After months and months of practicing, and fighting, and crying about practicing, the day had finally come for Mirah’s spring piano recital.
After her Christmas Recital, we thought it might be more enjoyable for everyone if we got a babysitter for Lucas, and just the three of us went together.

 |
The recital was at the BYU conference center where Miss Korin’s dad is an employee. We arrived a few minutes early, dress and beautiful.
It took me fully an HOUR to curl all of that hair.
 |
 |
 |
There were LOVELY tulips right outside the room the recital would happen in. So we jumped out and took some quick pictures since Mirah was all dressed and beautiful.

The Program.

Korin welcomed the group, and reminded us that unless we told her otherwise, no lessons until the fall.
 |
 |
The music began, and Mirah was really trying to stay quiet and pay attention. I think she was just a ball of nerves.

A cute ball of nerves.
After two other people, it was Mirah’s turn. She introduced her pieces.
She just looks so little still.

Live and in action.
So So so many kids that we love also played that night. Like Lucas Powell.

Korin herself even played a song.
All the students joined in for a picture at the end. What a bunch of cuties.

It’s been a long year, and Mirah has come SUCH a long way. I am so so proud of her hard work and perseverance.
Mirah and her teacher.

After the recital, we went to dinner, just the three of us. Mirah chose, what else, Pho.

Even when she is silly, she is lovely. So proud of my funny, smart, beautiful, good girl today.
