Christmas Program on Wintry Day

 This morning was the kids Church Christmas program.  Amelia enjoyed picking out her dress this year.  She is getting to be so big.




 Walking in carrying bells...
 The kids sang 2 songs and had several pre-recorded sessions they had done earlier.  Samuel was a sheep and a camel, Amelia was an angel.



 This afternoon we enjoyed a big snowstorm!!!  The kids had a blast building things outside.
We are grateful we have no where to go tonight.



Holidazzle Fun

 It what has become a yearly tradition (2nd annual) we headed downtown (by train) to see the Macy's holiday display, visit santa, enjoy dinner, and watch the holidazzle light parade.

 Waiting in line.....





 Telling Santa what they wanted.... to not be on the naughty list.
We were so proud that Samuel was not scarred this year.  He will be ready for Disney characters now!





 After dropping off our letters to santa, we walked to a favorite restaurant... Old Spaghetti Factory. 

 Waiting for the parade to start.




A good time was had by all!

Thanksgiving

 We have much to be thankful for this year... we celebrated in Rochester with David's family (we missed you Kim and Kevin!)
 A group shot with my new camera
 David's grandma is 101. We were glad she came out.

 Pumpkin pies and games

Bear Pride...Polite

 Last week, Amelia was chosen to win a award at school for being Polite.  We got to surprise her and see this presented.  The Washburn bear handed out the awards.

 Samuel was a bit scared of the bear.


Amelia and the bear... we are so proud of you.  You are doing great at school!

Ballet Recital

 Amelia has again enjoyed being part of a ballet group run by my friend called Bible and Ballet. It meets at our church and is a special time of learning dance steps to Christian music. Amelia has made some fun friends.  This is the fall recital.
 Getting ready to go.

 The Mayim dance... a folk song


 Amelia's class


Her favorite fan.
I'm trying my new camera and trying to figure out all the settings.
