Meyers's Fall Semester Ballet Recital

Meyers is taking ballet only this year. The beginning of December, she had her "informal" ballet recital. It was short and sweet, and the teacher guided them through what they have learned so far this semester.

We almost forgot flowers for our little ballerina! John dropped us off and then ran to Kroger:)

Meyers asked for a broom, a dustpan, and a stroller. She was happy with her stroller:)

Emery liked hers, too.

We had lunch with John's family and got NO pictures, and dinner at my parents'.

Meyers loved her Minnie pillow pet!

I wish this picture showed how excited Emery was. She screamed out "Doc!!!" and went around the room showing it to everybody:)

Even though the month of December and Christmas went by so fast, we had a wonderful day celebrating!

December Pictures

I know I'm not the only one who December was overwhelming for. Between Thanksgiving being so late, some wintry weather, and two girls with colds, we didn't do a lot of the things I wanted to do for Christmas. I quickly got over it, though, reminding myself that this is a season of life. Maybe we will get all the things done during Christmas next year - maybe not:)


So Jessica - this is why I haven't been blogging - because we haven't done much (she was teasing me for not blogging lately). But here is what we did do:)

First time seeing a movie as a family:)

Frozen was super cute and E loved the popcorn!

Wearing lots of Christmas outfits

making Christmas cookies or for E that meant eating the icing

for M that meant using LOTS of sprinkles

I even had fun decorating too after the fun wore off for them after 10 minutes:)

going to Starry Nights - I think "driving" the car was the highlight for M
