Piano Recital and Christmas Party

Amber had her Christmas Piano Recital while Mike was out of town =( But Ryan and I went with her and we took pictures. She fixed her hair and did a great job! We took some brownies (as always) and ended up winning for best tasting dessert . . . WHAT? When they called my name I said "No, I brought the brownies", seriously, I was certain they made a mistake. But she insisted, several people had voted for my brownies and I was the clear winner. I truly didn't believe it, they were just box brownies. I also won the second big prize of the night, the door prize. I usually never win, but I won two of the three big giveaways. It was such a kick.


Debbie had them say their name and age . . . Amber said 10, I didn't think she was nervous until she gave the wrong age (hee hee). She did great though =)



Amber's friends (twin sisters) sang at the recital on Tuesday night so we got to go both nights and had a great time at both too =)

The recital on Tuesday was also worth it because Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood were there. Their daughter goes to Charis for singing and guitar. She sang and played guitar to a song she wrote and she is really good! The girls (Amber, Hannah and Rachel) all got their picture with Garth and Trisha. Trisha said that Hannah (blonde) looked like Taylor Swift at her age. In fact Trisha took Hannah's picture and sent it to Taylor while Hannah was singing (wow). Hannah is a good little singer (hee hee). Anyway, it was a fun and exciting night.
