School Christmas Program

Yikes!  How has the time sooooo totally escaped?  It's the craziest thing! We had fun at the Christmas program.  They are really perfecting how to keep the pace up so all 7 grades can sing a song or two, plus choir and special singers too....
 
Here is one of Mikayla's groups
 
 
 
 
 
The kids were WIRED UP!!!!  wow.  But they really did a great job and we had a lot of fun.
 
In the picture below....it's Mikayla's friend that we've know since the girls were 5..... the other girl used to be taller than Mikayla..... um..... WOW!

Birthday photo shoot

Oh my gosh, we had so much fun the day we went to all of our favorite places to take Mikayla's 11 year pictures.






 

 
We had our share of silliness and major laughs!!!










 
This marina in particular, she uses the cement barriers as her balance beam, she dances, twirls and jumps her way through!





 
The pictures below....... same place....10 years apart!!!
 
Look at my baby girl!
 
awwww these two do my heart good!

A Visit with Santa

I'm not sure exactly where Mikayla is with this but she says the school kids are MEAN because they say there is no Santa.  She is really looking forward to everything the season brings.  I am a bit behind from the sickies, the parties and the weather...but it'll get done.  I mean really - Christmas is in two weeks!  How did that happen???
 
Well we went and saw him with Katie, Tyler and Hailey (who was NOT happy).... but we had fun!
 
 
She was really talking to him.  She requested something she already has but would like a newer version (a Kindle) AND a cover to go on it LOL
 
 
 
 
 
 
Then it was Tyler's turn.
 
 
 
Then Tyler and Hailey LOL  - Tyler LOVED her getting so worked up!
 
 
 
Here's a look back at Mikayla with Santa.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Time sure goes fast!  I love this girl we've been blessed with!!
