Family Birthday Party

Yesterday we finally had the Family Birthday Party (it was supposed to be on February 25th but everyone was sick). We arrived at the banquet hall around 7:00. Everyone was dressed formally. I wore a no-sleeve short black dress. First we had inspiration. Then we had snacks. Then one representative from each home gave a short presentation or testimony. Then we had cake and ice cream. Then they put on music and everybody started dancing (well, not everybody). Just like last year, all the boys went and watched a movie with the little kids and all the girls danced together. There were two teams from our home in two different cars. I went with the second team, so we got home around 1:20. The second team went home earlier. I'll post the pictures as soon as I get them.

Winter Show

On January 29th we did a show at an old folks' home. We got there around 6:05 and went inside. We tried putting the CD in the tape recorder, but it didn't work. So we tried it in a few tape recorders at the place, but it didn't work. Then we realized that the songs weren't burned on the CD. So Auntie Phoebe went home to get MarieAnne's computer while we waited around. We played a game called "Go" with the old folks. For example, someone calls out "farm animals", and you have to act like one. Everyone else has to guess what kind of farm animal you are. We did farm animals and musical instruments. And we got peach juice and cranberry juice and chocolate-chip-cookies. Then while we were waiting we performed "The Incy-Bincy Spider", "Inright-Outright-Upright-Downright", "I'm a Little Teapot", "It's Bubbling", and some other songs for them with no music. Then Auntie Phoebe got back with the laptop so we did "The Gardener", "Where Would We Be Without Love", "Sing a Song of Joy", and "H-A-P-P-Y". The first picture is "The Gardener", the second picture is "Where Would We Be Without Love", and the third picture is "H-A-P-P-Y."
