Violin

Carly started taking violin in the fall.  She takes private lessons on Fridays at 7am!  She has liked it and loves that she's learning with her cousin Hannah too (her lesson's at 7:30).  As she has learned to play, so have I.  It's a constant struggle to get her to practice...I'm hoping she'll thank me later.  Well, in December, she had her first concert.  They were invited to play at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in the Mezzanine.  It was so beautiful, and the music was awesome.  She had them playing with everyone else, so if they weren't perfect, you wouldn't know.  The whole company played the first few songs, and once the little ones played all they knew, they would taper off.  She had a great time!

Since we were already downtown, we let the kids look at the temple from the top floor of the JSM Building.  Then we looked at the Christmas candy windows at Macy's, then lunch at City Creek and a little shopping.  A very nice afternoon!
