This morning was Christmas Eve brunch with Grandma Rose. I love this tradition and look forward to it every year. This year I wanted to put together something special for grandma as a Christmas gift instead of my normal store bought gift.
Whenever we come over to grandma’s house she asks us girl’s to sing something or sit down and play the piano for her. We never have anything practiced or prepared so we try our best to plunk away at a song but this year I thought it would be a fun surprise if we put on a little concert for her. So I contacted all of my cousins and sisters to see if they were in, and then sent out sheet music for everyone to start practicing. We all got together last night to have a final run through and it sounded great. After practicing we even were able to sneak away for a late dinner together, which was a ton of fun. (Especially the guy who was licking the restaurant window right outside of our booth ;) Good times!
After breakfast was over and cleaned up we sat Grandma down for her big surprise. We all sang her a song called “Baby in a Manger”, we did parts and everything, it sounded really pretty and made grandma cry. Then a duet was preformed, a couple of piano solos, and finally my grandma’s favorite and most requested Christmas song “Star of the East”.
I video taped us singing but I’m not sure how many of them wanted to be made famous on my blog today so I’m just putting my grandma’s reaction to our songs, which is my favorite part anyway.
We love you Grandma!
