Christmas Piano Recital~ Let it Snow!

This year's piano recital was so much fun!  Thank you so much Melanie for being such a wonderful, inspirational teacher to my children!  Instead of the traditional "Sunday Clothes" for this year's recital, Melanie asked them to dress in winter apparel so we could pretend it was a winter wonderland, in Saint George.  I thought it was a GREAT idea.  Tait played "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day", Tiernan played "Bring a Torch Jeanette", and Amara played "Away in a Manger".  Then they played duets.  Tait and Tiernan played "Jingle Bells" and Tiernan and Amara played "Oh Come All Ye Faithful".  After all the kids were done playing, Melanie played "Let it Snow" and we all sang along :)  My Favorite! After the wonderful recital, we went and ate dinner at Bajio with our good friends, The Melo's!  We are so blessed to be able to take piano lessons again.  We really missed it last year.  Thanks Melanie!  We love you!

Great job Tait, Tiernan, and Amara! You guys did amazing and deserved it all since you practiced so hard. Tait, you amaze me with practicing your solo over 100 times in 2 days. Way to stay motivated! Let me just say that I am the lucky one to teach your wonderful children Annette! I love each one of them and appreciate how well you help them stay on task. I couldn't do it without ya! Thanks!
