Harp Christmas Concert, Miniature golf and Freddie's Frozen Custard!

Our day started with the girls getting to play their harp duets for the early morning and late morning church service.  Then quickly went to SA to be a part of a large harp ensemble with a bell choir.  It was a very lovely program.  I believe there were sixteen harps on stage!  The music was simply heavenly.  About three or four years ago we went to the annual Christmas harp ensemble and Kristalyn dreamed of playing the harp someday and now she was there on stage playing those beautiful songs.  God is so faithful to give us the desires of our heart and even more...she gets to have a sister learn and play right along with her.  How amazing is that?! For Kristalyn, not being able to continue her piano or violin this year has been difficult but God has been so gracious to give her harp lessons to keep her going.  She loves her music!  

After the concert we were all invited to head over to play miniature golf...what FUN! Can you imagine all sixteen of us trying to get organized and divided into "even" teams since many have never played before. We started off with a group lesson from the notorious golfer, Mr. Michael Clark. He taught us all so well that even while chasing little ones and balls we still managed to get the ball in the hole...eventually:) Kaylianna was just overtaken with the magnificent beauty of the whole place. She continually made comments like "look Mom, it's amazing, it looks like we are at a jungle" as she spreads her arms wide open and spins and dances around in circles taking it all in. Watching her, Christian and Justin truly made it an even a greater adventure!

Next, we headed over to get a bite to eat. We are so grateful that we have special friends that aren't scared off by the "masses". Walking into a restaurant and miniature golf with all of us is no quick and easy feat. Everything we do seems to be quite the adventure:) I think the people that worked at the restaurant thought some bus just unloaded. What fun memories were made! With full tummies and contented hearts we all said our farewells and headed back for home. We truly never cease to be amazed at the goodness of God to our family.
