End of the year piano recital.
Although it was a nail-biter with some tears shed, Miriam did earn her piano achievement metal. She was very prepared for this recital and performed well...especially the emotion she brought into her playing. My sister Sarah does that so beautifully it's something I really admire in music performance. Lots of people can play the piano, Sarah can make you feel the music. I don't know if that is something you can learn or something born it, but hopefully it's something Miriam can achieve.
Since it was a double performance day we splurged with a trip to the Orange Leaf. Testing all the flavors is just as fun as loading up with the mochi and stuff.

That evening we went to M's ballet recital.
Traditional ballet, and also an Irish dance number.
The recital had some music glitches but they persevered and the girls did their best.
It's always fun to watch Miriam dance because you can tell she enjoys it. Thats how it was with my other sister Julia. Not matter how hard the dance moves were, Julia made it look effortless and like she was having the time of her life. Hopefully that genetic gem also made it's way down to Miriam.
It was not easy being Miss Congeniality in a home full of beauty queens. Luckily my sisters are so great I have nothing but admiration for thier talents and how hard they worked to develop them.
