Spreading Cheer


Bahm bitty bahm bitty bitty bitty bahm bitty bahm bitty bahm bitty bahm!

The sound of this Christmas season was of Emilie practicing her Select Choir pieces through out the house, with each one of us picking up the tunes, and eventually joining in. We were excited to finally hear her perform at her school during a family night performance. We agreed that her school choir definitely outperformed our family choir! She also preformed during several assemblies at her middle school. For Emilie, the highlight of the season was a trip into Boston to sing at the Massachusetts State House. She spent the day touring the historic building, singing in the rotunda for state officials and then eating lunch at Quincy Market.
Emilie has loved singing with her friends (despite the weekly 6:30 am practices), and we look forward to more performances throughout the year, both spontaneously in our home with all of Emilie's siblings joining in, and with Emilie's more polished choir friends.

Maybe Emilie can sing a few of her favorite songs for us in May????? Love that girl, I can't believe she's getting so old.

We would also love to have a talent show - what wonderful and talented grandchildren we have! Love you. Grandma and Grandpa

What a neat experience for Emilie! Singing around the house is awesome too. Is she really the only blonde in the choir? She really stands out. Oh, so fun to see her growing up :)

What a great opportunity for Emilie! And how pretty she looks in that white blouse, with her pretty golden hair.
