Blythe's Christmas Concert

What's more Christmasy than Christmas music?  Not much.  Today was the Rock Canyon Christmas Concert, and we looked foward to attending.  Blythe has been singing the fifth grade songs for several weeks now, listening on Youtube to make sure she knows all the words, and demanding we not put up the mistletoe because, "Yuck!" (a lyric from one of her songs).  Fortunately, morning kindergarten--Brick's class--was singing at the same time as the upper grades, so I only had to attend one concert to see and hear both Blythe and Brick. 

The concert was great.  I love the kindergarteners.  They are so little, and seem a bit nervous, but are soooooo cute!!  They sang their old stand-by "Elmer Elf," complete with elf hats and bell shaking, and this year added "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," complete with red noses.  Brick did a great job, knew the words, and was the cutest one in the bunch. 

The fifth graders sang two perennial favorites, "That's Christmas to Me," and "I Don't Want Any Part of Mistletoe."  They sang the first beautifully, did a great job of making the second very funny, and I thought they stole the show.  Blythe wasn't thrilled about performing in front of everyone.  In fact, as she was walking out the door to school, she said, "Here I go for another public humiliation."  She has such a dramatic streak.  She gets that from Kent.  I didn't think she humiliated herself and I am sad we only have one more year with a child singing in the elementary school Christmas concert.

 

 

 No! No! No! No! No! No! I don't want any part of mistletoe!

Well . . . . maybe.
