Hotel view
Kind of festive and roomy...could see when the Erie crew arrived & even watch the Pittsburgh crew greet them in the glass elevator
Our own version of Elf
Concert Evening Busy-ness
It was a busy one this year between Jesse's piano lesson, Cantata orchestra practice for Eric, and hoagie deliveries.You never know how it's going to turn out though as it ended with a funny surprise. A former co-worker of mine was sitting two rows behind us (we were planted in the front row) and never said anything during the concert. He came with his family to see his nephew who was in the same band as Jess. My family got to meet the infamous Luke which was a nice added bonus and ending to our evening.

Making a Joyful Noise
Appalachian Winter: this was the name of our Cantata this year. It was a beautiful mix of all kinds of music. It also turned out to be a family affair...hence we have no real pictures or video that captured this special event well. Eric was one of three trombones, Jon sang tenor, I played the piano as a feature (rather than accompaniment) and Jesse played a mean woodblock (which was technically plastic) & cymbals. We all practiced less than 4hrs total all together & this was worrisome to me. However, it REALLY came together nicely. Some of my former co-workers came as did some of my family. We are blessed with some amazingly talented musicians & boy did it show...the full, very solid choir sang to the fullest with beautiful harmonies that flowed & carried it all through. I felt privileged & very proud to be a part of this special performance this year. I have always enjoyed watching it, but this year a tear came to my eye, I was so moved in having a part in it...and also thankful I didn't mess it up;)
