Silent Movie and Other Things

Awesome ornament or what?
An altar!
(picture doesn't do justice)

A dog with a bullet, haha.

A carved duck from Frodo's carving days.

 My nieces were selling these at a craft fair.


A 2 peas in a pod ornament from a friend.
One is truly blessed to have a peapod friend in life.

 Went for a walk with Kili who insisted on bringing a machete. I'm not sure I'm keen on going for walks with a 6 year old with a swinging machete.


 Our Nativity set has grown pretty large.

 Snow fort

 I highly recommend an afternoon at Duck Soup Cinema. A friend had told me about it so I went with another friend to enjoy the show.

 To begin they have entertainers in the hallways. This lady above made balloons while the man below did magic tricks.

we saw a couple of children with balloon guns and other things


 I never catch on to how these magic tricks work.


 The silent movie has a live organist! Normally the organ is the original organ of close to 100 years old but it is currently in a repair shop


 Before the movie a number of acts/entertainers were given the stage. Above was a senior in high school who has studied Indian dance. She did a fabulous job. Below was a set of 3 siblings (homeschooled!) who enjoy playing/singing/dancing to 1920/30's music. They were splendid!

 Then the O'Darby band played/sang some Irish/Scottish music. Another great routine.
 After intermission were 3 door prize drawings (every received a ticket on their way in for a chance to win). Great prizes including tickets to the opera, orchestra and more plus smaller enjoyable prizes.

I highly recommend attending this at least once, it was so fun... After all these acts was the actual silent movie on a very large screen with the live organist. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
