We had a great couple of days in Georgia with family (including some of Allyson's) celebrating Thanksgiving. Running in a Turkey Trot, enjoying good grub, catching up with many faces we haven't seen in quite a while, watching a flick with the fam (& Jenna) on Thanksgiving night, listening to Christmas music, having our last baby shower for Asher, sharing a morning with friends from Trevecca...and the list goes on and on of great times! One of the greatest times at the Arp (Mark's mom's side) Family Feast on Thanksgiving is the playing of Christmas music after the lunch. For those who will be attending the "Arp Family Feast" in the future, here are the rules.#1 If you have ever played an instrument, bring it and join the band! #2 If you can't play, be prepared to get a hymnal from Aunt Deborah and sing along. The sing-a-long (as always) was requested by Nanna and PawPaw, and we certainly did not want to disappoint them. Now...for those who enjoy good, quality music (just a little bit better than a 7th grade band concert), we have a treat for you. The following is what happens when you put together a band consisting of piano, drums, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, trumpet, 2 flutes, and a couple of kids helping play the piano/cymbals/spoons/tambourine whenever they felt like it.
This first video is the first attempt at starting the first song..."Go Tell it On the Mountain". An oldie but a goodie.
Once we got that past us, we ventured into the classic. Feel free to sing along (and smile)...
Believe it or not, we didn't even practice before this video was shot. We are compiling/editing all the video footage. The live DVD will be on sale before Christmas. :)
An early Merry Christmas to you! Mark and Allyson
Thats hilarious! Wish we could have been there!
