Above is Tessa and her classmate Allison singing the 2nd Graders in for the big show. Tessa is quite the performer and loves nothing more than being up in front of people belting a song. More about that later.
Alana is in that herd of kindergartners. Oliver was in the performance too but not in this picture. I got video that I can't get to upload because it is too big. Sad. It sounds like a lot of kindergartners singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
And today at church our family (Ryan, Jeff, Leah, Tessa, Alana, and I - Arnon played for us) sang "Oh Hush Thee, My Baby" from the Children's Songbook in Sacrament Meeting. We had Tess sing the first verse as a solo and Ryan and Jeff sang alto for all the rest of the song and I sang the descant on the third verse. Well, I tried to sing the descant, I was all choked up because I was singing with my family, and Peter was waving to us from the front row. And Whitny came all the way from Chandler with her family to see us, and Samantha, Phil, Val and Zeke came, and Tessa did such a good job on the solo, I just couldn't make the right sounds with my voice so I mostly just stood there. But the kids and Ryan did great. It was a lovely program and I think everyone liked it. I'm sure blessed to have such a wonderful family. It was just what I needed to get really excited about Christmas, I'm ready now - Bring it on!
