Enrich Showcase

Last night was a Showcase for the home school co-op, Enrich. The first graders were supposed to perform but cancelled at the last minute. Greta Fuller and I talked our daughters, Abby and Ella, into singing a duet. They practiced after Enrich and pulled off a wonderful rendition of Jingle Bells. Stephen emceed the event. It was a lot of fun.
