Could she be any more festive looking, wearing last year's Christmas dress and carrying a beautiful instrument? I try not to embarrass Carolyn with my photography habit when she's with friends in a school setting - home's fair game - but I couldn't resist snapping a few quick candids while they were all getting ready to warm up.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure all her friends have embarrassing parents too. They're pre-teens, after all.
Ah yes! Embarrasiing the kids! Know that feeling from long ago. They hated even seeing their photos when growing up. Now they sit and enjoy.... and laugh.
