The Spirit of Christmas

December 9th, 2011

Em's behind the purple feather :)

Emmalee was in the Spirit of Christmas at her school this year.

(She is in Concert Choir)

We had never attended one of the school's Christmas programs... and I am not sure we will miss one again after this!

It was like unto a mini Tabernacle Choir concert!

The dance companies, the orchestra, the band, all the choirs and the drama department were invovled and all performed together! 

Emma flanked by her closest friends. 

One of our favorites was the 12 days of Christmas...  

It was charming! 

The talent found at the kids school is awe inspiring!

The program included more than 400 of the students!

What an undertaking!

FANTASTIC! 

My favorite, favorite part was the closing number.

Complete with a live nativity... which I can barely even mention without my eyes tearing up. 

Emma's glasses are reflecting ;)

 We were sad to end up right up front to sit, as Emma was on the other side of the stage, but the Spirit that we felt sitting right there in the thick of it... it was perfect!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!!! 

And let us never forget the reason for the season!
