As usual, I'm a couple months behind in our family content. Before we spent Christmas in California, the girls had been working diligently for two months, learning their music and speaking parts for the Kid's Choir production of The Best Christmas Present Ever. Even Tessa had a solo during one of the songs (actually a trio). Piper auditioned and was awarded the part of Mia, which included many lines to memorize. McKinley was given a solo during the song Good News, Great Joy. But then at the last minute, a boy who had a prominent speaking part got sick before the show, and McKinley was asked to fill in. After listening to their choir cd at home (and in the car) day in and day out, she already had the part memorized! We were so proud of our girls, and watching them thrive on stage while singing and dancing was such a joy to witness.
We also continued our tradition of taking the girls to see our local production of the Nutcracker. It was so sweet to see our new neighbor's daughters on stage. Such a fun date with my daughters!
