The Music Recital.

Kendall and Hannah are both taking piano lessons from Miss Diane.  She is an amazing woman with tons of patience and a heart for kids.  She held a recital for both of our families.  She included all of the kids. 
 
 
The kids waiting in anticipation for the recital to begin.
 
Sidney told the story of The Friendly Beasts through felt characters while Miss Diane played the piano and sang along.

Asher sang a song.  Eli played his guitar.  It is a bummer that I do not have a picture because he looked really cool,

Hannah played beautifully.
 

Kendall played a song on the piano then sang Auld Lang Syne (aka the New Year's song).
 
Kendall had learned Auld Lang Syne from her school music teacher.  It was one of the songs they sang for the second grade music program.  Again, no good pictures - Gah!

It was so awesome that Diane thought of doing a recital with the kids.  They all had a great time performing.  She taught them to introduce their selves and to play with "nerves".  It was great.  Afterward we had a cookie exchange with friends at the Nelson's.  Then we went to my work party.  We partied until almost 10pm that night  Big time for us!

Kevin had his second round of chemo that weekend.  He did so much better.  The medicine that we had to combat the symptoms worked well.  He has been quite tired this week though.  He is resting up during the rainy weekend as we have LOTS of family coming into town for Christmas.  It will be a good time!
