Playing in the driveway....It was all fun! All fun until London got too cold, even tho bundled up, and decided to have a freak fest! But, before she did that, we got to play in the snow and find pinecones to make little bird feeders coated in peanut butter. Posted by Picasa

Way to Go, Syd!


Sydney played in her first piano recital on Sunday December 4th! She played "Away in a Manger" at her piano teacher's house, Mrs. Bass.

Sydney seems to be a natural tickling the ivories!

Sydney was one of 22 students that played that day.

Earlier that week, Sydney was awarded the "Terrific Kid" Award sponsored by the Kiwanas! There are only 2 students picked each month from each class. The students got to sit at a very special "Terrific Kid" table at lunch time, received a bumper sticker, a certificate, and a free pass to a fun activity at our local "Locomotion" fun park. Terrific kids are noted to be polite, caring, and thinking of others first, among other things! Yeah for Syd!
