Plus a little more

..so the birthday week also included a fabulous private concert from our very own piper

And a few rec games for the grandmas and grandpas to see.  I've never had much luck taking action shots but Grandpa Mitchell got some good ones!  Here's Rachel going after the ball, and then throwing it in from the sidelines.

 Then, Ella's power serve (she is tiny so everyone is surprised when she nails it over the net); and her going in for a bump, she is really learning to be aggressive and go after the ball!
