Pre-Christmas Festivities

We headed to Winston to see family last weekend and besides the 14 hour drive (not kidding) and the icy roads we had a great time. Stella and Aaron got to see and play in snow last February but it was really wet and really cold. This time there was 6 inches on the ground and it was sunny and pretty warm.

Sledding in the backyard with Cousin Will.


Choosing a victim for a snowball attack.

Then we came in out of the cold for some music time.


And now I will play a few selections from The Goldberg Variations in the style of Glenn Gould...


The unorthodox "fist" technique of playing


Working the ivories with his leg thrown over the bench.



Stella with two of her favorite things - snowglobes and kitties.

The trip home was much less eventful and only 5 hours. We are so thankful for our family and the chance to spend time together!
