Ward Christmas Party Bethlethem

• mtseamonsfamHelena 3rd Ward Christmas Party! Yummy dinner. Musical numbers from all auxiliaries. Justice sang "Do you want to build a ⛄️ ?" with the YM. Liberty sang a song with the YW. Victoria played "The First Noel" on her violin. They also had a 'Build a snowman' table set up for the kids. Fun times!

• demerryMy girls said Victoria did a beautiful job on her violin! Sorry we missed it all 😞

Here's a clip of Victoria playing. She was super nervous and actually skipped her turn 3 times before she gained enough composer to perform. The whole room went quiet when she started playing. It was really beautiful and then the audience roared with applause after. Way proud of her!

mtseamonsfamTo end the evening – the primary participated in a live nativity. Cooper Lynch read some scripture and the kids sang some songs. Then we had a special visit from the wisemen that brought gifts to share. What a fun way to end the night!

mtseamonsfamCute Victoria came home from our Ward Party & set up her own Nativity in her room. So cute!!! Come, Let us adore Him!

Orchestra Snack

In order for Victoria's friends to sign up for Orchestra again this year, we worked out a plan to help each other out. We each take a week and pick up the girls after school, feed them a snack and get them back before Orchestra starts. Because we live so close, we can just grab them and bring them home with us. Man! I love these girls!

One day they even got to "eat up" some baby! They loved it!!!

Victoria Orchestra Concert

Back in October of last year- Victoria had the opportunity to sign up for a Beginning Orchestra class offered after school by Siggy's Little Music Shop. She got to try out the different instruments with Mr. Sigafoos. She decided on the Violin. She's worked hard this year (not as hard as she could though- we really have to work on a practicing schedule in our family. We stink at that! ;)

Tonight, they had their 1st Annual Orchestra Concert. What a fun night!

Victoria has some of her best friends (Sofie & Clara) in Orchestra with her. Plus our cute little neighbor Maia. {P.S. I dropped off some church shoes to Victoria but she decided to stay in her gym shoes. Silly girl!}

Here's a little sample:
