Happy 10th Birthday, Abbie!

Yesterday the Marshall and DeL clans drove to the Hyslop residence, to celebrate Abbie's 10th birthday. We all enjoyed some lunch, complete with Pumpkin Praline birthday cake, the girls played "stick the apple on the tree", and decorated some candles. Last but not least, we oohed-and aahed as Abbie opened her gifts.

Happy 10th Birthday, Abbie!

Love,

The Marshalls :)

Encore! Encore!

After our thrilling performance, many of our audience walked throught the double doors into Gallery 194 to peartake in the Encore reception. Many of the local restaurants had donated delicious food, and those dishes were supplamented with homemade goodies from some of the orchestra families.

Evvie, Mr. Mitchell and Mrs. Wagner and Lindy, played some lovely background music as the guests milled around, ate and chatted.
