The beginning of the holiday season is a very musical time around here. Over the course of three days we had six performances, and then there were additional concerts in the middle of December. All of this happened while Gabe purchased and set up a drum set, Lisa purchased and set up an RV, and we celebrated Christmas and New Year's with family and friends.
