So here is Garrett, Jenna, and Rebekah in their piano recital they had on Friday. They practiced hard, but to my surprise weren't too worried about perfection. Which I though was good. Its hard to be prefect in real life so I thought it was great that they were ok messing up in front of people. They each had a flaw here or there, but did great over all! Poor Garrett actually memorized his songs, but took the music up just in case. He gets terrible stage fright, so when he went to play his second song he had the tune of the first song stuck in his head- it took a minute to get the right tune goin. I was proud of the way he recovered and wasn't terribly embarrassed. They are all getting quite good in their piano playing, I love that they are now playing fun songs- much better to listen to than the 3-4 note songs they start out with.

This was great! Some day they all really appreciate taking piano lessons when they were young...especially Garrett when he goes on his mission... they need elders who can play the piano. Great kids!
