Tiny Dancer

Kassie started taking dance this fall and has loved every minute of it. She takes a class one day a week that is a half hour of ballet and a half hour of dance. 2 of her friends are in the same class, so the 3 moms take turns having the girls over to play before dance and then driving them to and from class. It's been great for Kassie's self confidence and she has loved learning all the steps. She had her first recital just before Christmas and it was so fun!

Day of the dress rehearsal with her cute friends we carpool with.

The big night!!

What dance recital would be complete without flowers for the star?

Santa was good to us!

The kids in their Christmas outfits (also what they wore for Aunt Kate's wedding 3 days earlier).

Calm before the storm

The great unveiling! There was a sheet taped to the wall and draped to the floor so they couldn't see what was waiting until after breakfast.

The much-anticipated-Pokemon-video game.

Thomas got a racetrack from Santa. He loves it when he can get it away from his siblings long enough to play with it!

THE picture of Christmas as far as I'm concerned! SO excited to get the Rapunzel doll to add to the set of 7 princess dolls from Grampa Tim.

The best present of all.

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas. Here's to New Year's resolutions.....like keeping up with my blogging!

Love to all,
Ben, Kathy and kids
