School Christmas party

On Em's last day of school before Christmas vacation, we got to attend her "big chapel" -- the PK students attend along with all the big kids at school. Here she is entering big chapel in the gym. Spotted!

The PK students standing to sing their song about Jesus. Pretty cute stuff.

Afterwards, I stayed to help with her class's Christmas party. A feast for kings! (Donut holes, pretzels, goldfish, chocolate milk.)

These next two are what happened when I asked her and Chance to look at me and say cheese.

Mallie got some princess dress up items in the gift exchange.

Emily shook Princess Mallie's hand and told her how beautiful she was!

May your New Year be sparkly and bright!

Emily's dance party

Before Christmas, Emily's dance class held their holiday party. Abby wore her special ballerina jammies to be sure she fit in. The girls performed their tap routine for us. A buddy of mine videotaped it, so hopefully we can share the video soon. Until then, enjoy the photos of the routine!

Christmas card photo shoot outtakes

These pictures are pretty self-explanatory. We spent basically all day one Saturday taking pictures.

I think this next one was a close second for the card.

I think we picked the right one. What do you think?
