Christmas Choir Concert - Laura 2010

Laura is doing her school choir again this year. She adores it and is always practicing her songs to her ipod. It's adorable!

Her first concert this year was a Christmas Concert for the school (that I could not attend) and then a concert at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was chaos getting her home from school and up to SLC in time to perform. Thank heavens my parents came to help me out and drive me (the hormone crazy lady) up there and help me out with the little girls. I don't think I could've survived without them. THANKS Mom and Dad!!
It was a beautiful setting, but it was kinda hard to hear the kids over the great expanse. I was very impressed with the professionalism of such a young choir and how well they did despite everything that was working against them.
Sara was enthralled with the music and sat intently throughout the whole performance. She can't wait to be in choir when she gets to school. Eliza was a different story. I think she wore out all three of us adults trying to keep her from injuring herself as she ran around and explored the old Hotel Utah. Fortunately, she's adorable and none of us could do anything but grin at her antics.

We took a few moments to enjoy the beautiful tree and then we brought home the exhausted girls.

The next night was the parent's performance and so much more fun. The setting was relaxed, intimate and it was easy to see and hear the kids.

We could see the kids so well that Eliza kept escaping and attempting to reach Laura. I was really glad I had heard the performance before because I spent much of the time in the back with Eliza trying to keep her away from her sister. (Thanks Jason for all the pictures of the night.)
After the performance, Laura requested that we all go out for treats. Laura loved performing and being a perfect center of attention. And, I think she loved being with her grandparents and the root beer float as well.
This little girl makes me proud every time I encounter her. I love you, Laura! Your voice is beautiful; you sang perfectly; and you behaved like a lady! (And, I forgive you for dancing on my plants.)
