A New Music Video!

My sibs and I have had a home video tradition ever since we first had a camera. Christmas 1996 Jen came home with a camcorder and we started out making commercials (MY idea, thank you-- I had discovered the joy of commercial making with my friends) and then we progressed to soap operas. The music video tradition started in 2007. Here is this year's installment, in all its glory. It features every sib and spouse (except Jason), and even our honorary sister Komu (the Japanese foreign exchange student who lived with Kimi and my parents from 2005-2006 and came to VISIT this Christmas!!). It also features the VERY impressive scripting and directing talents of Annette and the the editing talents of her hub Cameron.

Brave Happy Girl!

Amanda's preschool class had their Christmas program the other night. I was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw her performing! She has always been so shy. Last year when she went to daycare she never said a word while she was there, and even at home she gets nervous about doing anything in front of the family. Her preschool teacher is amazing though, and she has so much fun there. It's really brought her out of her shell! Here are a couple little clips of her program.
