On Sunday morning we took Jonah and Caitlyn to see the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas concert. A friend in my ward got two sets of tickets so she gave us some. I thought it sounded fun, but I had no idea I would enjoy it so much. The first half hour was Music and the Spoken Word. It was amazing.
After that they started their Christmas concert. The guests this year were the Sesame Street Muppets. Caitlyn and Jonah thought they might be too old for it, but they loved it. I think Wyatt would have enjoyed seeing the Muppets, but it would have been way too long for him. They did a great job with the show. The Muppets were really funny and the songs were amazing.
Santino Fontana was the special guest. He does a lot of work on Broadway and he is the voice of Hans in "Frozen." He was amazing. I loved his voice and he was a great actor. I didn't even get embarrassed or have to look away!
There was so much going on all the time, you didn't know where to look. They had the choir, bell ringers, dancers, the band and orchestra, the Muppets and Santino Fontana and sometimes they were all on there at the same time. We were there for just under two hours. Caitlyn and Jonah really liked it. I loved looking over and seeing them laughing. At the end of the concert they had all of the performers come out on stage. They had all the puppeteers and Santino come out and they gave them a nice framed pictured and then the choir sang, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." It was very touching, some of them were crying. I love that everything the church does is done so well and with so much love. It was a great way to spend the Sabbath.
