Student Recital

Every year I put together a Christmas Recital for my students. Who in their right mind add ONE more thing to the Christmas season?! But honestly, I love it. It gives us an opportunity to perform Christmas ensemble music and my students always do so well at this recital! I am so proud of them!


Here is a picture of my students. Sadly not everyone could come but a lot of the cute girls in my studio (again, why do I do it in December!?)


Kephren's phone dropped behind the stage. Pretty sure they had to take it apart before the concert! Classic.


Congratulations girls! So proud of you!

Nesting Much?

Something I look forward to every year is decorating our home for Christmas. Yep. Pretty sure these decorations have been up since Thanksgiving. I love Christmas. This year, during our "massive" snow storm, I had some time to decorate since school got canceled. Turned on some Christmas music and away I went. I apologize because these pictures are basically all the same thing but I hope you enjoy a little Christmas spirit!



I love letters, words, etc. Anything that has meaning. This is one of my favorite decorations- thank you mom!


Our Bookcases


This tree has a lot of meaning to me. I got it when I was one tour with HarpFusion in Europe. Lots of memories behind this music box/ tree.

You gotta love the annual Christmas Harp Ensemble....

Giving Thanks

This year for Thanksgiving, Scottie and I went to St. George to spend our last Thanksgiving with John before he leaves on his mission. It turned out to be a much needed and wonderful trip. My dad's family was there so it was fun to spend time with cousins and family. Thanksgiving dinner was incredible full of traditional cinnamon twists and turkey. I'm pretty sure that I haven't eaten that much as I did that weekend. We ate out every day, watched some football, played games, shopped, and enjoyed the nice weather.
