Rebecca's busy November

This month was full of fun stuff for Rebecca. Near the beginning of the month, she and two of her friends competed in the "Battle of the Books," where each team has to answer questions about 4 books that they have read. Their team won! Now on to reading the next 4 books.
Next, Becca had her first Young Women in Excellence, which is kinda like a Court of Honor. She had only been in YW a month but she was asked to accompany the opening song, something she has never done before. She played "My Heavenly Father Loves Me," and she did great.
The next night was mind-blowing for mom and dad. Becca got to participate in a Young Lions choir concert. Kids (mostly 6th graders) from all the elementary schools that feed into Red Mountain joined with the junior high and high school choirs. It was surreal to have one of our kids up on the stage that Richard and I sang on a few years ago (or so it seems). Here is the combined elementary choir.

Keeping her eyes on the conductor...good job!

Cousin Jenny was also there! What a fun surprise!

It was a great concert and we are so excited for many more choir concerts in our future. :)
The following week was the Young Lions Band concert. This was pretty fun too, although not quite as exciting as the event was not organized as well. Still it was great to hear a big band playing, and Becca was very impressed with the HS marching band.

Becca's final event this month was a piano composition recital. She worked really hard and wrote a beautiful song called "Megan's Lullaby." (If only Megan would sleep whenever she heard it!) She (and mom) got to perform it at a recital and she got a small trophy.

We are so proud of all of Rebecca's blossoming talents. But what I love most about her is her willingness to help, her kindness, her sensitivity to others, and her good nature. We are so glad to have Rebecca in our family and we love her so much!
