Wow, what a month! It all started with Tuba Christmas down in Denver. 343 tubas and ephoniums playing Christmas carols in Larimer Square. The music was actually rather difficult. I couldn’t play half of it with only two hours of rehearsal. I expect next year will be better. Here are some more photos up on flikr.
Then, as our family was about to descend on us, the biggest blizzard that I can remember in Colorado hit. It meant lots of canceled plans, and stranded Ellie’s family in their cold and dark house.
Nevertheless, we had a great Christmas. Ruth and Jen came out sporting new rings. We’re all waiting to hear when the big date will be! As always, Lora helped cook up a storm. Jeannette and Steve came out the day after Christmas and stayed the rest of the week. The cousins had a great time playing together. Here are some photos of the week.
