Dancing Princess

After 6 weeks of dance class, Jenna was ready to show off what she had learned. Her group did 1 tap dance, and 1 ballet type dance.  She's the one in purple on the left.  She's still singing & dancing for us!  In other Jenna news she also moved up a level in gymnastics!  She's was a monkey (age 3-4), but is now a tiger (ages 5-6) - yay Jenna!

Practice

Mikey - 10 months

Mikey turned 10 months old this week (where does the time go?) so to help him celebrate we gave him an oppurtunity to practice for his 1st birthday.....with a mini cupcake.  Based on how he ended up, I think he'll be all ready to go when his birthday rolls around!



hmm...what's this?



it's squishy...



tastes pretty good too!



yum, yum - can I have more?



A visit with Santa

We took the kids to see Santa last week....Andrew and Jenna were super excited and planned out exactly what they would be asking for and how they were supposed to behave in order to ensure Santa would not only hear their request, but bring it to them for Christmas.
Mikey fell asleep on the drive over to Santa, so Andrew & Jenna went up talked Santa and got their picture taken (aren't they cute!).

While the kids were hanging out with friends that were there, getting tattoo's, and eating cookies Mikey woke up.  After a bit, we thought we'd attempt a picture of all three kids....let's just say Mikey was NOT impressed with Santa.

(pure terror)

(can you hear him screaming?)

The saving grace is that he's too young to remember this, so hopefully we won't have to pay for therapy when he's older (hehehe).  Yep, we managed to get the classic kid with Santa pictures (thanks Mikey!).  Mikey kept an eye on Santa for the rest of the time we where there...you never know when he might come over & attempt to talk to you :-)
