Christmas Programs and Parties

We decided to take the girls to a local theater her in town for a Christmas show. They had a little lunch before and Julia was even brave enough to sit by Santa by the end!

Nope, don't take my photo.

Yea! A photo with Santa!

Natalie's Christmas party at school. Here they are racing to put together cards that have been turned into puzzles.

Playing the bell game! Yep, Natalie is super excited.

And here they are doing a Christmas tree dance.

 Here the girls are helping me make saltine toffee. It is so yummy!

Kendra, Julia's Godmom, stopped by to exchange gifts with us.

 

Minnie Mouse jammies! Yea!

And Minnie Mouse bedding!

Yep, we had to try it out!

Natalie was one happy girl holding that new baby!

And without further adieu, here is the dance! 

And some stills, just for fun.

I am not sure why Natalie decided to stop when the music did, but it was pretty funny!

We are so proud of her!!

After the performance, we headed over to the Jog 4 A Paws craft show. They always have a fabulous face painter!

Julia sitting so still.

Natalie's turn!

Later that day Natalie had her last cheer leading game of the season. She got a medal and she was so excited!

This year we decided to take a party bus to look at some local lights. It was so much fun and as Natalie said, "This is the best party I have EVER been to!!"

 

Everyone at the end of the night!
