The First Gift of the Season

When Charlotte asked her mom what she wanted for Christmas,  Daphne told her she wanted to play a duet with Char at church. (Charlotte started taking piano lessons last year.)

They have been practicing for weeks, and on Sunday Daphne got her Christmas wish.

Grandma Betty and Great Aunt Renea were in the audience, and I have a suspicion that Grandma Deb was there, too.

Sunday was also the day for the Christmas program. Char had quite a few lines this year. 

She also played the bells. Don't expect a smile. Char takes this program seriously, and she concentrates on what she is doing. I have to respect that.

Besides playing the duet, the highlight for Daphne was Char's carolling bonnet. It looked very Victorian, and Daph loved it.

Whew. We survived another Christmas program!
