I'm not sure who took these pictures- probably Annie, since she was home with Tim and Price during our rehearsals and part of our performance of Christmas in the Grove.
I am so grateful for Tim, who made it possible for me to sing in the choir this year. Since it's only once a year, I really have a hard time thinking I should miss it. So I didn't- I went to the first practice when Eliza was 2 1/2 weeks old. She pretty much screamed most of the time for the first few weeks. I know it wasn't easy for Tim. He knows how much singing means to me, and he is willing to sacrifice so I can do something I love. I am blessed to have him for my eternal best friend!
As a side note, Christmas in the Grove was wonderful. I think, for me, that the message of the songs is the most important thing. My favorite lyric this year was this one:
"Come lay your heavy load down at the Savior's feet.
Your shame will be removed; your joy will be complete.
Come crucify your pride and enter as a child;
for those who bow down low he'll lift up to his side."
It's not that I think my voice is so wonderful or even that the concert touches the congregation (although I'm sure it does)- as I sing the songs every year, the Spirit bears witness to me of the Savior. And I need that at Christmastime.
