Kasi's Christmas Concert

Last night, Kasi had her concert at school. They sang a variety of songs, and I found it interesting that here in the south, the schools are allowed to sing religious songs. I know growing up in New York, we weren't allowed to sing songs like that, but there were so many more religions up there. I am not saying that there are no Jewish or Catholic people in the south, but my kids have no idea what Hanukkah is, or that some people cross themselves when they pray. I know these things because in NY, my religion (baptist) was the minority.

Anyway, the concert was great, and Kasi did wonderful, as usual. She came home today and told me that when one of the girls in the chorus got home last night, her house was on fire. The house was a total loss, including all their Christmas gifts. They are taking up a collection at the school, but Junior doesn't get paid before Friday, so I won't be able to donate, which makes me sad. I wish I had something to give.

On a happier note, this is a picture of Kasi and her best friend, Jessica. She came to Brandi's party on Sunday, and fell in the mud. Fell and covered herself from head to toe with mud. I had to give her something of Brandi's to wear. (yes, the girl is 12, and so tiny that even Brandi's clothes were a little big for her) I was so worried her parents were going to be upset that she was so dirty, but they just laughed, and said it's typical of her.

I guess their Jessica is like our Kasi. No wonder they are best friends.
