Piano Recital

l-r Andrew, Sophia, Ian, Carter, Orion, Rebecca, Theron, Natalie, Katelyne, Emilyn, and Teacher Jamie
missing: Madison and Matthew
My kids had their annual piano recital last night. They did such a good job. Theron even played We Wish You a Merry Christmas while everyone sang along. I was amazed. This is Orion's first year, he's been taking since September. Ian, Sophia and Theron have been taking lessons for 3 1/2 years. They luckily have a wonderful teacher in Jamie Jensen. She just lives up the street so they usually go by themselves. Her number of students has steadily grown, there are two missing from this photo. All the kids did wonderfully. I'm always telling the kids that they need to be able to play the piano for when they are on their mission. Jamie said the same thing last night. It's always nice to hear it from someone other than Mom. I'm really so pleased with all their hard work and their willingness. Much thanks to Jamie for teaching my children.

I love piano recitals, it is when you see all the time and money is so worth it! By the way I don't know if I've told you, I LOVE your hair.

I've got to get a piano. My grandma said she is going to leave me hers when she passes on... tick tock (just kidding, that's horrible) What age do you start your kids?

Marie, Theron was youngest at 5, almost 6, but he was ready. Orion is 7.
