Night Skating

Got a little skating in tonight.

Recitals

Ellis had her holiday piano recital.  She and Addison recently switched piano teachers.  Ellis, especially, has really been enjoying playing piano lately.  She wanted to perform in the Christmas recital even though she’d only had a few lessons with her new teacher.  She practiced her piece 50 times in one day!

Ellis also had her first band recital.  4th graders from several mountain schools joined together to perform.  There were 33 trumpets.  You can see Ellis on the right-hand side when the trumpets stand up.  Of course, you may notice that Ellis seems to be one of the only students holding her instrument properly.  We really enjoyed the concert.  It was very good, especially considering that the students have only been playing for 2 months.

Halloween 2011

Ellis made this with the 'Zombie App'

Addison, on the left, is a 'dead partygoer'. Ellis, on the right, is apparently Mardi Gras Stevie Nicks.

Fun with filters

Addison made some homemade filters for her camera, using plastic and magic marker.
