We have been busy, busy leading into Christmas! Brynn had three performances this week. Here is the recap!
 |
| I had forgotten to post this one last time from when we ate out with my parents at our fav Chinese restaurant, Lucy's. Clara was in full fledged social mode and struck up a conversation with a nearby table. |
For school Brynn is assigned to read 20 minutes each night. She is super into the Junie B Jones book series right now and sometimes asks if she can read aloud to me for her 20 minutes. Junie B books are pretty comical with lots of antics from Junie B and Brynn reads it just how you'd imagine June B talking, so it's fun to listen to her. The other night she was getting pretty interactive with her reading and was acting out some of what she was reading.
Tuesday was the HopeKids After School Program concert. Brynn was NOT looking forward to this one at all for whatever reason. Clara was excited though. As soon as she saw Brynn up there, she was furiously waving to her and repeating, "hi, hi!" Ha, it was so cute. They made it through their songs and then we went out to eat at Village Inn. You can tell from the pics that she is less than enthused.

Friday night we finally made it on our annual holiday lights tour. You can see Brynn with her Santa hat on behind me. She brought her Christmas piano book with and was serenading us with holiday tunes.
Saturday the grandparents joined us for Brynn's piano recital at Miss Penny's house. Brynn is taught in a group lesson format now, versus just one-on-one lessons. Her partner is the one sitting across from her. They played "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" with another twosome group. It sounded fantastic and all the kids did such a great job. It was fun to listen to everyone's pieces.
Grandma Holly & Papa Kevin stayed with us Saturday so they could come to see Brynn sing in church this morning. They babysat for us while Dana and I went out to a new comedy club downtown and out for a slice of pizza afterward. Thanks, Grandpa & Grandma!
Brynn was pretty nervous about this performance and Daddy gave her an encouraging pep talk before we left for church this morning. She did so well, though. She didn't look nervous or unhappy to be up there at all.
Thank you to both sets of grandparents for attending the performances this weekend!
Visiting with Mom and waiting for Rosha to come play today.
Rosha brought a game with that she had made up using her classmates' class photos. They did make it outside for a bit too.

Fataneh, Rosha's mom, brought us a homemade dessert which was a saffron pudding of sorts. Brynn was curious to try it, but Dana said it was really good.
