Before we went our separate ways for the evening, Owen came into my office to show me all the stripes on his belt. He had a lot of stripes earned through accomplishments in Tae Kwon Do and good schoolwork grades.
Papa Ford and I took Chloe to her Christmas performance at Discovery Point. She got to hand out cookies in a cookie exchange before they gave their little performance.
She sang the Twelve Days of Christmas with her after-school class.
And Jingle Bell Rock.
I loved how serious her face was while dancing and singing as she tried to keep up with the class and get the words right with the dance moves.
Then we went home and waited for the other half of the family.
Todd took Owen to karate for his first belt testing to move up to an orange belt. Grandma Suzanney and Grandma Eloise also went to cheer him on.
The class moved through different stances and moves as a group.
And Owen bowed at the end after he kicked a yellow board in half as a show of respect.
Once the belt test was over, we all met up for Mexican food. It was a fun night to celebrate Christmas, martial arts and family.
