The "Just For Fun" Concert

My two big girls attend weekly choir practice and once every few months they sing in a concert.  This choir class has been a wonderful experience for my oldest, Emma, as she seems to really enjoy singing. Through this class, Emma has learned new songs, has been taught how to follow directions, and has discovered that singing in a big group can be just as fun as singing solo.  Well, almost just as fun.  Her words, not mine!   Cubby just joined the group four weeks ago.  With the help of her big sis, she learned the songs and hand motions in record time.  

So this choir group held an absolutely fantastic Christmas choir concert.  It was so good, and so moving! All of these little voices with little sweet faces to match made the most beautiful, sweet sound.  The two ladies who teach the group are absolute saints, and amazing teachers as well.  

Anyway, a few nights ago, the girls sang in the "Just for Fun" concert with the choir.  They sang such ear candy as "Lollipop," "Ice Cream," "Catch A Falling Star," and "Ragtime."  This was Emma's second concert with the group, but Cubby's first.  Cubby was so excited to perform with her big sis!


My two sweethearts hammed it up before the show. 




No pre-show jitters here!  Once the sparkle vest showed up, a dazzling smile was the only fitting partner to match.




Let the show begin!




Pom-poms were used for.....





"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM! Ra-ra-rah!!!"





Ahh....the joy of singing about ice cream. I almost joined in!




"Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolly-lolly-lolly Lollipop!!"  Bu, bum, bum, bum. "Call my baby Lollipop, tell you why. Her kiss is sweeter than an apple pie....."




"Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away..."




I love their happy little faces in this picture.  Sure, they were happy and proud post-concert, but I have to admit, just before taking this photo, I told them we were going to The Big Swirl (our favorite frozen yogurt place)!




The fam-bamily, minus two little characters.  J.D. and Little G stayed home with our trusty sitter, so that we were able to fully enjoy the concert.  Pure joy!  What a great, fun night we had!  To enjoy some of the concert, listen and watch below!
