this is jasmine (she wanted to pose next to the poster freddy surprised her with last week), all dolled up and hair curled pretty- before she left for the opera!
it was a field trip that her choir teacher put on, and all the kids got to go to the opera house in downtown dallas
(she's getting so refined:)
also...
she sang beautifully in her Christmas choir concert, with her lovely soprano voice, doing cute little actions with the songs...
and...
she got 4th place in the school spelling bee! (i forgot to take a picture)
she was one of two 6th graders that entered, the rest were all 7th and 8th graders- and they were hard words too! freddy and i helped her practice, and some of those words we didn't even know...all that greek/latin/asian/dutch, origin stuff.
the thing that impressed us the most, was her determination to win. for 3 weeks before the bee, she either stayed after school and practiced with the group, or went before school to practice...all on her own- we were so proud of her!
of course we had to take her out for ice cream to celebrate her hard work.
way to go jas! you're a good girl!
