To start: Cameron PSS: Kays class sang 2 songs "Happy Christmas" by John Lennon and "Do they know its Christmas" by BareNakedLadies.
Billys class did "Jingle Bells" with a little Gangam style action in the middle (he's flanked by his buddies Misha and William)
Then, at assembly, Kay won an award at school "Student of the Month" for Kindness and Caring. We are so proud of her we could burst. We also wish she'd bring some of that home....JPG)
Then, we all headed down to the Distillary District for a traditonal German Christmas street festival. It was REALLY cool but not an original idea and Tom/Tracy decided that next year it would be a date night venture. We saw Santa and Jimmy peppered him with questions on if he was "real" or not. Jimmy probably really believed in Santa until about 6 weeks ago but now, with his Grade 6 buddies, is too cool for all that. The hard part is, being as talkative and extroverted as he is, he's ramping up to ruin it for Kay and Billy. Kay has always had her suspicions (remember Christmas in India when she cried "But why is Santa Daddy!?!" and the boys looked at her like she had a 3rd eye.). Billy thinks Jimmy is crazy and this is one of those times I'm thankful he lives in his own little world.Then, it was the piano/drum recital with their music school. I love that 80% of the kids are Asian and so much talent! (the non-Asian kids are russian, greek and Indian - not a north american caucasian in sight except for Tom/Tracy - we LOVE how diverse Toronto is!!) The kids all did great and Jimmy rocked the house and was the only one on the docket 3 times (piano, drums and a band)
Kay played San Franciso Trolley
Jimmy played Joshua fought the Battle of Jericho on piano, an original drum solo and his band played "Girl, I really got you now" by the Kinks..
