Musical Family Night

We have been starting our family night off each week
with a musical talent show from everyone.
We each perform a song on the piano, organ, violin,
or Donny's latest= the bagpipes!
He's only been playing the chanter for a week-
he is obsessed an improving quickly.
I love what an avid learner Donny is.
We definitely have a love of learning.
(And ours is usually obsessive learning)
Here is his new (used) bagpipes:

We recently bought a FULL PEDALS ORGAN.
I love it!  I have been practicing my head off every day.
I feel like I get so much inspiration while playing the hymns and classical music.
It really helps me to TUNE IN to the spirit.

Here's Myriam teaching everyone the Christmas Song-
 "Angels We Have Heard on High"
She wants to go caroling to nursing homes every night!

Here's Holland joining in the fun with a made-up song
after everyone else had performed.

AHH! Bagpipes are so wonderful. It's so exciting to have someone in the family learning them! Go, Donny!

I agree with Allison...the bagpipes are amazing! That is by far one of the coolest talents ever! Keep it up Donny!
