The Hendricks Family Experience

We have a number of new videos up on our YouTube channel.  It’s been busy around here with Christmas concerts and the like.  We have Chris’ first high school concert, playing his bass in both in the jazz band and the concert band, and Sarah’s very first choral concert.  As you’ll see, they both did a great job!

Unfortunately we didn’t get a couple in, thanks to the local fear of winter weather.  Mason’s choral concert and all of the kids’ piano recitals were cancelled, but they will be on again in January.  This means we’ll have more to show everyone then!

In other news:

• Sarah auditioned for a part in her upcoming school play, ” The Princess and the Pea”.  She was chosen for the part of Princess Gillian.  She will be singing as well as acting, and is very excited.  She has rehearsals every week, and will until the performance in April.  
• Mason passed his Board of Review and earned his First Class in Scouts.  This new Scout troop has been great for the boys and they are learning a lot.  Chris has taken on a bunch of service projects, including gathering food for the Washingtonville Food Bank.
• Chris has also been working hard on bass.  He earned a spot in the All-County High School Orchestra.  We have been told that it is unusual for a 9th grader to get in, so we were delighted!
• Allie is our constant piano player.  She is always figuring out a new song by sight reading, or making up her own.  Not bad for a seven year old!  Both of the girls regularly play piano in Primary.  They also don’t have to be badgered to practice.  We like that.
• Kate is true to her nickname, “Busy Lizzie” (Elisabeth is her middle name).  There is no keeping up with her!  She has learned how to be a big helper from her brothers and sisters, and is eager to help with any project she can get in the middle of.  She is also very excited about snow and Christmas presents.
