Christmas 2012!

We had a great Christmas this year!! I was SO into Santa and everything Christmas-related :) Santa gave me the three things I asked for (a charm bracelet, a Jasmine costume, and a KooKoo bird).

We celebrated with mommy's side of the family with a great Christmas Eve celebration in Boulder....

And then spent Christmas Day at Nana and Papa's house with daddy's side of the family.

Do you like the Christmas outfits that Nana and Papa got us?

It truly was a wonderful Christmas. The best part was celebrating it with this guy!

Christmas Recital

With my dance recital jitters now behind me, I was all ready to go for my Christmas performance at school this year. My first year's recital was a disaster...last year was much better...and this year, I would have to say I was the star of my class. I was dead center, ALL about the singing and hand movements, and enjoyed every second of applause from the very full room of parents.

Family!

Dancing Queen

I've been in ballet classes all fall and recently had my first ballet recital. I was a little bit nervous at the start, but soon warmed up and enjoyed the performance. By the time we left, I was already begging for when the next recital is!

Meet and Greet

I've been a bad cousin by neglecting to introduce you to the two new additions to our family! Please join me in welcoming Izzy Mae (born to Aunt Lisa) and Henry (born to Aunt Maggie)! We've gotten plenty of love and snuggle time with both of them, and the pictures to prove it! I can't wait to spend years and years loving on my new cousins!!

Disney Day 5: Animal Kingdom

We had a great time on our last day at Disney, visiting the Animal Kingdom. Highlights included the safari, Lion King show, Tree of Life, petting a snake, and tons of walking. This was our longest day at a park and I did AMAZINGLY. No meltdowns? On the last day of the trip? Success!

Disney Day 4: Birthday Time

Its never too late to celebrate a birthday, Lukie, so we celebrated yours at Disney!

Disney Day 4: Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios highlights? Little Mermaid show, Playhouse Disney Show, Beauty and the Best live show, Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area, and lots of walking and character sightings! Luke, of course, had to nap in the stroller as I was enjoying my day!
