Sing, Play, Perform!!!! (Recitals, Concerts, Performances!)

This week has been one filled with lots of music. I love that my children all love music and are learning more every year. On Sunday we had the kids piano and voice recital. Then on Tuesday Heidi had her band concert and Meagan had her choir concert. They had both concerts on the same night so it was a very long night for us. But it was still good. The worst part was that Meagan had a cold and was barely able to sing. She kept coughing throughout the entire concert. To make sure she could sing she didn't talk at school the whole day. She also played "Silent Night" on the piano while the band played, and the choir and the congregation sang. Most of the time my kids really like performing for others so ask them to play or sing for you if you get the chance. Then on Saturday night, Eric and Emma had their TaVaci concert. This is a little singing and dance group that they love going to every Thursday. Eric always wakes up on Thursday and asks me if I know what day it is. I always respond with Thursday and he says "nope, it's Tavaci day." Emma sang, "Where are you Christmas" with a small group of girls and Eric had a speaking part. An older girl says she has heard that Eric is really smart and asks him if he wants to show the audience how smart he is. He nods his head yes and she asks, "Who says 'Fly the Friendly Skies'?" Eric responds with "United". Then she says, "Who says, 'Don't leave home without it?'" Eric says, "American Express" and then lastly she asks, "Who says 'Just Do It'?" and Eric's response is, "Mommy!!" It was very cute!! All my kids did a fantastic job this week on their performances!!!!
