That Time of Year

Yesterday we got to enjoy the school Christmas concert in our usual tandem style. I go to see it with the little kids at 1pm show and Craig goes for the evening show at 6:30pm. We do this because families are only given two tickets and we usually have grandpas and grandmas who are anxious to come and watch. With the dump of snow we were getting it was a better idea that the senior members of our family stayed in doors. Unfortunately, with our two and a half foot zoom that our camera sports our little Emily is not so well represented. You will have to imagine that she performed with gusto and enthusiasm as did her brother on the violin, tenor and bass recorder.

A Little Lesson:
I always go to the concert with two hopes. One I will get a good seat to see my children's smiling faces. Two, there will be songs and stories about the real meaning of Christmas. I was delighted to hear THREE songs that shared the reason the world hangs the lights, decorates the trees, ties the bows and wraps the presents. Thank you Mrs. Brown and Mr. Turner for not caving to the political correct pressure of doing a 'winter holiday' song and dance!
