Holiday Gala

 A couple of weeks before Christmas, we had a little at home Talent Show of sorts. I wanted to motivate the girls to practice their instruments and actually perform for us so I came up with this awesome idea 6 weeks earlier. The gist of it was that if they could perform it proficient enough to do it on a stage, they would earn a little holiday cash as a reward. You give Emmrey any sort of incentive program and she will become a little obsessed about it:/ She made up this handy program timed to the minute.
Emmrey did several little dance numbers for us. She had choreographed them fresh with moves from her recital the week before. She danced to Frosty the Snowman, Hot Chocolate, Jingle Bell Rock, and Santa Baby
 She also played We Wish You a Merry Christmas on her Ukulele. She hasn't had any proper lessons on it yet, so it was improvised.
Kars treated us to four numbers on her guitar, including Little Do You Know (Alex & Sierra), Bleeding Out (Imagine Dragons), Rudolph and Jingle Bell Rock. She did such a good job. Bailee was tentatively put on the program. In the end she opted to not participate, feeling like she hadn't had enough practice time to do her piano songs justice....maybe another time.
 * I have videos of all their performances, but will respect the wishes of my girls to
 "not post them on the blog"
