Today was the last day of the winter group Suzuki lessons so family members were invited to participate. We'll start the spring session in a few weeks. Martin came along and took some pictures - they turned out kind of dark but give a good idea of all the fun things we do each week.
This was a big drum that that the students all play together - it helps teach them forte and piano although they were pretty loud with the forte part this time and Anna got scared.
The eggs in her hand were little shakers - every session they play an up-tempo classical song and everybody free dances. She loves to shake her little eggs while I swing her around the room.
This is one of her favorite parts of the class - she really focuses on what the mallets are doing.
During this part each student runs the mallet up and down the xylaphone and everybody else raises and lowers their hands accordingly. Anna kept trying to grab the bars on the xylaphone.
We had cleared our floor and Martin had brought out up the vacuum but Anna found the Sunday paper and in a matter of moments, it was everywhere. 
This is Anna's new "smile." What a goof!
I think Martin liked the car too - he took Anna on a few laps around the house. Butkus thought it was fun but Meiko hid on top of our bed.
Let's ride!!!!
