Lily's School Winter Party

The 3rd grade Winter party is always decorating gingerbread houses.  A bunch of us party moms and class moms got together on Tuesday to make all the houses with graham crackers, milk boxes and hot glue.  All the kids had to do was decorate them with lots and lots and lots of candy!!  The amount of candy they brought in was insane!  So fun for a bunch of 8-9 year olds.  Actually, pretty fun for anyone!

Love my little weird-o!!

Nutcracker

For Dani's Christmas dance recital she danced in the "Party Scene" from the Nutcracker.  It was so cute and festive!!!  I loved it. 

I was especially proud of myself for getting all her hair in a ballet bun.

They were so cute!!

After the show, they met Santa!

Father/Daughter Dance

Saturday night was the annual Father/Daughter dance.  Lily looked so beautiful and always looks forward to this night with her Daddy.  This year they went with a huge group and went out to dinner first.  Lily had the best night with Chip and all her friends.

She picked out her dress herself.

All the dads and their girls.

Tim and Avery, Joey and Harper, Chip and Lily, Matt and Abby, PJ and Charly, Jack and Ellis, Ben and Caroline, James and Courtney.

Poor Tim.  He is the only dad under 6' tall in this group.  Even Chip looks short in this group!!

Dani and I went out too with Julie, Ella, Christie, Brendan, Molly and Joe.  We all went out to dinner at Glorias!

Happy Birthday Abby

I can not believe that Abby is 5 years old!!  It seems like just yesterday she was born and I visited her in the hospital.  She had her birthday party at a local gymnastics place and Dani was so happy to celebrate her best friend in the whole world!

Ballerz

The Ballerz had their second basketball game and it was WAY different than the first!  We held the lead all the way until the end and only lost by 2 points.  The girls did so great.  It was such a fun/stressful/exciting game to watch!!

Lily (#4) actually hustles out there!  She is a little baller!
