2011 Boat Parade

We went over to our friend April and Garrick's families house on Lido Isle to watch the boat parade. I haven't done this since I was little....and it was so much fun seeing it through the kids eyes. Here is Stetson on the way there.... ( granted we left at like their bedtime)Lucy took a cat nap on the way there.
Garrick's parents house was decorated AMAZING. Pictures of course never do it justice. She has massive wreaths, Christmas trees, you name it, and ALL fresh, so when you walked in it was the best smell!!!


She had this picture of Santa that was ten feet tall, it was painted for her especially.....


Enjoying snacks before the boat show, Lucy and Kelsey.
Trying on their Santa hats...you know Stetson and hats!



Stealing goodies from the snack table.

Then we went outside in the ....well...probably 65 degree weather at 9pm at night...perfect boat parade weather! Here we all are watching the boats while sitting on the dock.





There was a boat that had Santa on it and he threw out little penguins. Stetson and Lucy both caught them, but Stetson chose to throw his back in the water!!!


A picture of my class!


I know you all know, but I made the big switch from 5th grade to kinder this year. Since I have been catching up on posts I haven't posted anything really about it at all, BUT I LOVE IT! Primary has been so joyful, and I feel like I am daily, even hourly, making a huge impact. It is physically demanding, and not so much mentally, but honestly it was the switch I NEEDED! When you feel stagnant, it is time for a change! Heck I like changing the furniture all the time too! :)Here is my class when Santa came by to visit before break.

Love these kids!

And they love the camera, and to dress up in hats, shoes and glasses!




Lucy's First Dance Recital!

In October we signed Lucy up for dance ( tap and ballet ) lessons. We have been SO pleased with the facility and with what she has been learning. And another perk is that she is in the same class as my best friend from elementary/middle school's daughter. What a fun thing right? Troy gets to take her each week, so I don't get to see my friend ( Lauren Fisher for those of you who have known me long enough ) but Troy gets to see her and our girls have become friends. And recently Lucy and her daughter Hayden were asked to become part of a dance crew, which is stepping it up a little, and they get to perform at different community events, which is way more than their one or two recitals a year. We were thrilled! She starts next week and even has a performance this weekend! Here are ( not so good ) pictures from her Christmas dance recital. All of our cameras were dying or dead, so we used my moms camera...and couldn't figure out the best place or setting to take pictures. We will have many more opportunities though to take pictures now that she has joined the dance crew!
Lucy's little group was pretending to be working on toys while the older girls were performing. They are the ones on the left.

Hayden ( Lauren's daughter ) is on the right.



We were such proud parents!!

Not our Ward Christmas Party...

We went to my in laws ward Christmas party and it was fantastic!!! We didnt up going to ours...but this one was simply perfect! It had a country theme...and the food was like gourmet!!!! Wish we knew it was a country theme so we could have dressed the part...but thats ok! It was hard this night to keep Stetson still!!!





Lucy was perfectly fine standing "next to" Santa! Stetson, he didn't know what to think really!
