Christmas sleepover

We started a new tradition tonight...sibling sleepover out by the Christmas tree. 

Halle's photography

Today all found all these pictures, plus about 30 more, on my camera roll. Looks like someone (Halle) got a hold of my camera and had some fun.

Halle's Christmas dance performance

Today Halle's dance class had a little performance where family was invited to come see the class perform their Christmas dance to "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas." It was very cute and Halle was proud to have Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma Lori there watching her. She is a very good little dancer and shines when she is dancing!

Strong minded sister

Our Halle girl has got a mind of her own! If she decides she wants to wear a certain thing, or do her hair a certain way, or do something by herself, that's the way it has to be! Today I was doing her hair for church and she insisted on wearing these two bows in her hair. In the beginning I tried telling her the bows didn't really match each other but she would have none of it. Of course, she looked cute as always :). 

Letters to Santa

 Halle asked Santa for:
A toy set
Barbie
Princess horse clip clop palace
Yo Gabba Gabba box

Luke asked for:
A real dog (puppy)
Darth Vader helmet
Jake and the Neverland Pirates hide out toy
Thomas treasure train track
Art kit

Polar Express

Over Thanksgiving weekend we went on a trip to the Polar Express! We drove five hours there and then boarded the train. Then we drank hot chocolate, ate cookies, they read us the Polar Express, and then we got to the North Pole! We drove past the lights and then Santa got on board and passed out bells to all the kids on the train. On the way back we sang Christmas carols. The kids loved it! It was very fun.

Best preschool helper

This was Halle's mid year preschool evaluation. She is so smart and doing so well in preschool! I thought what her teacher said here was funny and cute. It's so true- Halle is a very good helper!
