Once a year, every Christmas Eve my Dad busts out the
accordion. We always wish we could hear it more often and this year we got our wish!
In
Briggs's class they were reading a book and it had a picture of someone playing the
accordion so of course he announces that his Grandpa can play. His teacher who is my Aunt Cheryl suggested to Briggs that maybe he come in the class and play for everyone. Now those of you that know my Dad know that this is a little out of his comfort zone. But
unfortunately for him he also has a little bit of a soft spot for his
grand kids and I don't think he had the heart to tell Briggs no. So off he went to perform for not only
Briggs's class, but all the grade two's and the teachers. He even learned a new song for the performance. Briggs could not of been more excited.
So since the
accordion was pulled out of the storage room a few weeks before Christmas it got a lot more playing time than usual. There's always laughing, singing, and dancing when it's out. Here are pictures to prove it.
Mom don't be mad at me for putting these pictures on, it just shows what a good, fun Grandma you are!
The kids all have to take their turn trying it out.

how fun, I love that he couldnt say no to Briggs...reminds me of when I was in Kindergarten i think, and we were doing the letter E and I said my dad was an electrician, SO, they had him come climb a pole with all his gear, and they have had him come back every year since...well I am not sure he has done it the last few years, but he did it for A LONG time, and he was always telling me it was all my fault!
Those are GREAT pictures, those are the ones we treasure forever!
