Back to Ballet

 

At Katelyn's request, we got her back in ballet classes. 

Her face says it all...she is super excited to dance again!

Zachary loves watching the pretty ballerinas. He claps and cheers after every move.

Clap, clap, clap...Yay!

Clap, clap, clap...Yaaaaay!!

In the middle of tap I asked Kate why she was dancing so strangely.

She whispered to me, "Mom, the blue one hurts a little!"

The girl in pink is our neighbor.

Hooray for Ballet!!

Easy Bakin'

 Kate received an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas this year. As a little girl, I always wanted one of those! Today we used it to bake a tiny yellow cake. It's really no bigger than a good-sized cookie.

Littleman was a great taste-tester!

Thanks for baking with me, guys!

New Years Eve...Boating!

 Our friends Mike and Jennifer were awesome and took us out to sea on New Years' Eve. It was a blast to see our favorite cities and beaches from the other side. Mike made the most aesthetically pleasing, delicious sub sandwich of our lives, and a pod of dolphins swam by while my sister used the boat's teeny toilet (not really). We learned that seals smell disgusting up close, and I went to my first gas station for boats. We saw a yacht with a helicopter in the harbor (If I ever wanted to feel more important, I would buy myself one of those).

 

My sister, looking for marine life.

 

These guys were just chillin'. (But don't stand downwind)

I think this was Laguna?

The houses were all interesting and beautiful. This one (in the front) used to be the most expensive home in America. If I ever wanted to feel more important I would buy this house to go along with my huge yacht and heilcopter. ; )

Thanks for the fun ride!

Happy New Year!!

Sparkling Cider

A quick chill in the freezer?

Great idea!!

Forgetting it overnight?

Not so great.

Tonight I was cleaning out the game closet and I found a random bag of acupuncture needles!

Anyone want to come play!!?
