Abbeyfield Christmas concert

I haven't mentioned this before, but I have a part time job at Abbeyfield. Abbeyfield is a non-profit organization that provides affordable housing for independent seniors. My job is to prepare the main meal for the residents, answer phones, and generally make sure everyone is o.k, and if anyone is ill, I have to call 911. It is basically like being a stay at home mom, except the children are a hundred years old.
I absolutely love working there and the seniors are wonderful.
The seniors were very pleased when I asked them if the children could come and put on a Christmas concert for them.
Thomas started the program by reciting a Christmas poem.
Grace sang "Away in a Manger" in French.
Mary Margaret played her guitar.
Eva played her cello.
Grace "Jolly Old St. Nicholas"
Heather also played a couple pieces on the piano.Felicity played her harp and also a song on the piano. Little Trinity handed out the programs to everyone, and sang along with everyone.
Here are some of the residents. After the concert was over, they called for an encore, and the kids played some songs over again.
Gregory, Mary, and Felicity all played together. It sounded so beautiful. The concert was a huge success!
Merry Christmas from the Rhones.
