Christmas part 3 - a challenge

Every couple of years we challenge our children to help one of them 'find' their gift by solving 'clues'. They are not easy, one clue even required some googling'. Randy was the chosen victim this year. First he had to play a song on the piano that lead them to the next clue. In this photo Michelyn and Nicole are intently listening-Mark, not in photo named the song "O Christmas Tree."

Another clue included the words don't 'fret', 'strung' out, and 'pick' which led them to our guitar stored in the bedroom closet that had the final clue inside it. This is fun for all of them as they love a challenge and we enjoy watching them work together to solve the clues. Everyone of them racked their brains and each had valuable contributions towards finding the answers.

They found it after solving 6 clues that led from the Christmas Tree to the refrigerator, Ipod, back to the piano, etc.

A new Didgeridoo for Randy!
I bought this, one of a kind, didgeridoo at the fall Chowder Festival at the pier in San Clemente. Later, Randy had put it on his Christmas list...Mom's intuition.. maybe.

Here he is playing it-and he can play it with 'circular breathing' - google it.
