Silver Legacy Performance

While Cai Lynn and Jared were with the rest of their choir practicing and preparing to go to the Silver Legacy after school, my mom dropped Michael off with me at work. We had a little Christmas party with the residents, families and Santa!

Michael is enjoying his egg nog. :-) Then I stop and pose with Santa before we rush over to the Silver Legacy to hear them sing.



By the time I got there they were up on the risers and had completed their sound checks. I caught both their attentions so they would know I was there. (I had promised that I'd be there, I just didn't know how close I'd be cutting it.)
LOL I didn't realize how angry Grace looks. (That's not her normal face... she ALWAYS has a smile! )

The view behind us...


During "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" they had snow falling from the ceiling



With their hot cup of Cocoa....

Honor Choir and 3rd Grade Program

Tonight was Jared and Cai Lynn's honor choir and Cai Lynn's third grade program. Program number 4 out of 8 this week! No joke!

The kids had a choice if they were 3rd graders to wear regular clothes or Honor Choir clothes. Cai Lynn obviously chose her Honor Choir clothes.

Waving to their families before the performance...


Hello to Jared!

Time for the third grade program....

Cai Lynn's turn





Great job guys!!!! Several more posts to follow this week! Stay tuned!

Ward Christmas Party

Saturday night after I got off work was our ward Christmas dinner. Our first Christmas in our new ward. (We went to our old ward's Christmas party last Saturday... :-) )

I had my nieces for the night, Sarah and Emily, so of course they came with us. They had a lot of fun.

I was up leading the sing-along and Michael took this one of Sarah. Not sure what was going on. :-)


Each table had the name of a song tucked into one of the centerpieces. They didn't know it until right before the sing-along. I called the name of the song and those tables had to come up and sing them. It was so much fun! Emily stayed with me and wanted the microphone. :-)


At the end of the sing-along, we sang "Here Comes Santa Clause" louder and louder until Santa showed up. I called them by age groups starting with the youngest.

I thought Emily would have liked Santa a lot more than she did... She was NERVOUS! She looks a little like she's about to cry.


Cai Lynn had no problem!


Sarah's turn!!!!!


Not sure what he even asked for... but it was a very meaningful conversation.


I think Michael was the MOST excited! LOL


See! Scene stealer! LOL


The girls wore matching dresses so a picture of course!
Emily had a mouth full of candy in the first one. :-)




Ho Ho Ho! (And that would be a candy cane in Blake's mouth.)



Merry Christmas!!!!!

Michael's Concert Choir Comes to My Work

As part of their service to the community, they went to three retirement homes on Saturday. One of them was of course the one I work at! Saturday is my day in activities so it was nice to have them come. The residents LOVED them and I was so proud. Of course most of the residents knew Michael and told me afterwards how wonderful HE was. LOL Like he was the only one singing. It was so cute!

Since we don't have a stage, we crammed them all in. :-) First the girls came in and sang a couple of songs, then the boys came in and joined them. (Some were even sitting on the floor.)


The boys' turn to join in.








It was so much fun to have Michael's concert choir come!
