'Twas the Concert Before Christmas

Last Friday was Nate's concert "'Twas the Concert Before Christmas." I had fun helping him get ready. I had the 5th grade girls over to help me make snowflakes, which we used to decorate the stage.
They are so fun and creative. I love spending time with them!

Here are our lovely creations! Now to hang them on the stage--we leave that up to Mr. Becker, who climbed the TALL ladder himself!

The night of the concert, my eyes were on this handsome man!

Here the 5th grade class performs in front of the curtain.

Behind the curtain the high school Jazz ensemble performs, along with Mr. Becker on trumpet (notice the snow!).

The middle school band sounded excellent! Notice the Sousaphone on the back right! Last week something was wrong and the student found an egg shaker stuck in there. I think Elijah must have thought it was a basketball hoop while he was in Papa's class! Woops!

I got to dress up and be the MC. That is always fun. I miss teaching in a classroom sometimes, so speaking is a fun way to be involved in what Nate is doing.

The festive Beckers! Time for a date!
Thank you, Lord, for all you have provided, and for my husband. Thank you for his gifts and talents and for using him here in music! Praise You, Lord!
