Well, the lights are still not on. You know who I sound like? I sound like the father-in-law from Christmas Vacation. After Clark Griswold finally gets all the lights to come on and the whole family is outside looking at them, Clark is crying and going around giving Christmas greetings to everyone, and the father-in-law says, "The little lights are not twinkling, Clark." What a Debbie Downer. He's my least favorite character in that movie.
Anyway, all I can say today about the lights is: Oh well. No time to deal with them today.
Today I'm leaving to meet Robert in Houston for the weekend, just a needed chance to get away and do a little Christmas shopping. Every time I've talked to him in the past 2 days, he's in Austin for work, he's moved the time up. Geez, just give me a time and stick to it, OK? How am I supposed to plan and get everything done when you keep changing the time? I love that man...and it's a good thing I love him...
In other news, Riley's Christmas choir concert was excellent last night. Their choir is just huge, over 100 kids when all the different groups get together and they have a great sound. The concert was at a church, so the acoustics were wonderful. They sang some cute Christmas songs and some more classical Christmas songs and even a small ensemble did their Area try-out music. Wow, it was gorgeous. Check out some pictures:
The top picture is of Riley and his choir teacher, Mrs. Stanton. She's great, she makes choir fun and the kids really love her.
Riley is in the mixed choir, meaning guys and girls, and this is a picture from their part. It's kinda hard to see him, he's tall, so he's in the back.
This was the last piece, with all the choirs together. Again, I promise he's back there.
And, these are he and some of his friends practicing being teenagers after the concert.
They wear the teenager thing pretty well.
