Abby had her first dance recital tonight and WHAT A NATURAL she is!! She was very excited and talked about it nonstop all week. She was telling us about the blue curtains and that they had to stand still on the stage and SMILE!!
Here are her 3 dances and then a few shots after the performance with her flowers and friends. ENJOY!

Abby's dress rehearsal for her first dance recital!

Sorry it's been so long! So many of our followers are on Facebook too, that I've gotten lazy with posting! So forgive the bombarding of photos and videos of the past few months! Enjoy!!

We've had about 12in. of snow in the last week or so- this is how we spent our afternoon today. Jared and I had the best time and we hope the kids did too!

Luke showing off his skill of talking!!!

Abby's birthday- her new scooter!!

All dressed up for The Nutcracker with Mommy!

 

This morning was Abby's Christmas program at school. We really had no idea what to expect out of a class of 3 year olds, but it was absolutely precious!! They sang 5 songs ( but the camera woman only got 4 of the 5...sorry)- Twinkle, Twinkle, Jingle Bells, Away in the Manger, We Wish You A Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to Jesus!

Jingle Bells

Happy Birthday

Away in the Manger

Twinkle, Twinkle

For those of you that we will see over the holidays I'm sure you could have a command performance! :)

Breakfast with Santa. Abby had fun and sat on Santa's lap, chummed it up and Luke, well, not so good again! Poor guy!
Here's the series of shots...

We are preparing for the holidays here! We got our Christmas tree and wreath yesterday along with going to the annual Luminaria Festival.

Abby at her classroom's Thanksgiving Feast- chicken nuggets, tater tots, rolls, muffins and I made pumpkin pie! That's the way 3yr olds do it!

Here are a few from our pumpkin carving night ( better late than never, huh?)!

Fall is here and we're playing in the leaves!!

We spent the afternoon at the town's Fall Festival. The kids had fun doing a scavenger hunt, face painting, tattoos, and most of all taking a hayride to pick out pumpkins!
