Winter Wonderland

We took the kids to the state school to see Christmas lights last week. The both had a great time and really enjoyed going inside on of the buildings to see Santa, eat popcorn and see some Christmas figurines.



Wyatt LOVED this elf and kept calling him "Toonin"

Once Upon a Christmas Eve Ballet

This past Sunday, my mother in law took Maddie, my sister in law Kristi and I to see a ballet put on by the dance studio where Maddie takes ballet. (she can be in the show when she is 5) Maddie LOVED it and it was a great way to enjoy the Christmas season.

Christmas Caroling

Today, Maddie's class went Christmas Caroling at a nursing home in town and I got to tag along. She had only practiced a couple of times but she sang right along like she knew all the words. The residents sure enjoyed seeing 50, 3-5 year olds singing their little hearts out and it was a blessing to see my little girl making someone's day a little brighter.


Dancing along to the music.



listening to the jingle bells....after seeing the "Polar Express"...she always holds jingle bells up to her ears.

What a nice treat!

We came home yesterday to some yummy treats, left for us by our sweet friends the Ellison's. Abbye, makes some of the best sweet treats and we are so thankful to have her and her husband and kiddos to walk through life with.
Thanks Abbye for giving my kids a sugar rush and for being so thoughtful!


Cute little reindeer cupcakes!


Wyatt LOVED the reindeer marshmallow on top.


Maddie ate ALL of her dinner so she could eat the yummy cupcake.


The cutest little guys....

Family Night at Ballet

Maddie had "Family Night" at ballet last week. She was such a show off...and she really showed up how much she has improved. She LOVES to dance and really looks forward to going every week.
