Decorating the tree

Let the decorating begin...

Kayla did the star this year

I've been really bad at keeping up on this, and I apologize. I'm going to start at current date and try to update and back track at the same time- so bare with me, and enjoy :)

Parent's day at dance class

Alyssa LOVES her dance class. She is doing really well too! They had a parents day in Dec. for all of us parents to come watch the kids and see their progress. Here are some shots of Lyss dancing her little heart out for us.

Princess Birthday Party

For Alyssa's 6th birthday she wanted a princess to come. So we started looking. After trying several different options we found one! Aunt Emily's friend Maddy came and was an Awesome princess. We had a ball, a tea party and a craft, then watched a princess movie All at Alyssa's request. She and her friends had a great time, and they all loved that there was a REAL princess at the party. It was a lot of fun and Alyssa's 6th birthday wishes came true :)

Makayla gets braces

It all started with a chipped tooth...a bad enough chip that it needs to be repaired. However, the repair won't work unless we fix her bite. So now she's in braces!!!! Hopefully not for too long, she doesn't seem to mind them too much- she said she prefers them over the eye patch though lol!
