Christmas Cookies

Normally I do a ton of baking for Christmas.  Time just didn't allow this year.  We did manage to get a  good Sugar Cookie session.  Livee and Aleena really took over which was fine by me.  I got the dough made and they took over the cutting out and rolling.  It worked great.  We took the extra plain cookies and put them in the freezer.  The kids would pull out a cookie, frost it and have one every day for the whole Christmas Break.

Jase Gym Performance

This is Jase's Gym group.  This is their second routine.  Believe it or not, we got a whole video.  Yahoo!!.  In order to be in that group, you have to be able to do a round off back handspring.  Livee just actually got hers last week.  So she will be moving to this group soon.  She is so excited.  Jase is a little stud in this.  His wrists have been bothering him so he is taping them to see if it helps.  It seems to be.  Good job Jase

Freeze Frame

Last Saturday was a busy day for Aleena and Hallie.  Freeze Frame is an event in Twin Falls.  There are 2 shows.  One in the afternoon which is usually a younger group of dancers with a few older school teams and one in the evening which is mostly older dance teams.  It isn't a competition.  Anyone in the valley can dance at it.  All the proceeds go towards scholarships for the dance studios that participate to use for a dance camp at CSI in the summer.  Aleena and Hallie are on competition teams so Main Motion (our studio name) like to take their competition teams so they can get a good performance practice for an actual competition.  Aleena was in the afternoon show.  They danced 2 numbers.  Hallie was in the evening show and danced 3 numbers.  All my other kids came, plus Tallon (Savanna's boyfriend) and went to Aunt Kaydee's and hung out.  They were originally going to come watch dancers but found it funner at Kaydee's, which is totally fine.  They actually ended up going roller skating which was a fun adventure they don't get to do very often.

I was only able to get pictures of Aleena in her costume.  I help her get all ready.  Hallie doesn't need me back stage anymore :( and so I forgot to snap her picture.  I did a few shots of Hallie's eyes all dolled up.  They had to wear fake eyelashes for this one.  She did not like those things but they did look pretty.

I do love watching my girls dance.  They have so much fun performing.  It was a terrible venue to video so sorry no videos. 

Savanna singing again

Savanna was asked to sing again last week on Friday.  She has been taking voice lessons and I can already here a few changes.  I am so excited for her.  She is currently working on a song in German for Solo/Ensemble.  It is a State Solo.  Which means, if she wins, she gets to compete on a State Level. 

So a heads up with the video.  Between Brad and I- we can not get a full video.  Sheesh.  My card was full before she was able to finish.  Seriously?  And I can't figure out how to turn it right side up so you get some neck stretches at the same time.
