Yesterday was our Christmas musical at church. Our minister of music is fanatastic! He brings in professional musicians each year at Christmas. This year we had a brass ensemble and a floutist and a harpist. I have been in the choir for quite a few years, but after much prodding by several people, Eric joined in this year. It has been a hoot hearing him around the house singing Glory to God in his best tenor voice! We sang more traditional music this year, which meant it was harder than some of the contemporary stuff, but it turned out beautiful. At least I think it did. My right ear has been stopped up for a week, so I can't hear very well. :) Our wonderful children's minister has started a pre-school and elementary choir, so they got to join in on two songs. It occurred to me that while the children were singing, our entire family was up on stage - how fun! Here are the kids decked out in their Christmas best. Jodi - recognize Ella's dress?? 
Maddie has started taking piano this year. She takes from Jennifer Jones who is also our children's minister. Maddie had her first piano recital yesterday afternoon. I was so proud of her. She played Away in a Manger and Come and Play and did a great job! She really enjoys learning to play and Jennifer is an awesome teacher! Maybe she will stick with it longer than I did!

Aw-I do recognize that dress. I'm glad she's wearing it. I think Sophie only wore it like twice at best, so it's nice to see someone else enjoy it. Wish I could hear Eric. That actually sounds amusing. You know what's going to happen. Maddie and Sophie are going to be classically trained pianists and then join a rock band when they're in their twenties. Ha-Ha.
