Friday night was my first ever piano recital! Yes, I've probably taught 100 students in my life, but I've never had my own recital until now. I thought it would be fun to have a little Christmas recital to let the parents of all of my new students get to know me a little bit, and the kids were so excited about it! I think I may have been more excited than my students though. :) I made invitations for the kids, then I made programs, I made cookies and bought soda, and invited my mom's little student Eli to join in too. It was a great night! (even though the recital only lasted about 15 minutes...) Word must be out that I'm an ok teacher because I have 2 (maybe 3) new students starting in January!

My mom was lucky enough to score 4 tickets to the Tabernacle Choir/David Archuleta concert so we made it a girls night out! Despite the boy in front of us being sick and disgusting (showing off his clogged nostrils and using his sleeve as a tissue) and the girl next to us not being able to sit still, it was AMAZING! I've never been a very big David Archuleta fan (at all), but this was the perfect setting for him! After the concert, we enjoyed a midnight meal at iHop. Josh and I were joking about how "Utah" I've become - complaining about how tired I am because the night before I went to a Tabernacle Choir concert and Ihop with my mom. :)

Josh and I are peanut butter cup addicts... So what does the mom do when she finds a giant size package of reese's? Buys them for us of course! That's two 1/2 pound cups, my friends... I imagine Heaven will be a little bit like this.
