Today Andrew had a Stripe/Belt test for Karate. He’s been in Karate for a few months now and he loves it. I may have to remind him to sit still and stand still in class every ride to karate but he is loving it and he’s been doing very well. He has many of the moves down and he has his blocks down, too. Sometimes he faces the wrong way but he’s getting there. He certainly has enthusiasm for the program. I like it very much, the Sensei and other instructors are excellent with the kids.
After Karate it was a trip to KC’s Burger Bar for dinner. We shared Fried Pickles and then he had a hot dog and I had a BLT. We had to hustle because it was Christmas Program night for Eva.
Eva’s class put on the story of the birth of Jesus. There was also a choir concert. Eva played the role of the Angel Gabriel and she did really well. I had a prime seat to capture her performance.
I’m so very proud of my two kids and what they have been doing lately. I can’t wait to see Andrew get his belt tomorrow!
Eva had her Christmas Choir Concert tonight. I picked Andrew up from school today and then we headed over to catch up with Allison and Eva. We had some time in between the concert and the end of school so we went over to Box Seats for dinner. The kids did a great job coloring while we waited for our meal. Eva is getting great at shading and blending colors. Andrew is also doing well with his coloring, too. We had a nice meal and then headed back over to my parent’s house to get ready for the concert.
We attended the concert with my parents and my Uncle Jim. Next year we will have to get there super early so that I can get a good seat to record the nativity play. Eva will be in 3rd grade and therefore part of the play. But, this year she was part of the Christmas Choir and she did very well. She’s been singing the songs all week long. The concert was a very nice one and we loved the song at the end.
