Although, this Christmas season has been really busy, full of tons of basketball, we did find time to go to the mall and see Santa! I took the kids out of school for the afternoon and we drove to IF to see the big guy. Brooklyn and Chloe had drawn him a picture and were anxious to see him. Once we got there it was a different story. Chloe (Brooklyn friend) was fine. She climbed up beside him and shyly talked to him. Brooklyn on the other hand, saw one glimpse of Santa town and ran in the opposite direction to hide. I was really surprised at how nervous she was. She would not come near him for anything. So I took Chloe and Sam to sit on his lap. Sam was not real sure of him either but at least he let me take a picture.This is the kids behind Santa's village. It took a lot to get Brooklyn this close. Afterward, we went to lunch and I had the kids pick out an ornament at the Hallmark store. We had a really nice day.

Brooklyn's performance

A couple of weeks ago Brooklyn got to go to Mini Dance Camp. My sister-in-law is the drill team coach and they put on a three day camp for little girls. I was very pleasantly surprised that Brooklyn loved it!! She had so much fun and looked forward to it everyday. Then on the fourth day they got to perform at the half time of the boys basketball game. This is Brooklyn getting ready for the performance. She had just woke up from a nap and was not happy that she had to wear a t-shirt (the dance camp shirt they gave all of the girls to wear). She was set on wearing a leotard.
She got over it and then was very excited to go to the game. This is her striking her rockin robbin pose. She was really funny. The performance was awesome and I loved watching her. She did not even do half of the dance, but it was so fun to watch anyway!

Twisted Christmas Cards

This year instead of mailing you all the usually Christmas cards we made some funny Christmas videos! Merry Christmas and I hope you all enjoy!

Thanksgiving weekend

I definitely need to blog more, but Christmas is just not the time. There is so much to do. I did want to add a cute Christmas photo. These are a couple of pictures I took of the grand kids on my side of the family. We took these over Thanksgiving weekend.
