the nutcracker

Shailey had another dance recital on Monday night. They danced to music from the Nutcracker. It was very cute. :o) Her group was the candy cane group so everyone tried to dress up their dance outfits to go with that theme. We decided to do pink candy canes since her dance outfit was already pink. The first picture is right before the performance. The second is a picture of Shailey, Avie (on the left, who is in Shailey's class at church), and Dannie (on the right who is Avie's cousin). All the girls did such a great job. And they're so cute!
I included a couple of videos of the performance. You can watch them if you'd like. Sorry it's so shaky. They were taken on our little digital camera so the slightest movement looks like an earthquake! If you look closely you can spot Shailey dancing around. She's usually in the back but she's wearing a bright pink top and a light pink skirt (if you hadn't already notived from the pictures!). Also, in the second video all the girls take turns leaping across the stage so you can see her a little better. Enjoy! :o)

christmas decorations!

I finally finished setting up my Christmas decorations. It's not much, but for our little house it's just enough. :o) I decorated the front porch, too, but I don't have a picture of it yet. I usually do blue and silver ornaments on the tree but decided to do something a little more festive this year. Hope all your decorations are coming along nicely!
