The week before Christmas, we had our church Christmas concert and Bria’s school concert. Both our families came to see both concerts. It worked out very nicely that they were only one day apart.
David ended up being the only one in the church concert. Bria, Bentley, and I were still coughing and/or had sore throats the night of the concert. David has had a cold at least as long as Bria, but he seemed to be doing well enough to sing for the concert.
For being a small church, with only a small group of singers, they did a wonderful job. It was enjoyable to sit in the audience and listen to the songs I had practiced for months. Hopefully, my occasional coughing and sneezing didn’t disrupt the music too much.

Bria’s concert was the next night. She had missed the whole week of school prior to the concert because of her cold, which came with a fever. Finally on the day of her concert, she was doing well enough to go to school. She was nervous about standing up in front of everyone to sing. Once she saw her dress, however, she was excited to show it off, and her nerves seemed to settle down. She did a great job of standing calmly and participating in the singing and actions of her songs.

We really appreciate the grandparents coming and helping us while we were all sick. My parents stayed an extra day, and I went to with David to one of his meetings so I could finish up the Christmas shopping. By the time David’s meeting was done, we were both feeling run down from being sick. Instead of staying for the date night we had planned, we just headed back home.
The next day we were supposed to go caroling with the church, but we were all too sick to participate. Even our pastor was sick and couldn’t make it. Unfortunately, David’s dad also got sick from being at our house. That week was full of activities and illness.
