Sing Along

Keeley's school has an annual sing along for all the families in December. They sent a list of songs home that we would be singing so we could start practicing. Keeley only wanted to sing "deck the halls" from that list. I was a little concerned she wouldn't know the words to whatever song her class actually had to sing. If it wasn't that one, I didn't think she would know it!

Fortunately, she started singing "Jingle Bells" two weeks ago all on her own. They have been practicing it at school so all the kids would know the words to that, their chosen song, on Saturday.

Last week, Keeley was so excited about the sing along. She would tell us that they had to sing "loud and pretty" because there were going to be "a lot of people there" and they would have "jingle bells". She maintained her enthusiasm until I actually put her in the pew with her class. She got a little shy and hung her head. She shook her jingle bell a little while on stage but she didn't look like she was singing.

After the "performance" she was SUPER excited again. I guess she enjoyed it more than it looked like she did!
