Working on a video!!!

I am trying to figure out how to get the video I took of Jenna and Jan singing this saturday posted on my blog. It is almost frustrating. The biggest problem is that the computer sees it as one piece of video instead of little bits. I am not sure if it is going to work but I am not going to give up yet. I have asked Jill how she did it so hopefully she can tell me...she has the same camera so hopefully if she can do it I can too.
We had a nice weekend, busy but nice. Jenna and Jan were gone most of saturday afternoon for rehearsals. I picked up Jan's Mom we went to see the show and had dinner. It was the best concert Lea has given. Each year we go because of either Jan or Jenna has to sing, but this time it was really not much of a punishment. The entertainment was great. The food was good too. It was a Christmas dinner with music. I can hardly believe it but I ate deer.. poor Bambi.. It was not too spectacular though.. and to top it off it was a bit on the cold side. Ma was proud of me I tasted it and finished it... thank goodness for small portions. It ended up being a really late night for all of us. A good time was had by all.
Sunday the sun was out so we decided to go to the beach for a walk. The only way we could get Jenna to go was if her boyfriend Pim came along... His parents came along also. It was nice to be able to get to know his parents and to know where Jenna is spending most of her time lately. We had a long walk and Corona chased after the kids, up and down the dunes. She was beat by the time we got to the car. We had coffee and hot chocolate at the beach cafe before heading home. Then the weekend was over! It really flew by! It was lots of fun, I didn't get the Christmas tree put up though.
So yesterday (Monday) James helped me get all the boxes down from the attic and we put the tree up. Jenna and James tried to decorate the tree while Jan and I went to the Vet with Corona (for her shots), but the lights wouldn't work. They had them all on the tree and they wouldn't work. I couldn't believe it but 2 strands of lights and they were both dead. Poor kids. They had wanted to surprise us. So we used lights we normally put on the trees outside, but by then it was late and the decorations would have to wait. So that is what Jenna and I did today after school, hot cocoa, and christmas songs playing on the radio. After all that I still don't feel like in less than 2 weeks it is Christmas!!!! Did get my Christmas card finished today and off to the printers. Yes I am sure they will be late. .... but they are worth it!! (even if I say so myself!)

Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. It's been raining her for the last two weekends, but it's been kind of nice. Hunter was upset because his last couple of soccer games have been canceled due to the rain.

I can't believe Jenna has a boyfriend!!!!

Don't talk about the Christmas Cards, mine will probably be late as well.

Love,
Sarah and Hunter
