Children's Music Academy

After 3 1/2 years, Clara graduated from her music class!!  Her graduation included the kids playing songs together but also solos!  Clara did a fantastic job at Fur Elise!  We are so proud of her!  She loves music so much, she has decided to go on to the master's program for another year!!

Fun Days!

Nora and I had fun at the Wildlife on our Wednesday morning out!  

Of course we had to make a trip over to AG to see the new Doll of the Year, Isabelle!  

Western Day and Star of the Week

Lila has Western Week at school!  Go Cowgirl!!

Nora and Lila were both chosen as Star of the Week and had to make fun posters!  What fun to look at cute pics!!  

My Ballerina

Nora started Jazz/Pom in November.  After the Nutcracker show, she told me she wanted to be in the Nutcracker someday and wanted to start ballet.  So she tried a ballet class at our studio and loved it.  So now she is doing two dance classes and loves it!  Here she is!  My little ballerina!  

AG at the park

Ahh...Colorado!   You can be sledding one week and playing at the park the next!  Less than 12 days after sledding, the girls and I and dolls, went to the park for some fun!   My girls have a very elaborate American Girl Doll game going on at all times.  They have a rule that all three must be around to play and they can pause the game and put the game back into play at any time.  The dolls they own are their "kids" and they are the aunts to each other's dolls.  Brian and I are the grandparents.  The dolls are of all ages (some are old enough to be a teachers and others are in school)  It is always changing and growing and it really is my favorite thing they do.  They can play for HOURS!  I love the creativity and bonding the game displays among my daughters!  

Sledding in January!

Our school has a great sledding hill!  We got a good snow right after the kids headed back to school so after pick up we ran home and grabbed our sledding gear and had a fun afternoon sledding.  The best thing for me happened....all the girls can now go down the hill by themselves AND carry their sled back up!  Wahoo!!!  

Lila went back and forth between this sled and the round saucer.  She is getting so big!!

Happy New Year

Time to get caught up...here goes!!

We spent New Years Eve in!  The Shimnioks and Eggemeyers came over for dinner and tons of fun!  Everyone stayed the night so nobody had to be on the roads!  The kids had a blast (and so did the adults!!)  We made countdown bags for the kids.   We had paper bags with different activities written inside. On the outside, we wrote what time they could open the bag.  The kids loved it and it kept then very busy!  

Making masks was one of the activities!
