November 2017

This year, we did something new with the Dance Team.  We did a Dancegiving.  It was really sweet and meant a lot to the girls.  More than I anticipated.  I wanted there to be something meaningful, so I created little packets with 28 cards for each girl, with all the other girls names on them.  Each girl write a note for EACH dancer & director.  It took like a whole hour, but was totally worth it.







We were also quite lucky to have Gam and Pa visit for Thanksgiving.  Always so much fun to have them!  Any time we get with them is a treat.  This face swap activity was HILARIOUS!











I redid my wall in the living room, my biggest collage wall so far.


OH MY, Jordyn got her Driver's Permit!


KiKi!  She is 4 months old here.

For Lexi's 14th Bday, we invited Nadia, Phoebe and Tori out to eat Teppanyaki, and frozen yogurt, and do Color Me Mine.  It was quite a fun night!  Lex did NOT want me to take any pics because this is when she was on steroids and at her most swollen, poor kid.  It was a fun night still!



For Grandpa's bday, we had a little dinner at our house and Peyton wrote a song for him.  So sweet!



So, Lexi had been saving money for her first cell phone, and didn't QUITE have enough for the one she wanted by her 14th bday. My friend Peter switched from iPhone to android and gave me his iPhone 6.  So this was Lexi's first cell phone, and I had her take a pic with this note for Peter. Again, she HATED pics during this time!


Still love my job!  This was a Senior student, Brooklyn.


So sweet, Jordyn is such a good dance teacher for the little ones.


Peyton LOVES to bake, and somehow got Kristy to bake with her!  These two are two peas in a pod.





Elite Team Dance Competition Schedule!  Missing Amber and Caitlin from this photo.


Mom made her yummy Thanksgiving dinner!  I hadn't had it for a few years, so it was nostalgic to have it again.


SUCH a CLASSIC picture of my dad with a towel on his shoulder.
