Our weekend was all about music…

Friday

The kids and I went to hear their dad’s Christmas concert with his early music vocal ensemble Zephyrus.

The following day the boys had their piano recital:

…and then we raced back to church to cap off our musical weekend with a beautiful candlelight Lessons and Carols service.

Blurry picture, but I can’t resist!

It was lovely to hear my daughter’s sweet voice floating down from the balcony at the beginning of the service…

Once in royal David’s city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
