Holiday Happenings

Why is it that I can't, for the life of me, remember how to create a blog button from year to year?  Thought I was going to pull out my hair when I tried to follow a tutorial that wasn't workin' for me :/ 

But . . .
Here we are, y'all!
 Countdown to Christmas!

One activity, outing, or craft a day for the days leading up to Christmas.



If you'd like to link up your happenings, we will be doing so on Friday!  You'll definitely want to be here to get some ideas for your own littles.

Our Countdown is in full swing!  We have dear friends coming to help us craft and bake today {YAY!}

And we kept very busy over the weekend.

The girls had their first performance of the season.

Warning:  Cuteness Overload!





Have a blessed week! 

 

 

 

Spring Fling

Saturday afternoon was our annual Spring Fling dance performance, and it was such fun to watch Sierra and Makenna on "stage".

It was a beautiful day for it, too.  Warm temps, and even a little sunshine peeking through.

Sierra loves her Jazz 3 class.  She started with Jazz, and it's always been her thing. 

Kenners, on the other hand, has tried it all: Tap, Ballet, Jazz, and is now in Hip Hop.
I think she likes Hip Hop ;)

And Kam was just happy to finally get ahold of some Cotton Candy ;)

She'd been asking for some all day!

Dancing Queen{s}

Saturday night was the girls Christmas Dance Recital.  They look so forward to all of their performances, and I do too!  I don't know if it's because I spent so many years dancing {and coaching and teaching}, or if it's just because I'm a mama, but I get teary at all of their performances. 

This year was a little difficult because most of us weren't feeling all that great, and Kam was feeling downright awful.  But she insisted on going to watch her sissies.  Thank goodness for my mother-in-law.  She offered to take the older two so they could be there early, and so that I could stay at home with Kam {and Taylor} as long as possible. 

Luckily they got right down to business, and I think the entire show was only about an hour long.

And the girls . . . .



they looked AWESOME!  I knew they would.

Sierra and Makenna had a dance performance on Saturday at the annual Spring Fling. Most years the weather is gorgeous. One year? 92 degrees. This year? I don't know . . . 50? So we got our glitz on, bundled up, and headed over. And they did such a fantastic job!

I love this shot because Kam is always looking to her big sissies. She wants to do everything they do. I'm pretty sure we may have another one in dance soon ;)

We had a bit of a wait before it was the girls' turn to dance. So Gramps provided the perfect seating.

First Kenners' class . . .

Then Sierra's.

Then we took off because we were freezing to death ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So . . . the laptop officially died {and I may have almost cried} :( And the desktop is barely holding on {and runs at the speed of a snail. Seriously, this one post took me FOREVER}, so I may not be around much. Just thought I'd mention it lest you all think I went into early labor ;)

Speaking of? We may just be closer to a name for this little girl. Whew!
