Choir

Abby sings with the Lehi Children's Choir. This year they did their normal holiday performance at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and the American Fork Tabernacle. But, they were also asked to perform on the Sunday before Christmas at the Tabernacle on Temple Square. It was such a neat place to watch them sing. The atmosphere was incredible. So many people were there and everyone seemed so happy (except Emma and Grayce at times). Anyway, they only performed 3 of their numbers that night, but one of them was the one Abby had a solo part in - and she did so good. It was one of those payday moments as a parent. We are so proud of her for so many reasons, not the least of which is her ability to sing. She has a beautiful voice and it is fun for her to be able to sing in the choir.
Abby, Bryant, and Tyler were asked to sing together, "Picture a Christmas" from the Primary Songbook for our ward's Christmas Sacrament Meeting on the Sunday before Christmas. They each had solo parts and did great. So many people commented on how touched they were by their song - even Tyler piped right up and sang his parts so sweetly. It was really neat. (can you tell we are proud of them :)

Wow! That is very cool...we are not a musical family...so I don't know that my kids have much chance...plus they all have stage fright! It's amazing that they could all sing together with solo parts~!
