It is hard to believe she's 18! Brittany's friends gave her a surprise party the other day, and they gave her some very wonderful gifts. Brittany also got accepted to USU, and so we gave her some USU goodies for her birthday, even though her Christmas present is also part of her birthday! She got this pennant, some sweats and a t-shirt and sweatshire. Also a cup and a window sticker. So fun! Mark was so nice to go to the USU bookstore outlet in Salt Lake for this!
Brittany's choir does a Madrigal Feaste every year. The choir students dress up as peasants or beggars and serve us a feaste from the time period. The chamber choir does a play and they all sing Christmas songs. It's very nice! Kiersten had a great time throwing coins at the beggars on the floor, and they would scurry around picking them up. Tanner enjoyed pounding on the table instead of clapping his hands for applause. (They give you all the directions on how to act your part, too.)
