Renaissance Feast

Eryn has always loved to sing. I love it! I remember hearing her as a two year old singing in her best opera voice. It always made us laugh. She has become quite the talented little singer, however, and has learned to harmonize. It's so fun sitting by her in church, singing the hymns. We take turns singing Soprano and Alto. I love hearing her pick out that alto part. But she is definitely the soprano of the family. She can hit some HIGH notes that I can't even come close to. She has been in choir this year at school, and has really enjoyed it. Her teacher is amazing, and has really taught them some great things. They put on a "Renaissance Feast" for their Christmas concert this year. We bought tickets, and got to go and eat while they performed. It brought back memories of doing something similar in Acapella Choir in high school. We put on a Madrigal Feast at Christmas time. I loved it! It was so fun. Eryn's choir even sang a few songs that we sang at ours! The older choir was the "nobility and royalty" and Eryn's choir was the "peasants" who served us the food. Eryn made sure we sat at the table she served. They sang while we ate, and there were some dances and other performances. It was fun and entertaining, and the food was delicious. And of course, I forgot to take the camera , so there is no video, and there are no pictures of the actual performance, so I made her stand and pose for a few when we got home. She did great and looked super cute.
