I married into a very talented family

My new family had their annual Christmas Benefit Concert a few weeks before Christmas. It was so much fun being able to watch it all come together, and help out in any way I could. The money that they raised went towards helping a family in need.

I love my new family, they are so awesome in many ways. One of which is their willingness to help people. I love how Michael and his sisters use their talents to reach out and effect peoples lives. They sing at the local jail, as well as addiction centers. Michaels sister Mia has composed many songs that have to do with overcoming addictions and lifestyles, her songs are moving and have the power to change peoples lives.

Here are some pictures from that wonderful evening.

I collect nutcrackers, and so Michael took a picture of me with this giant one

Mia thanking everyone for coming. They did an amazing job!

I can't wait til they perform at another place! Michaels teaching me to control the sound system, so next time I can help out more.

All of my in-laws can sing so well and I'm tone deaf. I think they're embarrassed by me.
