Anniversary and Tani's Birthday

Marisa's Christmas Choir Program

Tonight was the Jr High choir program. Marisa hasn't been feeling well and went to bed as soon as she arrived home from school. Tonight she felt poorly but she went anyways since attendance at the concert is a significant part of their grade. The performances were good and Marisa did well. Afterwards we ran into Nate Powell whose daughter was also performing.
