new addition to our house

last saturday my very dear friend justin and his parents helped us move my grandmother's (nannee) piano to our house! it was my job to get it from my parents house to us and it only took 11 months. ha. don't act so surprised. :) once we played "musical furniture" in the dining room for a while, we finally got the piano in the perfect spot! doesn't it look nice?

having the piano in the house brings back lots of memories. my brother will and i took lessons on this when we were little and almost always played a little christmas carol recital for the family on christmas eve. neither of us were that great from what i remember (our teacher quit teaching because he got a b in college. sheesh!) but i do remember my favorite christmas song to play was "jolly old saint nicholas." haha.

once we got the piano in place i played what i know (which is like 5 notes) of "lean on me" and resisted the temptation to play that song everybody knows on the piano ("heart & soul") cus whitney hates it when people play that song and think they know how to play. haha. i kind of agree with her on that one. then whit sat down and rocket promptly jumped up with us and played a little tune. he loved it! paisley was scared to put her paws on the keys. silly paisley. she must be more of a percussion kind of girl...maybe we should get a drum set and find out!
