Our traditional visit to Santa. We've been seeing this same Santa since Andrew was a few months old. Andrew and Ashley never cried on his lap but, both Hailey and Katie screamed at their visits when they were 14 or 15 months old.
My cuties after Church
And a different week. Poor Katie is so exhausted after church and so she missed this picture and went straight for a nap instead.
Ready for Dance
Loving the Snow!
Ashley won Reflections at the District level! This was such an exciting day! Ashley was one of the 3 winner of her school's Reflections competition about a month ago. Then, her piece went on and was one of the winners at the district level too!. She was so excited and felt so proud of herself
Kate showing off her balancing skills
Ashley was so excited that she was really hamming it up! Here are a few (of many) winners
Hailey's first dance recital. My sweet Hailey showed off her sweet smile and did such a great job dancing. She was darling and it was fun to watch the chaos of so many 3 year old dancers.
They did a tap dance, 2 times through.
Group hug for Ms. Julie
Then they did a ballet dance.
I was so impressed with Hailey during this dance because they were supposed to partner up with whoever was close and hold hands and twirl around, and Hailey (who is often shy), was first shunned by a little girl she didn't know (there were a few classes all dancing together) and she didn't worry about it at all and went to the next closest person and they partnered up. Then, later in the dance when they did it again she partnered up with another cute girl and they had fun twirling together too. It doesn't sound like much but, Hailey is ever growing, gaining confidence and showing us that she is capable of so much.
Hailey is lucky to have so many buddies in our neighborhood her same age, several were born within a few weeks of her. Dance is even more fun with friends in your class. Here are Clara, Hailey, Mary, Stella, Ruby and Laney.
After the ward Christmas Party
Ashley and our Ghetto tree. We have a regular tree and then this beauty. The kids love decorating and redecorating it all month long
