December

We had a busy December, especially Spencer and James. They entered the art contest for the Hot Air Balloon Festival.

James took first place (and I'm sure he still would have even if he wasn't the only one in Kindergarten who entered) for his drawing "Cradle Board Under a Rainbow"

I thought Spencer's drawing was amazing, it has the four sacred mountains- with the names in Navajo I might add, and the rainbow from the Navajo nation flag with a hogan in the middle.  He did not place, I think the judges were crazy, but there were also more second grade entries than any other grade.

The boys sang in their school Christmas concert.  This is what i get for not posting until 2 months later, i cannot for the life of me remember what songs they sang, but I'm sure they were totally cute.

Spencer and James are in a singing and dancing group called "Hold that Note."  i have to drive them to Blanding (70 miles one way) every Monday for practice, but they really love it.
I don't know what James is doing here, but he sang a solo in "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause."

Spencer's solo was part of a song about Santa in Australia called "Six White Boomers"  He also got to fill in last minute in the "12 Days of Christmas" as 10 Lords a Leaping- and of course he loved leaping.

Both boys love the class.  James' talents lie mostly in dancing although he has great rhythm and pitch.  Spencer can remember every word and action from every song, and also sing them in time and on tune.  They both did a great job (and yes Spencer's shirt was tucked in before the concert started, although it's wouldn't really be Spencer if he didn't look a little disheveled.)
