Georgia's Dance Class

Miss Georgia started dance and we all know what a sucker I am for any type of dance! So at 0800 we headed up to Woodinville for a 0900 am dance class!

 Aimie and Georgia!

 Look at the cute ballet slippers!

This was a teddy bear dance they are working on. I got teary about half way through the class because Georgia every 10mins would make sure I was watching so I would wave and she would point just her first finger and wiggle it at me it was so precious. Then I sat with Georgia at Starbucks she picked a chocolate doughnut and chocolate milk. 

Thoms Family Birthday

Nana took everyone to Ginos for dinner to celebrate Thom's 37th birthday! I feel old?

The girls are so well behaved at dinner only 6 complaints of how bored they were.

Braces Part II

Lauren now has braces! She has two phases in order to get the full set on! The first three days were the worst for her but day four we were eating oreos. We were unable to get a picture of the hydrolic system that is mounted on the last molars that keeps her jaw forward at all times. Great fun! Hollies braces are all paid off but she has a couple more months before they come off! I can not wait! 

Christmas - Nanas

Every year we have Chirstmas dinner together with the whole family. Everyone in the kitchen working together to get dinner ready.

 As they were preparing dinner we had 3 knife injuries and 1 sliced finger on a can of olives.

Christmas - Our House

 Santa Clause arrived in the middle of the night while all the girls were sleeping!

 Thom opening his gift from the girls, this is the first year they spent thier own money. They went in together on the cost and purchased a new video game.

 My girls Christmas morning they woke up at 0800 to open presents, after a late night at Aunt Melissas for Christmas eve dinner and then Church.

 Lauren with her new iPhone, she also got books, jewelry, clothes, cell phone accessories, itunes g.c., cash, makeup

Hollie and her new iPhone, she aslo got books (favorite was how to draw Manga from Aimie), jewelery, clothes, makeup, itunes card, cash

 Ohh don't I look great? Best pic I could find, girls got me Gucci perfume that was really nice.

After all the gifts were open we started making breakfast for the family. Dad, Patrick, and Chris + kids came over for the morning. The kids got new sheets for their new beds and four gift cards each to iTunes. It was a nice visit.



Christmas 2010 - Pre

 The best part of living in a small community is that the police and fire department goes around all the neighborhoods handing out candy canes and presents to the kids. I made the girls go out say hi and give them the departments their gifts from us. This year I had my camera handy and got a picture with the policeman dressed as Santa.

One of the pictures for the xmas card, we took pictures in front of our tree and Nanas tree. 

Girls Winter concert

The girls performed in their winter concerts. Lauren pictured above played the flute. She said that her class had not been practicing the piece they performed and that we would notice the horns. She was right it was not the best performance but will make a great memory for her. Now for life lesson # ? When will I learn to make the girls try on uniforms, athletic shoes, etc a week before the event? The night of Lauren's performance we were driving around trying to find a tuxedo shirt that fit, all tuxedo shops in federal way have gone out of business this was not an easy find.

Hollies performance was fantastic as usual, she played the trumpet. The Fife H.S. band puts on a great winter concert. Hollie looked beautiful. 

Nana's Birthday

Nana celebrated her 58th birthday, in between a very busy flight schedule for her work!
