Olivia's 1st Grade Choir Concert

Today finally arrived for my sweet Olivia. She has been singing around the house, in the bathroom mirror, and in her bed before she goes to sleep for at least two weeks now. She couldn't wait for her very first Choir Concert.

So here she is on her BIG day!

Striking a pose and looking adorable as always.
The proud parents.
Am I the only one wondering when she got this big and where my little baby girl went?!?!?
Brotherly love.
We arrived early (I may or may not be an obnoxious mom who wants a good seat) and it must have felt like church two days in a row to Luke. But once he saw Olivia on stage it was well worth the wait! What could be better then a proud wave from this baby?
It was a wonderful performance. They sang 15 songs, and I could have watched her up there for 15 more. Although, I was holding the video camera, and I am not as confident that my arms would have lasted 15 more. She did fantastic. Afterward she asked me if I noticed someone and then described them. I had to be honest and say that I didn't notice a single other kid up there except my sweet little Ollie. She had my undivided attention. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I felt like if I did by the end of the performance she would be 12. That is how fast I feel like she is growing.
Then I asked for something small, something easy, something I knew would be perfect. A picture of Olivia with the boys, and this is the best I got. HA
Brian got flowers for Olivia on the way home from work. She loved them.
Olivia and her super sweet teacher Mrs. Cadman who will retire at the end of this year after 35 years of teaching. I think that is pretty awesome!
Great job Olivia! I love your guts!

Way to go Olivia! I hope that her love of singing continues, I have such fond memories from singing in choir as a kid. She has such pretty, long hair.
