year three of backyard nerf battle for eli’s birthday! the kids love it every year. we’ve had snow on the ground and they STILL stay out there for hours. this year we lucked out and had pretty good weather (in the upper 20’s). the kids played until dark!

| lyla had her first piano recital just before Christmas. she LOVED it. i said, “you didn’t even look nervous!” she said, “i wasn’t! it was SO fun!!!” mind you, this is my girl who just recently started talking to waiters. the girl who would rather go without than ask a “stranger” for anything. but put her in front of a piano and 50 strangers and she’s ready to rock! |

| lyla was the youngest student performing, she looked so tiny compared to the big kids. it was such a great experience. she did fantastic! hopefully next year eli will want to join in the fun:) |
