It happened in December...

December always is a bit of a busy month. Lots of goings on. Natalie had her 19th birthday which we celebrated with a wonderful dinner, gift, and then a trip to Anacordes. She is more then halfway through college and has 11 (well, something like that) of her own violin students. But she is just a great gal, and we love having her around, and we had fun celebrating her birthday.

Abigail's card for Natalie

Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit. They assisted me and the JAM (Jessica, Alexa, and Matthew) team as we cut down the tree. The girls cooked a wonderful dinner and provided entertainment! Thanks gals.

Bringing Back the Tree

Abigail and Sophia put were part of a charming performance of Romeo and Juliet. Though both played rolls in the unfortunate demise and death of the two good harted but misguided heroes.

Abby as Marcucio

Sophia as the "servant"

Jessica and Sophia performed well at their violin recital. It has been wonderful to see them take such positive steps forward and enjoy (well some of it is work) playing beautiful music.

Duet!
