For your listening enjoyment

A month or so ago I was wondering what kind of holiday traditions would be worthwhile to start for my family. I was seeking something that would be fun, memorable, and shareable with family and friends. How about recording an annual Christmas music mini-album!
Allow us to introduce for your holiday listening pleasure the completion of Volume 1 of the series:

You can download all the music and album art from here.
This first edition contains 4 songs -
1. What Child Is This?
Instrumental by Jefferson
2. Silent Night
Accompaniment by Vanessa (her piano debut!), vocals V+J
3. I Wonder As I Wander
Instrumental by Jefferson
4. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Accompaniment by Jefferson, vocals V+J

Despite our amateur skills (especially my voice), we had such a blast putting this together. I look forward to making more and listening to them all when I'm 80 years old. I also hope this encourages family/friends to share their talents.

Enjoy!

P.S. I dare you to find uglier holiday sweaters than what we are sporting on the album art :)

On a more serious note

I don't know if many people have had a chance to read this article from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints newsroom, but I found it encouraging. Happy Reading!

Who needs a heater...

when you could wear this?

Hot off the Press

Rather than bore you all with the beautiful spectrum of colors of tooth stain and their causes or the branches 10 of your maxillary artery, (which I could easily do-mwahahaha!) I will simply bore you with some pictures of what we were doing about 5 minutes ago:


Hope that satisfies your Criddle cravings for another week or so :)
