Alvord Kid's Christmas Concert...

I love this time of year, when I officially get to see exactly what I am receiving in return for all the money I have been paying for piano lessons (including the sometimes torturous practice sessions at home).

I was not disappointed!!

So, for the sweet Grandmother to the North (and over a mountain) and the darling Grandparents to the East (and over an ocean), here is the fabulous concert you were unable (with valid reasons) to attend.

KELSIE performed -

• Nuttin' for Christmas - Roy Bennett and Sid Tepper
• Gingerbread Boogie - R. Faber
• Vivace - Fernando Carulli (video)

BROCK performed -

• We Wish You a Merry Christmas - Traditional Carol (video)
• African Elephant - N. Faber
• Malaguena - Pablo de Sarasate

RYAN (in his very LAST piano recital) performed -

• Joy to the World - G.H. Handel

• Apologize - One Republic and Ryan Tedder (video)

and EMILEE (although not officially on the program) performed -

• Bumping into Mom's Arm - Making the video footage shaky
• Climbing all over Dad - Because she can't sit still
• Swinging from the Handrail - So she is in every picture and video footage possible - see if you can spot her

We celebrated the occasion by going home and doing chores, after all it was Saturday and Christmas only a week away :o)
