Friends and Fiesta

Addie was down to surprise her parents at Reece's home track meet this week, and the kids got to see her because the girls were singing the anthem at the meet!

On Thursday after rehearsal, the girls went to the Spanish Club fiesta in the park.  Señora Lovitt too photos of Annah and Ryan trying salsa dancing.

Haha!  Ethan and Elijah 

Love these lovely sisters!

Kyle and Cameron had voice lessons one right after another today!  Actually, we were running late getting Kyle's started after his piano lesson, and Cameron was early for his lesson, so we combined them and did a lesson together!  It worked out great, because they were both working on their vocal jazz audition piece.  Sylvia even stepped in at the end to add the alto part.  It was fun!

And these guys look like they could be brothers!

Guitar class and Dia de los muertos

I got to sit in on Caeden's whole guitar class this afternoon.  It was so nice!

VIDEO: They played Silent Night

VIDEO: and Carol of the Bells

Also this evening, our favorite play director and Spanish teacher held a great Dia de los Muertos celebration at school!

Some of the Spanish club members had made sugar cookies, and people attending the celebration could decorate them with special markers to look like sugar skulls.

All Spanish students had to make an altar celebrating the life of someone who made an impact on their life.  They were displayed on long tables around the gym.

Annah is in Spanish 3 this year, and she made an altar celebrating the life of her Great Grandma Crabill.  She wrote about her love for Jesus, reading, crocheting, and family.

I didn't get a picture of Sylvia and her altar about the cellist Jacqueline DuPres.

There was face painting!

Flor, the mother of 3 Ridgeview boys spoke in Spanish about how she celebrates the holiday and is passing along the tradition to her sons. She shared a presentation, including photos of her decorations, and foods.  It was really beautiful and interesting!
