First Violin Recital

So after 2 months of violin lessons, I had my first recital.  I performed "Twinkle Little Star", variation #5.  I stood up there with 4 other 5 year olds!  Brent, who was unable to attend, asked me if I kicked their trash!  I was nervous but did pretty good. 

Since then I have graduated from the Twinkles.  I am loving the challenge and have found that I'm not as talented as I thought!

Here's a pic of my teacher, Ashely Braithwaite.

Merry Christmas!

Simply Find the Motivator

So there's been some improvement in Ellie's dance class. All it took was finding her motivator: Artic Circle ice cream cone. Preferably chocolate and vanilla kind. She's not perfect but is SO much better. Ellie is in the front row in the purple dress.
