The Nutcracker Ballet

Over Christmas Auntie Steph and Bree invited us to go with them to see the Nutcracker Ballet at the Fancy T.O. Civic Arts Center. The girls had a ball and it was great cause this year Lexi's ballet class will be dancing to one for the songs from this ballet! We wanted to make the day special so we took the girls out to Claim Jumpers for an early dinner where they both ordered their very own Mac n Cheese ;) I hope these two cuties will always be good friends...after all they do share the same birthday!

Waiting for the show to begin...

...and the girls both had to have a pink glittery nutcracker to remember the show ;)

kooky cookies

We had our own little Christmas night with our good friends the Stoeckles...We had a Christmas family night lesson decorated Christmas cookies, exchanged gifts, and had dessert. Simple but so much fun!

Our Christmas Card

Dear Friends & Family
Some highlights of our busy year...

Joshua just ran in the CA Int’l Marathon this December. He is still working for Cardinal Health and is busy helping out with the family. He is now serving as Elder’s Quorum President at our church.

Lauren had my fifth/last child as planned {before my 30th} and am now training to run in Disney’s ½ Marathon 2011. I still enjoy crafting and am crazy busy with our kids. I am still serving as the Cub Master for my son’s scout pack.

Dalen {8} our 3rd grader was baptized this year and is loving cubscouts. He is busy preparing for another play; Disney’s Musical 'Aladdin' as the Head Guard/Vendor.

Deveon {7} our 2nd grader completed his first year of soccer and loved it! He loves playing games and he and his brother Dalen just ran a 2.6 mile race.

Lexis {5} is loving Kindergarten! She is still dancing and was crowned CA Gold Coast Tiny Talent this September. She loves having a new baby sister.

Noah {3} my baby boy is no longer a baby. He talks up a storm and runs wild with the kids. He is such a sweet and funny little guy!

Lillian Belle {3mos} joined our family in September. She’s starting to sleep longer at night and loves to watch the kids play.

The Kids...

We wish you all a great Christmas and a prosperous 2011
