Holiday Season Recap- AM gets knighted

We were so proud that she received this great honor at school, but even more proud after we heard what her teacher said about her...

This is her right after her name was announced.  She was proud of herself I think!!

Can you see C in this picture in the audience?

Christmas Party 2012

The End of the Semester is a busy time with 3 little ones.  That means 3 Christmas Winter Parties to attend.  Luckily, Granny is there too.  Here we are at AC's.  They begin by letting us go to the kid's weekly chapel and here them sing all their songs!!

AC let her teacher do her hair:)

Here is AM all ready for her last day of school before the Break:)  There was a lot of back and forth for Granny, AC and I at the elementary school because AM and C's parties were at the same time.

Here is C's class of reindeers...

They decorated a cookie...

Then over to AM's party for pizza...

Back to C's...I thought he looked pretty cute with his antlers.

Then back to AM's for the cookie decorating and consumption.

Both classes also had a book exchange.  That was utter chaos...I really should have been in charge to keep it organized.  Actually, I think my sister would have done it bests.  I think she missed her calling as a pre-school or Kindergarten teacher!

AC's dance recital:)

Last weekend was AC's first dance recital... AM also got dressed up for the occasion!

 B made sure we got there SUPER early...made for a good time for pictures:)

Here we begin the dance... :)

And then we get a little distracted... She is so cute!!

 Here is a good pic of Daddy's beard!!

 We are able to talk C in to going by promising him a cookie after!!

Thanksgiving 2012

On Thanksgiving Day this year, I started the day off with a Turkey Trot with a friend from work.

Then we headed over to Granny and Pops' for a delicious meal...as usual:)

 And some building:)

 Aunt Net and Uncle B-rad were there as well.

 I made the flower arrangement below... I call it Harvest Delight.

Nothing says Thanksgiving in TX like pictures by the pool!

AC is in dance now!!

 This is from her first day.  She has really improved since then, but I misplaced my camera.  Her teachers are the same ones AM had last year:)  That is sooo fun!!

 This is a really touch move...especially for a 3 year old!!  Granny usually takes her and says she is very athletic and doing so well:)

C's soccer

AM Soccer

We are giving soccer another go with AM.  IT turns out that there are a few people on my soccer team that all have daughters that are the same age, so we decided to get together and start a soccer team with them:)  She has gotten so much better and more aware.  We have been sooooo proud of her.

She has even scored a goal this year and done some fantastic dribbling:)  She is much more excited about games and practices also.

Here she takes a goal kick and follows the play up the field.  I wish I had a video of her scoring her goal.  Would have melted your heart with all her excitement:)
