Gymnastics

Our little gymnast is moving up in the world. She has moved up to the turbo tumblers!!! That is a class for the 5-6 year olds. Monday was her first class with her new teacher and new friends. It was fun to watch her perform so well and I was thrilled when her teacher came and found me after class and told me how well she had done. Olympics here we come!!!

Christmas!!!!

This year Christmas seems to have flown by. I feel like I never even got to enjoy the Christmas season this year. It was one thing right after the other. But in the end we had a good Christmas. This year our friend Mary spent Christmas with us. She and the girls made these really cute reindeer that held reindeer food. It was funny to watch how the girls opened their gifts this year. Piper would slowly open them one by one and say something nice about each gift while Charleigh tore thru them. I can only guess that because Charleigh is such a pro at it. Needless to say it took forever for Piper to open her gifts. But it was nice to know that she loved everything she got.

 Dennis made these. Didn't he do a wonderful job!!!!  Please ignore the messy table. Apparently nobody told Dennis you don't take those kinds of pictures when people can see the mess.

 So we got snow on Christmas night and the following day. This is a picture on the 3rd day after the winds came. Needless to say we didn't go anywhere for a few days.

Charleigh's project.

This year Charleigh has had a few projects that she has done for school. I have been irritated because the teacher has yet to give us grades for any of them. Anyway this project is supposed to be an ornament about an American person but low and behold Charleigh brought home a book about Marie Antoinette. Really?! Anyway so this is the ornament she made to go with her book report.

Marie really liked horses so that is why we have a girl riding a horse. 

My 4 year old beauty!!

She is just soooo sassy!

Birthday time!!

I really can not believe that Piper is 4 years old. She has grown into such a beautiful girl. This year Piper has been busy trying to learn her numbers, alphabet, shapes, colors, and her favorite thing of all gymnastics. She is so super good at all those things. For her birthday this year she wanted a spongebob barbie party. It was kind of interesting. We had two different parties because it is very overwhelming to have 5 or 6 4 year olds running around. One of the things we did for the kids party is decorate frames and then take pictures of the kids in barbie and ken cut outs. It was lot of fun. I think we had more fun with it then the kids did.
