Busy with Choir

We have been very busy wrapping up choir for this fall semester and Gracie and Cade ended with a spectacular performance right before Thanksgiving. They made these t-shirts using their handprints in the shape of a cross and they were so cute! They both love going to choir and this year I helped in Cade's class. He got a kick out of that and always wanted to be the line leader. I will have to admit having me in his class did work to his advantage in the 'line leader' department. Oh well.....life has its perks, right? Cade gets very into his music and aims to please. He is such a hoot. One day I'm sure these pictures and the videos will come back to haunt him.....but he will always be my sweet little man! And who will forget Gracie's shout out to her daddy. When asked who she was thankful for during the performance she said 'my daddy.' Sweet.....and she is a daddy's girl. And of course that worked to her advantage when we got home later that night too!

And unfortunately no pictures of Halle's performance b/c I forgot my camera.....oops. I'm hoping a friend passes them along this week. Stay tuned.

Halle finished up with choir this weekend where she sang at church both Saturday and Sunday night. They worked so hard and sounded spectacular. They've rehearsed all semester but then met last Wed at 7:00 for a run thru, then had to be at the church Sat. and Sun. at 5:00 to prepare for the 6:00 show. It is so much fun and special to hear their sweet voices singing.
Sometimes it is hard to get there on Sunday evenings but I love that the kids love to go and want to go. I think it is so important that they feel connected to their church at a young age and they definitely do!

Needless to say we have been busy people...so busy in fact I managed to forget our dear friend Burns' bday party this weekend...sorry Lucy and Burns. You know we love you! No mother of the year award this weekend! I need to recolor and and cross check my calendar again!

Have a great week! It is such a special time of the year and I am so thankful for wonderful family and friends.
