A love/hate relationship

Alex and Ruby can be the best of friends. In a matter of minutes this can change until they are both yelling that they are never going to play with the other one AGAIN! When they are getting along there is nothing cuter.

This was true a couple weekends ago when our ward had its primary program. For those of you who are unfamiliar with our church, one Sunday a year the children (ages 3-11) give short messages and sing songs about what they have been learning during the year. The younger ones have parts that are short and sweet (Ruby:I am thankful for my family and friends) and as they get older so do their lines (Alex:In the Book of Mormon and the Bible, Jesus teaches the people and performs many miracles. Then he went on to tell his favorite miracle).

Alex and Ruby were asked if they would sing a song together. Although they can be outgoing, both of them are very reserved when it comes to performing in front of people. Ruby's primary teacher in Irvine can attest to this. Much to my surprise they both agreed to it and did a great job. The other fun thing was that all of the kids sung one of the songs in French.

Best friends...well, maybe
