Christmas Choir Show


Boo with her bell

Warming up (this was pre Mr. Josh so you can see she isn't doing it:)!
Mackenzie is continuing to love going to choir. She loves going, and loves practicing, but is still a bit shy "performing." Well, this is until this past weekend's Christmas show. During practice, she stood beside her friends and was kind of just taking everything in. She wasn't singing, she wasn't ringing her bell, UNTIL Mr. Josh came. Mr. Josh was her choir teacher last year, and she really took to him. Unfortunately he now teaches the older children, so she doesn't get to see him much. Well, tonight, he helped their choir group warm up by playing the piano for them, and in case you can't tell, he is sitting at the piano which is right in front of Mackenzie. Let me just tell you, that as soon as Mackenzie saw Mr. Josh, it was like a light bulb went off...she just starting belting out the songs, playing her bell when she was supposed to, and acted out the songs when she was supposed to! The smile she had on her face when Mr. Josh noticed her doing all this was PRICELESS!!! Luckily, during the actual show, Mr. Josh played the piano again, so Mackenzie performed her stuff. It was the best Christmas present ever to see her do all her songs, but more importantly it was to see that she was proud of herself:) Go Boo!!!
