Christmas Concert - An Evening of Joy

Our second Christmas Concert was wonderful! Thank you to our amazing family and friends for your support the past few years. It means so much to us.

We spent months preparing for tonight and were so happy with how it turned out.

Mom and Dad paid for voice lessons for those of us who were in Utah (Christina, Tanya, and Natalie). Tamara was attending BYU-Idaho; she practiced on her own and drove down every few weeks to rehearse with us. Tiffany returned home from her Church Mission in Russia at the end of November; we only had a few short weeks to rehearse with her. But at the end of the day, everything came together for a beautiful night.

We made our dresses (with much of the sewing done by Mom) and used the pillars and backdrop from our last concert. Christina is pregnant with her 3rd child and it was interesting creating dresses that would fit. We invited our cousin Michelle Bate to sing with us; she has a lovely voice and we enjoyed having her!

Christmas Concert - the Performance

What an exciting, scary, beautiful night.

Thank you so much to our family and friends who came to support us! We really appreciate your love and kindness. A special thank you to our parents, Craig and Cynthia Gale, without whom none of this would have happened. We feel blessed to be your children.

This afternoon we had a blizzard here in Utah. Some of our guest performers weren't able to make it to the concert and we greatly missed them. Hopefully they'll be able to perform with us at a future event.

Here's the only picture we were able to find from the actual concert. Our friend Michael Burton (who filmed our music video for "One World") recorded the concert for us. Hoping to get a copy soon to post on YouTube. :)
