Live Entertainment - The Messiah

 Before we get into the topic of The Messiah, I have to share the live entertainment we now have thanks to the money Grandpa gave the five year old for his birthday.  He knew right away he wanted a Minion.  In fact, he told me we needed to go to the "minion store." :)

We weren't sure at first what he was up to.

But once he had the minion safely strapped down, he "drove" him to the doctor. :)  It was quite a detailed play scenario.

Okay, speaking of Minions, the guy standing at the front, singing, has the last name of Minion.  Seriously.  This was a performance the day after Thanksgiving from the college our daughter is attending.  She was in the group.

She's to the middle and left - with her bangs across her forehead, next to the girl with the headband.  We used the live streaming feature to pull it up on the computer, then connected it to Mom's nice big television so everyone could watch.  They did songs from The Messiah, and several other Christmas songs, then had preaching afterward.

Her five year old brother did his best to steal the show.

Like the headgear?  It's one of the cushions from my new computer.

Otherwise known as handcuffs.

There were a couple smaller pieces that he used as ear plugs, sideburns, and blindfolds.

 The minion even got in on the act.

As did my niece ;)

Lots of creativity.

But we really were paying attention :)  It was a good concert, and I'm especially thankful for the live streaming option since she's on the opposite side of the country.  We're looking forward to having her home for Christmas - a treat we didn't get last year.
