Hallie's Hip Hop

Hallie's Hip Hop Dance.  We had to put her hair in a bun for Ballet and let it down for the rest.  It worked great to curl it first, then a sock bun, and then it came out of the bun really great.  This girl has some hair. 

Aleena's Ballet

Aleena loves her ballet dress.  She feels like a princess. 

 

 

 

Hallie's Ballet

I had to do a major surgery on Hallie's Ballet dress.  It was huge on her.  She really loved her Ballet dance.  It was the first time I saw her in ballet.  She did awesome.

 

 

I found that I can see the video better if I click on the youtube button and watch it in youtube. Not sure how the quality is on your computers.

Livee Rock Star

Livee LOVES to get her hair done, makeup on, and her pretty dress. 

 

Jase Recital

Jase's Gymnastics class. 

His big accomplishments this fall is his Arial and front flip.

He is the second boy that comes out.  He is in the tank top.  He does a funny when he does his front flip off the trampoline.  He just laughs now when he sees it.  He is just so strong.

 

Aleena and Livee Recital

The kids had their big Recital this last weekend.  It is what they have been learning their routines for.  The first half is for gymnastics and the second half is dance.  Some of the routines they already performed but I am going to post every dance.  I know there are 2 grama's out there that will love watching them. 
This is of Aleena and Livee's gymnastics class.  They are really get quite flexible.  Let me try and help you find them since there are so many kids.  Aleena starts on the back row right about the time the first boy starts.  She has a bun in her hair.  Livee is right behind the boy with her hair down in curls. 

Christmas Eve

 

It was just our household for Christmas Eve. Jase and I ran into town in the morning to an appt. I had to grab a couple things at Walmart. I did not realize that the whole valley was going to be there. Note to self for next year. Do not go shopping on Christmas Eve. We then spent the afternoon baking cookies. In the past, I am usually locked away wrapping presents, but I actually had it all done before. It is amazing what those 2 1/2 hours of alone time that preschool gives me. I had Jase take some pictures while we made cookies.  He did pretty good.

This is our Mr. Peepers.  He keeps a special eye on our family during December.

Aleena was my spatula helper.  She scooped the cookies off of the pans onto the cooling rack.

Livee was the sprinkles girl. 

 

For Dinner we just had lots of little snackies.  The kids picked some of their favorites.  Chips and cheese, little smokies, carrots and dip, cheese and crackers, pizza rolls, soda pop with juice.  Pretty much all junk.

 

We opened our traditional Christmas Eve pj's.  Hallie was very unhappy with hers.

They were a one piece zipper up the front.  I thought she would love to snuggle in them, but Savanna was laughing at her and she was too embarrassed to show us.  They were a total bust. Sorry Hal.

I gave up a few years on the matching pj's and the homemade ones.  I don't mind homemade ones if I can find fabric that is cheaper than the boughten ones.  I go for comfort now.  Some years it works out that they are christmas fabric. 

Anyways, after we were all snug in our jammies we read out of the Bible the story of Baby Jesus being born.  I then read a Christmas story that Jase had brought home from school.  We tried to play a few games but nobody really wanted to cooperate so we just hung out and trickled to bed.  They all wanted to go to bed at 8 o'clock but I held them off til about 10. 

 

Livee's preschool had a fun Polar Express Christmas Party.  They drew names a while back for a small gift exchange.  Mrs. Jones had special Polar Express tickets and a bell and they got to wear their pajamas.  They read the book during school.  The parents were able to come for the last 15 minutes and watch them sing their December songs and have a small treat. 

 

 

 

Livee received these cute paintable bears as her gift from Curtis.  She loved them.  Mrs. J gave her some candy cane playdough.  She had Taylin as her name.  I made her a bow and Livee made her a bracelet that matched.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Livee came straight home and wanted to paint her bears.  She just really had a great party.  Love Love Love her school time.
