On Saturday after I came home from yoga I raced to get ready so that Mary could make it to her piano lesson, which was right before Lydia’s harp recital. December gets so crazy! Lydia did great at the recital. The student before had changed the key signature of the harp and forgotten to change it back, so Lydia started off playing the wrong key. She powered through without any mistakes, not stopping even when Anamae came to flip the levers and correct the key. I was so proud of her.
Then we went home and Abe, Clarissa, and I napped while the other kids watched a movie. When we woke up, we piled in the car and drove to Salt Lake to buy my mom’s Christmas present, see the lights at Temple Square, and eat dinner at Cedars of Lebanon, a restaurant Abe and I ate at years ago and remembered fondly. In the ensuing years, the restaurant has become a lot more fancy than we remembered. Abe ended up sacrificing eating dinner with us so and took Ammon and Clarissa out to get the car while the girls and I ate. After we finished, the girls LOVED watching the belly dancer. Mary was copying her moves and asked if she could become a belly dancer when she grows up. I said sure.
Here are the pictures from the outing:
