Je Me Souviens

On November 21st, Kaleb and Noé along with 425 youth from Quebec and Eastern Ontario performed at the Montreal Temple Cultural Celebration!

Here are my young pioneers before they left for Montreal in the morning.  They left our home around 6:30 in the morning and didn't get home until almost 1:00 the next morning.  It was an all-day affair and they had a wonderful time!  Kaleb received a red sash to add to his costume and Noé had a bonnet for her hair.

They performed for President Eyring and other church leaders.  The lady in turquoise in the background is my friend Christy and her husband beside her is Elder Perkins.  It was so cool that they got to come to these festivities!

Let the celebration begin!  There were beautiful dances, songs, fun skits, and narration of the history of Montreal.  Our friend Chloe was the main ballerina (in light blue).

An awesome aboriginal dance.
 
Red is for the English and blue is for the French.
Here are the English loggers (or lumber jacks)...

...and here are the French ones.

A beautiful song performed by two sisters.

The French settlers...

...and the English settlers.
Kaleb and Noé performed in this dance.  Can you see them?

Can you see Kaleb now?

Can you see Noé now?

Beautiful Chloe again!

A vivacious Latin/Caribbean dance.

Another enchanting dance, the African/Creole one.
My friend Berny choreographed this at 8 months pregnant!

The finale where all 425 youth sang I Know That My Redeemer Lives in French.
I hope Kaleb and Noé will always remember this day!
(I also hope we can get a DVD of it, they haven't been able to watch it yet.)
