Dance Pictures

Kinnie's dance class did a cute little Christmas recital.  When dance started back in October I thought it would be wise to take a break from dancing.  Kinnie had danced the last two years and I didn't want her to get sick of it at such a young age.  A few weeks went by and Kinnie overheard her friends talking about dance class and it made her wonder why she wasn't doing dance too.  I had told her about taking a break from dancing and she was fine with it, until she realized all of her friends were having so much fun in dance class.  It is such a low-key dance that I should have just put her in in the first place... and she loves to dance.  Maybe I will get around to posting a video eventually.

Christmas Tree

We had a lot of fun picking out our tree at Bennington Farms!  It was a new experience for us all.  We had no idea how much fun it would be (and hard) to pick out our own tree.  We were taken out to the tree farm by tractor and given our own pole to measure with, and saw to cut it down.  We searched and searched for the perfect tree and finally found one. 

 We decorated the tree for Family Home Evening.  Kinnie and Andrew did such a good job putting up ornaments on the poky tree.  It really did hurt a little!

Maybe that will keep this munchkin out of trouble though!

Thanks for the Visit!

My mom and dad came to visit for almost a whole week!  It was so great to have them here. I was especially grateful that it was over Thanksgiving.  We felt so lucky to get them for the feast since it was their off year with the rest of my family.  We had a lot of fun and some relaxing down time as well.  We took them to the slides downtown, the children's museum, the zoo, the gingerbread display, walked up to the train display, saw the poinsettia tree at the gardens, ventured to Walmart :), and they took us out to eat!  We watched a lot of football and enjoyed leftover pie (and dinner) for a few days.  They got to see a few Sidney milestones as well: her second tooth poked through, she started sitting up like a pro, she found her high-pitched squeal and started saying "dadadada".  Kinnie and Andrew enjoyed every waking moment with them.  Thanks for the visit mom and dad!
