Thanksgiving is over when Santa Claus and his reindeer arrive at our home.
On our last day with Candice, Marina, and Stella we put good old Saint Nick up in our front yard.
Candice is in training for the Hurt 100 mile race that takes place in the mountains above Honolulu, Hawaii. This meant that some days that they were here, she ran for hours AND lots of miles in our beautiful, sunny desert wilderness areas. This was a special treat for her, as she loves the mountains and deserts in Arizona.
It also meant that the rest of us had time to prepare a surprise for her. We decided to do a musical performance for her. It was a blast, both practicing and performing. And the hardest part was that we had so much fun, we were laughing most of the time….and it’s awfully hard to sing and laugh at the same time!
Grandpa played the piano while Marina, Stella, and Grandma sang All I Have to do is Dream.
We also performed Saginaw Michigan. Grandpa played the piano and sang the song. The “girls” just had a bit part singing only the words, “Saginaw Michigan”. But spontaneously Marina, Stella, and Grandma decided to act out the words of the song. Grandpa had no idea what his singing trio was doing…he just kept playing and singing merrily along, oblivious to the girls' shenanigans. This made our final “production” even more enjoyable and hilarious and totally chaotic.
Our video. It's a "must watch."
All too soon it was time to say goodbye to our dear girls…..so hard, but that is only because we all love each other so much.
