Forgotten Carols

Thursday night we headed to Micheal McLeans, "Forgotten Carols", along with Melissa, Carolyn and Roxane. It seems like a big tradition among a lot of people, but one we have not yet done. This year we decided to go because Chris old mission companion, Jordan Bluth was one of the main singers. All I can say is WOW...what an amazing voice he had. At the end of the show Micheal McLean talked about having his own Christmas Carol that he would like to share and Jordan sang it....again his voice.....AMAZING! The song was about Christ and his ultimate sacrifice for us. It really reminded me what Christmas is all about and why we celebrate this holiday all together. It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of gifts and Santa, and lights, which I have to admit I love, but I think it is so easy for each of to loose sight of what this holiday is really about. You know the show can be a little cheesy, but all and all we enjoyed it and the reminder it gave us of what these holidays are really about. Chase also enjoyed it and was such a good boy for being up WAY past his bedtime. Chase has always loved music, like most kids this age, and just stared down at the stage. If people started laughing Chase would join in like he knew what was going on and always clap at the end of the song, he even helped Michael direct the choir.

Just a pic of Tom Proctor, Jordan Bluth, and Chris.....Old Mission Companions.

I always used to go to the Forgotten Carols, but haven't been for the last few years. (Josh told me once was enough for him.) So your post really made me miss going. The guest singers are always so amazing - that's fun that you guys knew him. And I'm impressed that Chase was so good. You guys have such a perfect child!

I hate to say it, but I have never attended this widely known "Christmas tradition" singing thing! I have heard much about it though! Maybe next year!! I can't believe Chase sat through it... are you sure he is 18 months old? What a stud!! Oh, and a big thanks for the meds the other night! You saved us! I promise I am going to bring it back!!
