So this is overdue, however I made a promise to post video of her recital and now that Christmas is over I have found some renewed energy in blogging so these next few posts will catch you up on what has been happening at our home. I hope that you enjoy.
She was so cute in her costume here is a full shot. I just couldn't get her to look at me though at this point.
Here is her first number. Half way through It gets closer. She gets a few of the dance moves in there.
Here she is waiting to go on stage for her Polar Express number. She insisted I took one with her friend. And well she has just the cutest smile in this one.
Here she literally stole the show. Let's just say there were no little elves helping during her dance class when she was learning to do this dance she seemed to forget about it. But hey, she is cute.
Here is the finale. Yay she did at least half the number till she realized she didn't have her partner close by to spin in circles with.
As you saw Santa came at the end of the recital. Here are a few pictures with Santa. She was so excited to sit on Santa's lap this year.
He did surprisingly well on Santa's lap. I think he was trying to figure out how he was going to eat that candy cane before mommy and daddy took it away from him. :0)
I love her little features.
Going for a more posed shot.
He had fun looking at the fish swim by.
Now this picture has a great story. I am pretty sure that it was definitely funnier in person. She got to sit on the rock right next to the stingray petting station. While she was sitting there she would put her hand in no problem hoping to pet a stingray. That is until the stingray got too close (for her comfort). This picture was taken 2 seconds before she jumped off the rock and refused to look at any fish from that moment on.

We had dinner with my husbands side of the family the Sunday before Christmas. While we were there Grandma planned a little nativity with the grand kids. It was very cute. Our little girl got to be the angel. However I think all the little girls wanted to be Mary because she had the baby.
Our cute niece that got to be Mary. She did a great job.
The next day on Monday we had a family party with my side of the family. The cousins all got to draw each others name. It was fun to have my daughter at an age were she is excited to look for gifts for other people. Here they are opening their gifts from one of their cousins.
This is a cute picture that I could not resist posting of our baby boy.
Christmas Morning pictures. Enjoy!
Daddy gets our little girl to cheer him on while he sleds. You can hear her say, "Go daddy, Go Daddy, Go!"
Snow Angel
Snow fight. Kids against daddies.
He's a little little to enjoy the snow. So he usually stays inside with mommy. However we do have a picture with him in his winter coat.
I took him and his sister for their well checks and both are checked out fine. He weighed in at 22 lbs 13 ounces which is in the 80th %ile. That is totally foreign to me since my daughter was not even 20 lbs on her 1st birthday. He is also 30 inches long which is in the 91st %ile.
