Christmas performances

Going to all the festivities this season was delightful...it spread it's Christmas cheer. It solidified that it indeed was Christmas!

Carter sang with all the fourth graders at a care center. I was able to follow the buses and be in the audience. They did an awesome job at singing out and projecting the words! The elderly sure appreciated it. Then they gave away their bulb plants that they had been growing for the last few weeks. He is here with his classmates McKenzie and Annie.

Caden had an afternoon school performance with all the second graders. I neglected to check his backpack so I missed the note with instructions to wear red, white, or green and to bring a Santa Hat. MAN....He still was a cutie and sang with passion. His class sang the Little Drummer Boy in French. Their teacher is French and was able to teach it to them. She was sad to miss the perfomance due to illness. It was so cool to hear the foreign words come out of Caden's mouth. He gave me my very own concert one evening before bed. What a sweet boy. I love his high singing voice!

Emery had her kindergarten performance and sang out real well! This time we didn't forget to wear red! Ms. Neslen won't be their teacher in the new year. We are very sad...she is so wonderful to her students. We met Mrs. Gilbertson after. She seems nice. We'll see...

Ella had fun tagging along and wanted to dress like her sister. It was fun to have 2 Mrs. Claus'!

Ella had her mini dance recital at her dance class. Miss Natalie is her teacher whom she just adores!

She was very shy at first but didn't take long to warm up!

This isn't the best picture but it's all we got...Carter sang in the school choir. They sang 4 numbers with talent show solos and groups inbetween. Carter attends choir with me every Friday after school since I am the pianist. Annette is the director and she does a great job with all those kids. It was fun to hear them sing out!
