News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
Holiday cheer is in full swing on Sharar Circle. Trees are up, treats are made and Christmas specials have been viewed. The “Holiday” playlist on the iPod runs on shuffle-repeat all day long – with almost 700 songs it takes a while to hear any repeated though I must say that tracks from The Bob Dylan Christmas album make far more appearances that may be expected by chance. Enjoy the pictures…
Last week was the grade 2 musical performance – a collection of tunes from Suessical. You can’t go wrong with a bank of 2nd graders earnestly trying their best. Too much cute.
The holiday season is in full swing here. A singing group that Crystal works with recently put on an Elizabethan evening dinner/concert. It was a festive holiday feast complete with a king, queen and royal court–a fabulous show and when Kai and Nora heard that costumes were involved they were keen to get dressed up as well. Nora’s default of dressing as a princess seemed to work well enough and for Kai it was either a Jedi Knight, an alien or a pirate. The pirate seemed most appropriate. I thought that we could get him to pass for a monk with the help of his Jedi robe but he didn’t have much interest. Monks don’t pack cold, hard steel — pirates do!
We didn’t come away with many videos of high quality but I have stitched together a few that turned out. In the first few we got caught up in their street dance parade where they circled the floats in the area in front of Cinderella’s castle and then invited all of the kids to join in and dance with the performers. Kai loved it – they dance as a warm-up in PE so he had a bunch of moves ready. The second part of the clip shows Kai teaching Nora how to swashbuckle after they picked up some gear from Pirates of the Caribbean. I love how Nora puts her hand on her hip.
