Ballet Debut!

Last Saturday our little ballerina had her first on-stage performance! She danced to Frosty the Snowman and we were so proud of how well she did!!! I had tears in my eyes watching her as it brought back so many wonderful memories I had dancing as a child. So happy she enjoys it as much as I did!

I love how they are all doing something different :)She was SO excited to get flowers at the end. She told Craig "how sweet!"


Way to go Livvy Lou! We love you!!!

Gingerbread Houses

Last week Jacob's class made gingerbread houses in preparation for Christmas. As the homeroom parent, I got the joy is making 25 bags of royal icing. I have to admit it was the first time for me, but it turned out perfect! The kids had a smorgasbord of candy and went to town.....what fun!

Mrs. Shaw reading The Gingerbread Baby before they got started IngredientsBusy at work Job well done!
He wanted to eat the candy sooooo bad!

O Christmas Tree

happy birthday craig

Today is Craig's birthday. In his own words, "It was a great day!" Glad to hear that. We started celebrations last night when we went out with some friends for dinner and drinks. It was a fun night. This morning the kids actually let us sleep in a bit, or should I say, we pretended we didn't hear them rummaging through the pantry and raiding the fridge as we laid in bed a few extra minutes ;) Then we had a nice breakfast and the kids gave him their cards and gifts. The weather today was cold and rainy which made sitting in the recliner and watching football all day even more enjoyable (in his opinion). I made him dinner and afterwards we celebrated with cake. I bought trick candles that keep relighting which the kids got a kick out of! It was quite the hit of the evening and a fun way to end the day.
