The Christmas concert


Last Tuesday, we were able to attend the elementary school's Christmas concert. Both Josh's and Ethan's class sang 3 songs and they did wonderful. It sure is a treat to see my boys singing. Josh was singing "Santa Clause is coming to town" even before Thanksgiving. Grandpa made a comment about not singing Christmas songs until after Thanksgiving and Josh told us, "But my music teacher said that we had to practice." This is serious stuff. Both boys did great. And yes, that is Ethan's class size. I think they were missing two kids, but he has a small class. Very nice actually. That's one of the perks of a small town.


After the concert, Santa made a surprise visit! This was the first year that Abby went up to see him. In past years, she'd been too afraid. Boy was she excited. She asked for paints. Ethan asked for an electric guitar (oh dear) and when Josh was asked what he wanted, he replied that he just wanted everyone to have a Merry Christmas. Boy, Santa was taken by surprised and said that that was the nicest thing that he'd ever heard and gave Josh two candy canes. Josh sure has a sweet heart. Maybe I am teaching him some good things!

Oh that is very sweet of Josh to say, Good job mom!
I can't believe his class size, that would be awesome, so much one on one with the teacher if needed.

What sweet kids! Wow, I wish I had a class that size! How nice for the teacher! We can't wait to see you. In fact, I think you might be here already!

You have such cute kids. Good luck with the electric guitar thing. At least he didn't ask for a drum set!

Mary -- When I first saw the
"classes" I thought maybe that was the group of soloists and you didn't get everyone else in your picture. WOW! I can't even imagine! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope you are loving it out there!
