symphony

last sunday...i took the girls, with my parents to see the holiday family concert at the symphony.
it was spectacular.
we sat very, very close to the front...
the girls loved it.
anne was very serious through the whole performance.  kate on the other hand BELTED, and i mean BELTED every song that she knew.
it was so fun. 
we can't wait to go again next year.
we even uttered the words 'maybe make this a tradition...' which is not like us....ha. :)
