Last Friday night we went to our adoption agency's Christmas party. They had asked for children of the adoptive families to perform musically, read poetry, etc. Our kids were thrilled to perform. The boys all played their Christmas songs on the piano and Sydney played Jingle Bells on the violin. They were a bit intimidated at the auditorium size, the amount of people watching and the "spotlight" when we first walked in, but in the end they played right through their songs just fine, nerves and all! Afterwards, we treated them to an ice cream at Mc D's for being brave.
These are the smiles of some relieved kids!
