Family Night In

We have been getting lots of snow since Christmas day. Luckily we had what we needed and no where to go. It also helped that Santa brought this......

So we cuddled and watched a movie. I LOVE winter break!

Christmas Day...Finally

We opened our presents from Santa then headed out to Mom's to celebrate. We had a great Chrismas.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we did our usual thing of going to my Mom's house. We decorated cookies, watched movies, and opened family presents.

Then we came home and set out milk and cookies for Santa. The kids were so excited for Santa to visit. Casey even used her window markers to leave him a note!

Casey's Recital

Right before Christmas Casey had a gymnastics recital. Her theater group also acted out "Twas the Night Before Christmas."

Oz the Musical

Casey had a wonderful opportunity to be in Oz the Musical last night. About a month ago she tried out and got the part. It's actually a traveling theater company that casts local kids as munchkins and flying monkeys. She was so excited! We love watching her on stage and she's getting to be a pretty good little actress. As she was running off stage, she turned and waved good bye to Dorothy!

Here she is with Orlando Brown. He was the Cowardly Lion. You might remember him from "That's So Raven." I was so excited to meet him!

Here is the swing group!

After the show she got everyone's autograph.

The dancers...

This is the Wicked Witch. Yes, it's a man. He was my favorite. Instead of a broom, he had a vacuum!

This guy was from High School Musical 1-3.

She was in Dannity Kane.

This is Todrick Hall. He's the writer, author, and choreographer.

Festival of Trees

Starkey and I took the kids to the Festival of Trees this year. We went on the first night it was open and we were like the only people there.

Notice that Linus Jr. had to take the blanket on the train!

Happy Halloween!

This Halloween we went to Nicki's house. That neighborhood was nuts! There were kids everywhere and people decorated like crazy. It was like a Halloween movie! I didn't get many pictures because my camera wasn't cooperating.
