Happy New Years Eve....

As 2018 comes to a close, I only wish I could post ALL of my favorite photos.  But I cannot.  They only allow me so many, you know?  Instead, I will tell you that Giselle rocked it out playing soccer and cheering.  I learned that a big screen T.V. can in fact be magically moved from one place to another.  And Betty Jean is smiling from above as she watched on that day and I'm sure she was tickled pink saying..."MAN IN HOW."  Giselle is wrapping up 2nd grade and Isabella is in fact finishing 4th grade.  We ALL LOVE POOL TIME....even Baxie.  While I don't like whiskey, I do enjoy LIVE MUSIC.  FIRST girls trip this year and many more to come, thanks to MOM and setting standards for now and forever.  Happy New Year to you ALL.  May 2019 be MAGICAL, BRIGHT, HEALTHLY, LOVING, and FULL OF MEMORIES!!!  XOXOXOXO

December was a MAGICAL month

While we didn't have a white Christmas this year, it was a magical month for the girls.  They went to go and see Santa and tell him about all the things they wanted for Christmas.  We went to go and see "The Grinch That Stole Christmas" at a theatre downtown.  Bob baked five different kinds of cookies with the girls.  Isabella was in The Nutcracker musical at school as a candy cane.  Isabella lost a tooth on Christmas Eve and the tooth fairy payed her a visit.  We got to get together with family and enjoy yummy food and great company.  The elf on the shelf moved around the house magically for the entire month of December.  And Baxie got lots of new chew toys at Christmas too.  Until next year.

Do you see the MAGIC in this photo?

A big kid at heart!

The Nutcracker Musical

The other day, we had the pleasure of visiting Isabella's school to see her perform in the 4th grade Nutcracker, a musical based on Tchaikovsky's Ballet.  There were 7 scenes that included:  "Midnight In the House", "The Kingdom of Sweets", "Russian Trepak", "Dance of the Candy Cane Flutes", "Desert Midnight", "The Chinese Tea Party", and "The Flowers Waltz".

Isabella played the part of a Dancing Candy Cane Flute - and what a cute little candy cane she was!  I also enjoyed the Chinese Tea Party and The Flowers Waltz! Grandma and Grandpa were also able to join us for the musical and that made it super special for Isabella.  After wards, she got a super big smile because Grandpa gave her a peppermint - a peppermint for a candy cane....heee heeee!  What a great musical to put you in the Christmas spirit!
