We began our Christmas celebration with going to recitals. Madison has began to play the violin. She played a Christmas concert with her School. She is playing beautifully, though I am not sure how, considering she never practices!
Emma is taking piano lessons and got up by herself to play 3 Christmas songs in front of about 25 people. I was worried that she would not do it because the night before her recital we had a Party here at our home with my side of the family. My Aunt Lyn and Uncle Chuck brought presents for all the kids and told them that they could open them now or wait until Christmas. Of course they all tore into their gifts except for my little Emma who promptly put her gift under the tree and came to sit on my lap to tell me that she wanted to wait until Christmas. She sat on my lap and watched as everyone open presents and than went up to get ready for bed. As soon as everyone left she ran back to the tree and began to open her gift. I asked her why she changed her mind. She said "Mom I don't want to wait until Christmas, I just didn't want everyone watching me." Oh no I thought, you have your first Piano recital in the morning, this should be fun! Despite my fears and the hesitation she had as she sat down at the piano she pulled it off beautifully. Way to go Girls!
