So She Dances

Tally has a Christmas performance early in December. She did 2 dances with her class. "We Are Santa's Elves" and "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas." She did a super job. I was so glad some of her family were able to make it watch her. (And to take pictures while I was busy teaching :) )

We always get together with my mom's side of the family for Thanksgiving dinner.

Always good, always stuffed.

4 and lovin' it!

Tally has a slight obsession with "Gnomeo & Juliet," so it wasn't a big surprise to me when she chose it to be the theme of her 4 year old birthday party.

Can you believe I have a 4 year old?

Halloween: Toy Story Style!

Most families have their children carve the pumpkins..we do not. We tell our dad what we want and he's amazing enough to do it. First he draws the picture himself by hand, then he makes it "pumpkiney" as he likes to call it. Finally, he traces the picture onto the pumpkin and carves it out.
