The Start of a New Decade!

For me, anyway.  30 came and went and I didn't feel a momentous "you are old" or anything.  Which is good, since I better have a lot of time ahead of me!  Aaron's mom made 'dr. pepper pork' for dinner and it just hit the spot!  She also made me this fabulous cake - super rich, all kinds of yummy chocolaty-ness.  Just perfect!

After dinner, Carson and Grandma jammed for a bit.

Jana played several Christmas carols while she and I sang.  Evie joined us after a while.

Then Grandma pulled out her Ukulele, which had Evie all kinds of excited. 

It was really sweet, for me to watch Aaron's mom and my daughter studying music together!


After Grandma's fingers had had enough torture, Evie kept on practicing.  One of these is now on her own Christmas list, but in the meantime, she's content knowing that she gets to practice/play any time she goes over to Grandma's house.

On another musical note, Evie is very excited to begin piano lessons with our ward organist starting the first week of the new year!  I'll admit that I'm just a bit excited, too. :D

While Evie and Grandma made music, I lazily laid down under the tree and took pictures from a less-usual angle

Definitely a happy birthday to me!
