Eliza's Choir Performances

At the beginning of the year, Jack and Eliza joined the after-school choir at their new school led by Eliza's teacher.  Eliza really enjoyed it, but Jack soon decided it was not for him.  Eliza spent an extra hour at school just about every Friday, and we were all rewarded with a great concert right after Thanksgiving.

The choir was invited to sing at the local tree lighting ceremony, so the following week, we bundled up and watched an encore performance.  They did a great job once again, and we all enjoyed the beautiful lit tree and even a quick visit with Santa, who arrived on a fire engine after the tree was lit.

(...and this is the perfect segue to the beginning of Christmas festivities...)
