Merry Christmas . . .

. . . from Abbie & the MVHS Choirs!

I look forward to attending the Christmas Concert at the high school every year.  

And I am so glad Abbie joined up just as Kenzie graduated, 

so we'd have an excuse to keep going!


even if I do always have to watch it with Porter on my lap
(he's getting kinda big for that) 
cuz we are only allowed 4 tickets, 
and Grandpa & Grandma wouldn't miss it for the world!

We have the most wonderful, talented & inspiring Choir Director --

 and what he teaches the kids about performing music will benefit them forever. 

 Thank you, Mr. Elg!!

Abbie tried out for the Treble Choir & made it 

(by singing a solo, mind you - scary!)  

Here's a snippet from "White Christmas"
abbie = front row, 4th from right

And, Mr. Elg has established a tradition of performing the Hallelujah Chorus
with all choirs combined, as well as visiting alumni
at the end of the concert every year.

It rivals the Mo Tab, if you ask me
and that's saying something
Brings tears to my eyes every time

(Abbie's in the 2nd row & virtually impossible to see, 
but she was there, singing the soprano part, i know cuz I've heard her sing it at home!)

It was kinda too bad Kenzie was still up at BYU-I 

and didn't get to join in as an alumna :-(
