My Pianists

Today I dug through my old piano books, and unearthed my dusty, but intact book of Christmas songs.  I thought the kids would really love to hear me play the songs they have started to learn.  I was envisioning a big family sing-a-long.  It didn't go exactly as I had planned.

At first, when I dared to play "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" the kids got really excited.  Their excitement over the song was quickly followed by choruses of "I wanna play the piano!"  Tes ran over to sit next to me, and I scooted Christian over in his high chair.  For some reason, I thought I might still be able to play a little, with them next to me.  I should have known better.  It wasn't long before their rendition of the song overpowered mine, and I gave up.  So instead of singing for my children, I watched them play.  I must say, even though they weren't exactly playing together, or in any particular key, they really made beautiful music.
