Carols and Christmas Trees

Robert provides a unique fundraising experience for his students. Instead of selling food which covers the vast majority of fundraising around here, he sets up gigs for the students. This year the students prepared some classical pieces and some carols and then provided background music for a few local events. I thought they did a great job. They played for my doTERRA Christmas Party. One guest commented that the live music "put it over the top!" It really set a festive mood and there is nothing like live music to add to an occasion. The kids met their fundraising goals and I had a great time on tour with them. Can't wait for next year! These pictures are from the town lighting and tree festival. We donated a little music tree this year. My neighbor won our tree. She has a cute, country-decorated room. It looked so perfect in there.

The boys put their tickets in for this tree but we won a roll of wrapping paper instead :(

Robert's cousin called one day and said she was mailing some musical Christmas Tree decorations. They were left over from their ward party and she thought we might like them. The kids and I borrowed a tree, and a stand, and sneaked up to the school while Robert  was at the elementary. We got it all decorated and left it with the Christmas lights on and the main lights off. The funny thing is, he didn't notice until the students came in and said, "Hey, where did that tree come from?" Merry Christmas.

 The high school students decorated Robert's door for teacher appreciation week. It's an inside joke. I'll give you a hint: The main song is called "sheep may safely graze" with the last two measures being the theme song from a movie about sharks. Silly kids. I loved it.
