Christmas Concert

Tonight to help us get in the holiday spirt Rob and I went to see the Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus' (http://www.tcgmc.org/) production of Homespun Holidays. I was kind of surprised Rob said he would go since normally when I ask him to go to something like this, he tells me no. I think the reason he agreed had something to do with the fact that his co-worker and friend Terry was in the chorus. I love Christmas music and was so excited to go. We dropped Cooper off at the Peterson's and headed to the U of M campus where the concert was. Of course before the show I figured I had better run to the bathroom just in case. I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't a line for the women's bathroom, only the men's! The first act was very serious and formal. During the intermission Rob and I walked around and then we called to check on Cooper before the second act started and of course he was doing great. We had both been away from Cooper separately but this was our first night out together since he was born. The second act started and it was great! The last song is their signature song they sing at every show called Walk hand in hand with me. They asked everyone to hold hands. It was really amazing to see a whole auditorium filled with so many different people holding hands and singing together. I had to wipe my eye when it was done I was so moved. If you have never been to see the Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus I highly recommend you do so, we really enjoyed it.
