Erics performance

December 3rd, Eric performed at the Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa as a member of the Orange County Mormon Childrens Choir. There was an orchestra, a huge adult choir, childrens choir, Bell musicians, Organist, and it was put together by Julliard professionals. It was prolly the closest thing I will ever get to seeing the actual Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was GORGEOUS. I was a little nervous about Erics issue with holding still onstage, but he did awesome...That is until the last song. The little girl assigned to stand next to him, apparently had issues of her own holding still, and began to elbow him during Silent Night. He managed to ignore her, until she started to touch his face! I was mortified as my son couldnt contain himself anymore and began to act out funny faces with this girl! People paid $18-$84 to see this performance, and what they got was two little 7 year olds, smack dead in the center of the choir acting like goons. Fabulous! Despite this tiny set back, the Christmas concert was very successful (sold out show!) and absolutely phenomenal. I almost cried. It was a true moment for me as a mother to witness my son be apart of something so wonderful. It was 4 months of hard work, and Im so glad he got to be apart of it. His Gma Lish even hopped on a train from Washington to support him. We are so blessed. Now if we can just make it thru his first piano receital on Monday, life will be great again. hehe. Here are some pictures we snuck in. Click on the pictures to see them close up. You have to see it in its huge form to get the full effect. Eric is the blonde, slightly to the left from the middle, second row.
