Today I thought I would post a few photos that other people have taken.
First, we have my great nephew at a Christmas concert. He is right up front, but I confess I can’t be sure I spotted him. My niece, a violinist, sends lots of music photos. She teaches orchestra in middle school in North Carolina. Her husband is a fine piano player. Their daughter, in college, is highly accomplished on the flute. One of their 10-year-old boys plays violin, the other plays piano but is considering taking up cello, too, in order to play in orchestra concerts like the one pictured.
The next photo shows Erik’s niece in a Sankta Lucia service last month. She lives in Denmark. I have also included snapshots of Suzanne and Erik’s kids. My husband took some at the Children’s Museum and also at the house. Erik or Suzanne took the one of two grandparents struggling to get the ballet shoes on a young lady with a mind of her own. I’m not sure who was behind the camera as I was really concentrating on the shoes.

These are fun–and so full of “Christmas,” in terms of the public gatherings and time with family. I especially like the candlelit one!
Next year, I hope to go with Suzanne and Erik and the kids to the Santa Lucia service they attended in Greenwich, RI. You can buy cardamon buns in town, too. https://www.facebook.com/RI.SwedishHeritage/
