Chloe's Caroling

Dude and I decided to give Chloe and Mylo one of their presents early--a Vtech Kidizoom digital camera. The quality is pretty crappy, but it has a bunch of fun features the kids love. I wanted to check it out too, so I turned the camera on Chloe and taped her singing some holiday tunes. Here's her medley:




And here's her improv:




I'm missing my family very much this Christmas season. I saw everyone yesterday over the webcam. My grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, niece and nephew, sister, and my parents all said hello. One by one they sat down at the computer and said they missed and loved me. Chloe charmed them with some songs and counting from 1-10 in Mandarin and Vietnamese. Mylo didn't really want to talk, as he's still recovering from pneumonia and understandably moody. But I was happy to see everyone, even though it made me feel a bit sad.

Later in the evening, we had dinner with my in-laws. I feel really lucky to have them, and Dude's sister and her family, around. At a time when I'm missing home, I also feel so blessed to have such wonderful in-laws. Being in Vancouver is not like being in Mifflintown during Christmas, but it's my home as well.

Merry Xmas from Mifflintown to Vancouver - I have to wait until I get to work to see Chloe's video, I can't wait. Hearing her sing "feliz navidad" over the phone made me want to be there :)
Love,
Vicki

Yay, I finally got to hear it at work, and my customers at the post office were entertained, too.
Poor little Mylo coughing in the background really added to the soundtrack, and lots of Brandy laughing and saying YAY!! I love the way you encourage your kiddins.
