Little ones preparing

Last night, there was an invasion.  This time the adults took a back seat and let their little ones take over the spotlight ... well, not all the adults.

Actually, we're planning something a bit different for this year's Christmas Eve Mass with children and families.  We've invited not only the children to sing in the choir, but their parents as well.  We've also invited some newcomers to join them, and have introduced a few multi-lingual parts to some of the hymns that will be sung.

Last night, everyone was here to do a dress rehearsal of sorts.  The guitarist (who is a high-school student) and the violinists (who are both elementary school students) added their strains to those of the two dozen or so who will make up the choir, and the little ones tried on their angel costumes (all things must be just so, no?).  Little details about the music had to be sorted out so that all will run as smoothly as possible when the big night arrives.

Now that this revision is complete, we're all ready to go ...
