Early Thanksgiving & Monster Concert

MILLER'S EARLY THANKSGIVING

We were able to go to Jeff and Shaura's house for Early Thanksgiving. I simply love this tradition. I love that we can spend time with both sets of families around the Thanksgiving Holiday. I hope this tradition continues for as long as I am alive. It is such a blessing to be with family!
This year for Early Thanksgiving, the girl's and I had a previous obligation. It seemed a bit crazy to drive down to Rupert for such a short period of time; however, we decided that time spent with family would be make the effort worth it. The girls and I missed the actual dinner, but we were able to enjoy an evening and a morning with the family before heading back to Boise. Bryan and Jacob caught a ride back to Boise with Dan and Danny (so grateful to them). 



Little Miss Hailey is in love with Wyatt. She kept stealing him from everyone else.


Jacob played in the Frozen Finger Football Game. He kept telling his daddy that he wanted to go inside, because he was so cold, but he stayed outside, because he didn't want to let his team down. He was so sweet. He has such a big heart. After the game, he was a bit exhausted.

MONSTER CONCERT

If the Monster Concert was any other concert, we would have simply missed it; however, both Hailey and Amber had partners that were depending on them to perform. If Hailey and Amber hadn't shown up, it would have left their partners in a lurch. I was somewhat sad to leave Early Thanksgiving, but because it was important to live up to our commitments--we did so. 
The concert was beautifully done, and the girls did a great job. Both Hailey and Amber earned a spot on a Grand Piano, which was truly exciting for the both of them. Prior to the actual concert, they perform for the conductor, and the best pianists are placed on a grand piano. For the Monster Concert, there are 20 pianist following a conductor. It is amazing to hear so many pianos playing in unison. 
Hailey's face is peeking out from her piano as she watches the conductor.
