Piano Recital

My students had a great piano recital Saturday afternoon. Everyone did a marvelous job, and i was SO happy that A, D, and I had practiced how to be a good audience member! I didn't have any problems with them sitting on their own (I had left the two little kids w/ my dear hubby) while i announced, accompanied, etc.

A played Tambourine Party and We Three Kings:

D played Sailing in the Sun and Jingle Bells:

although on this little excerpt, D severely kack-ed the ending (and refused to try for another recording - wonder where THAT stubbornness came from ;-)

After the recital, D, A, and I headed out to dinner at Cracker Barrel for dinner in addition to doing a little Christmas shopping. It was kinda fun just to hang out with the older two, and i'm looking forward to a break from piano lessons (I always give the students the week after the recital off from lessons!)

p.s. don't you love our pudgy 'palmer' hands :-)
