More Christmas Break Fun!

We headed to Denver last night for dinner at Casa Bonita and Zoo Lights at the Denver Zoo! It was great fun with great friends! It may be a new holiday tradition for us:)

A Merry Christmas!

Lot's of fun at Christmas time......
Christmas Eve was spent having a nice dinner at East Moon Hibatchi, dessert and presents at our house!
Christmas Day....Santa visited, more presents! Off to Grandma and Grandpa's house for more presents, Turkey dinner and some Just Dance!
Great Grandma Dorothy and Great Grandpa Wally came for the fun! We love to have them around:)

The girls got everything they wished for!(And more!)

Cookie Baking Day!

We just finished 6 hours of cookie baking! The girls are becoming quite the little bakers....they hardly needed me around:) Can't wait to share it all with the family this week!

Ice Skating in Old Town

The girls and I went Ice Skating with some friends to kick off Christmas Break! It was our first time and despite the many falls we had a really fun time! Can't wait to go again:)

Elf?!?!

Allie thought it would be a great idea to try syrup on her spaghetti last night....She is a big fan of Buddy! She loved it and ate more dinner than she ever does:) We had to break it to her that syrup will not be on the table for every meal!

Ho Ho Ho

The girls finally got to tell the big guy what they hope to get this Christmas! Sure hope he is good to them:)

Caroling and Hot Cocoa

The last day of school before Christmas break the music teacher brings her piano outside, the teachers serve hot cocoa and everyone sings Christmas carols! It is such a cute activity and a great way to get in the holiday spirit!

3rd and 4th Grade Music Program

This was our last holiday program for the season! Kayla was a dancing doll in the Nutcracker part of the 3rd and 4th Grade Music Progam - The North Pole Musical! As always the music teacher, Mrs. D puts on a fabulous show:)

Singing in the Rain~

Allie had her dance recital this past weekend! She did Singing in the Rain for her Musical Theatre class! She did such a beautiful job and never missed a step! She also received Outstanding Dance Student award for her class! We are proud parents!!!

Pride Award!

After Kayla's choir performance at school Friday, she recieved a PRIDE award from her teacher for Respecting Everyone! We are SO proud of her - she is always such a great kid, good friend and amazing student!!!

Choir!

Kayla is in her school Choir this year! They did a great Christmas show and performed it 4 different times! It was really fun to watch and she had a really fun time:)

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

Andy and I went to our first Ugly Christmas Sweater Party to kick of the holiday season! We thought our sweaters were pretty ugly, but we did find out there were even uglier ones out there:)

Christmas Card Picture Day

Oh, the joys of taking Christmas Card pictures! In the past it has never been too hard, but this year was another story! Our busy schedule wasn't allowing enough extra time so we had to get it done when we could! It was a beautiful day, cold, but beautiful! The sun wan't cooperating, Allie wasn't cooperating, but we got it done and it turned out pretty good!

The bloopers......

Kayla proving to me that she is smiling:)


Too cold for Al!

Can always count on a smile when dad is being goofy:)
