In late September, I found out that Kristoff could play the Lute. Once I had that knowledge, I made it my mission to convince him to play for me. After several weeks, he finally broke down and agreed.
It was unbelievable! I couldn't believe my ears. I had expected a nice, amateur sound to come out of Kristoff's instrument. Instead, a beautiful, heartfelt melody flew from his fingers. Simple, but rich in tone.
When he finished, I clapped, then looked him dead in the eyes. "That was fantastic."
"Thank you," Kristoff said seriously.
I opened my mouth, about to say something else when a voice broke into our conversation.
"HEY GUYS!"
It was Olaf.
"Guys, I have to show you this!"
I laughed. "What is it?"
"No," Olaf shouted, "you have to come down here!"
Kristoff and I climbed off of the cabinet and followed the little snowman,
"Look," Olaf whispered, breaking our chain and picking something up off of the ground.
Kristoff and I exchanged a quick glance, then took the paper from him.
"Oh my gosh," I breathed.
"This is you," Kristoff sounded somewhat awestruck.
In our hands was a beautiful portrait of... me.
"Meritre sent it to MyLittleMegara in an email," Olaf explained. "Meritre drew it herself!"
I was stunned speechless. Imagine that somebody enjoyed my blog enough to actually draw a picture of me!
"Well," I said when I finally could, "There's only one way I can think of to really show our thanks." I told the boys my plan, and we got MyLittleMegara to take this picture.
Meritre, thank you so so so so SO MUCH!
