Claire the Brave

Rock Stars

My mom got the girls a princess microphone and amplifier. You can plug in your MP3 player into it and the music plays through the speaker. It is awesome!!! The girls love it. Here is a taste of what goes on in our house every day.

(warning:long videos)



Zacchaeus

Quinn was singing this on the way home from church tonight and I thought it was too cute not to record. I love the way she says sycamore. :)

You are my Sunshine!

Quinn's favorite song is You are my Sunshine or as she calls it Sunshine. I love to hear her sing it...precious!! Every night once she is in bed and before I kiss her goodnight I lay next to her and we sing this song. It is such a special time. I I asked her the other day if I could make a video of her singing and thankfully she obliged. I thought I would share. Claire of course wanted to be involved also so there is a video of both girls singing it as well.

I couldn't help but put his one of Claire getting to sing a solo of the song. She cracks me up!

Merry Christmas from the girls!

The girls have been singing Christmas songs since Thanksgiving so I thought it would be fitting to record them singing them. Claire is singing what she knows of the chorus to Jesus is Alive by Josh Wilson and Quinn is singing Jingle Bells. Merry Christmas to you from Claire and Quinn!

Aaron the Allergic Shepherd

Claire was in her very first musical at church this morning. For the last 6 or so weeks she has been going to "choir practice" ,as she called it, to learn her 3 songs that she and the rest of the 3 and 4 year olds would be singing. They were sheep! The cutest little sheep you have ever seen!! She has been singing the songs at home constantly (Claire sings Christmas). She is quite the performer at home and I was not quite sure if she would still be that way in front of all those people. She did great! The kids didn't practice with their sheep ears on or with a microphone in front of them during practice so it was cute to watch them play with them. At one point we thought Claire was going to grab the mic down, she reached for it. Claire took it upon herself to sing a one word solo. If you listen on the video (below) she sings the word round before everyone else. Love it!!! I am so proud and I know that it was just a short little musical at our church but I have loved singing my whole life and I love being on a stage so it made me very proud to see her up there. It made me happy to know that she enjoyed herself and had fun!

I tried to take pictures and have a video of one of their songs. They are all pretty blurry, we sat up higher and I had to zoom in a lot. You will at least get an idea.

You will have to turn the volume up. They are singing Silent Night acapella and it is not very loud.

Claire sings Christmas

Claire will be in the church's children's Christmas program this year. She will be singing 3 songs with the other little ones. She loves to sing and we sing these songs with her everyday. After supper she got out her stepping stool and gave a preview of the show. I hope she won't get nervous when she has to get up in front of everyone to sing. I know I will be. Thanks to Laura Williams and Jen Giles for teaching her the songs. Quinn is so cute in the background! Love my girls!
