to tell the story! I like to choose where I pause in the story and the way I change my voice to imitate each kid. I enjoy the delivery. I love that people read the blog, but I got sick of all my material being used up. So, since we were going in for Thanksgiving, I wanted to keep some of my good stuff to tell in town. Now we're back and I can post again. As you were.
