A Christmas Concert

My mom has been teaching my dad, Makena, Carlie, and Trey piano for the past 5 months or so.  Carlie dropped out about 8 weeks in to it.  I think it was partly because piano just isn't her thing, and partly because it just comes so natural to Makena.  I definitely know how that feels, so I didn't make her do it, but I tried to encourage her.  She still didn't want to, so we quit :(
Makena is doing great, and Trey is doing about the best that a 7 year old boy can do!  My dad is also doing well.  He too gets a little discouraged because it doesn't come to him as natural as it does to Makena.  I guess she takes after her Aunt Jamie and Nana :) 
Anyway, Sunday night we didn't have church, so we went over to my parents house to eat and have a Christmas concert from Pop and Makena. They both did so well!!  I took a couple of pictures with my phone to document the occasion :)

Pop, playing his music.  He played Silent Night, Jesus Loves Me, and God Is So Good

Makena played Silent Night, Away In A Manger, and Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer

 

I'm so proud of all of them.  Trey didn't really have a song to play yet, but is very excited about learning more. 

Keep up the good work!!
