Up early to attend a 'before school' band concert for the elementary grades at Riverside. Aliyah played her saxophone to Jolly Old St. Nick, Up On The Housetop and Jingle Bells. Brought me back to Elle's, Eva's and Elise's 5th. grade concerts:) Afterward I tromped a little through Buttermilk Park, and then came home to tackle the shoveling of several houses. Paul's jazz band is playing tonight, for anyone interested, at the Windhover...7:30 and free admission as always. Poor Elle took a bad tumble on the ice outside of school, and fell hard on her back with her legs sliding under the van:( It was parked, but she really bruised her shins and is sore all over today. The bad thing is she had to do a performance 1/2 hour after. I tried to encourage her to opt out, but she didn't want to let everyone else down. (That's the choir with only 4 voices on each part.) So last night and this morning she was in a lot of pain. Thank heavens tomorrow is the last school day, and she can really relax. Picking up Aliyah later for our last shopping trip for a new dress for her to wear to church. Then I won't go inside a store again for a long time. Bring on Christmas!
