A piano!

With Aaron starting piano lessons, and April playing her broken keyboard more and more it was time to look at piano options.  We went back and forth between a real piano and a digital piano several times.  Looking at cost options ranging from free (for a real, but old piano from Hubby's parents) to a digital, to an expensive real piano (newish, and not free) we had a hard time deciding how much to spend, and how much space we need to use with each option. 

About a month before piano lessons were to start Hubby started researching all things piano.  I'm so glad he likes to do that because I didn't have the time to.  But, I love that he knew all the best options, and was thankful for all his information.  He took the 2 older kids to several different piano stores both with real pianos and a lot of digital piano options to see what they liked.  After a lot of talking and back and forth saying "okay, lets get a real one, no lets go with the digital, no lets get the one from your parents (but it needs tuning and its' big!)" we finally decided on a Yamaha Digital piano for now. 

It was exciting to open up.

 We got the pedal bar unit so we could have the nicer pedals.

It's Kinda funny that a piano that sounds so cool can come out of a box.

 Lots of little pieces to put together!

 Ta da! a full size digital piano!

It plays great, and the sounds of piano fill our house. I love it, and the kids love it too.  It fits very nicely in this one little spot too.  Maybe someday we'll get a real one, but for now this works for us.
