Now that child sings in a boys choir here in Tn.. They just performed their Singing Christmas Tree in our old theatre, the Tivoli. My hubby always works backstage with them for at least one performance so he's good doing the hushing stuff! If you've heard the new Casting Crowns Christmas CD, my sons choir sings background for "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day". Of course I tell everyone, he got that talent from Moi!! I don't care if he didn't, I'm taking full credit! Don't ya love kids choirs!!Jane In The Junglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936518391049202659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-83829236775549045302008-12-11T00:08:00.000-05:002008-12-11T00:08:00.000-05:00What an honor for her!
