Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone had a fun festive
Holiday!

Nutcracker 2009

The annual nutcracker performance. The girls did a great job as usual. This year Madison was in the Children's march and was also a soldier, Emma was the cutest Spice on stage. The dancing was fun but I think the part the girls liked the best was playing Little Sally Walker in the dance room while they were waiting for their turn to dance. It was lots of practices and a few late night performances but it is a fun holiday tradition that will last for a few more years. I had to add this picture of C.J. he sat and watched Wall-E on Tom's Ipod during most of the performance, but at least he was entertained.

Christmas Tree Lane

The girls danced at Christmas Tree Lane last week. Sorry there isn't a picture of Emma, she made me stand on the side of the stage during her dance, and Tom was video taping then after she was finished she would not allow her picture to be taken. Once Emma was on stage she did an awesome job dancing, I am not sure what was going on. Anyways, Madison did a great job dancing, they are both so much fun to watch. Now we will prepare for the Nutcraker.

All Aboard

The night before Thanksgiving we went to Heber City and rode on the Polar Express. It was such a fun and magical time for the kids. We ate cookies mande by Mrs. Clause and drank hot chocolate. There were elves on the train that asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas and got to know the kids really well. When we finally made it to the North Pole guess who came on the train for a vist... it was Santa. He came to every seat and talke to each of the kids. We had a great time.

Ho Ho Ho

i can't believe that it is this time of year again, this was actually the saturday before Thanksgiving. The kids were excited to see santa at Hallmark, I was excited to have them tell Santa what they wanted, so there would't be any mofre mind changing. It was an extra suprise to see Mrs. Clause as well...welcome to the most wonderful time of the year!
