What a voice!

Last night was Mackenzie's school's Cafe Night. It's a showcase for whoever wants to sing, dance, the bands, chorus, etc. As in most schools, there are quite a few very talented students, and some not so talented students, who are hurrayed and clapped for anyway. They are so cute when they get up there!

There was a group of 4th grade girls singing. One of them turned to her partner and shushed her. She wanted her solo! It was adorable. There was also a group of 5th grade boys who did "We Will Rock You." The sang, danced, played air guitar, and were having such a good time. Then there was Katherine who giggled almost every time it was her turn to sing in her group. I love kids!!!

Mackenzie did a solo, and brought the house down! She has such an amazing voice! Jessie is a singer, and Mackenzie takes after her. I was so proud, and so pleased for Jessie. I said to her "Now you know how I used to feel when you were on stage." She smiled and agreed.

Mackenzie messed up a couple of words, and that's all she focused on! Teenagers are so sensitive! People kept coming up to her and praising her, and all she kept saying was, "but I messed up!" I think she really knew how good she was though. She told me that all of these people coming over to her were "so annoying."

Aww Judy I bet you were so proud! I used to love to go to all that stuff with my kids. Now the grandkids live over 2 hours away so it's hard to go to much of it. But I do love to when I can. Glad you had fun and I bet Mackenzie was awesome

Now you're gonna have to tape Mackenzie so we can hear her sing too. I, too, love children's programs whether it's at church or at school and you're right...some are soooo talented.

Oh Judy, what a wonderful moment for you and Jessie!!! I bet that both of you were about to burst your buttons!!! I know in Jaci's queen talent that she messed up. You can barely tell it in the video but she said that it felt like a long time for her so the mistake felt huge. I'm sure that's how Mackenzie felt. We are always so much more critical of ourselves than others are. You're going to have to record something for us so we can hear her!! How wonderful!!! Aren't grandchildren amazing?!!!

I wish we could hear her sing! I'm sure she's very talented

Oh I would love to hear her sing! How cool! My stepsister can sing like a bird, and I can't carry a tune!

You are so fortunate to be so close to her and get to hear her sing! I know you are so proud of her!
