Christmas Activities

Ginger Bread Houses

(Not sure what is up with Zek-o's hair!)

Playing Christmas BINGO
Teague just liked eating the MMs and got really upset if he didn't get another one!

Making Ornaments
Found these on pinterest and thought they were adorable - the only problem is that my kids are getting WAY to big and their hand print weighs *almost to much to put on the tree, bummer.  Tigs turned out super cute and the PERFECT size for the tree!

Dancing to the music on our phones =)



New PJ Pants

Playing with the LOUD musical stuffed animals

Funny Pictures 
I bought these photo props but only the 2 older girls used them.  Tatum told me after she did the "glasses" picture that she really looks good in glasses and should get her a real pair!  Braia - not sure if those are her real "kissing" lips??? Lots of fun!

Ballet, Tap and Hip-Hop Recital

Christmas Dance Recital

It's a Wonderful Life

Adleigh was the Angel (that gets their wings...) and it was super cute!  She was so nervous going out on stage but did really well.  Of course everyone Ooo-ed and Ahhh-ed when the little white angels walked out on stage.  They danced to 'Carol of the Bells' and I loved every minute.

Braia got to be in both performances.  She performed her ballet piece in the first showing and did her tap dance in the 2nd performance.  Only JoJo and I got to see her ballet dance and it was so cute.  She really has talent!  Her tap routine was ADORABLE and so fun to watch!

Tatum had a hip hop number in the 2nd showing.  I was so excited to see her back on stage.  She hasn't done ANY dancing since Beckett died and I think it is really neat to see her back on stage again.  She was SO good and really has a talent for moving.  She definitely didn't like ballet and so far has LOVED hip hop - it just might be her thing!  =)

Of course Jed got called into work the day of their recital.  He was able to take a quick break to come watch the 2nd showing that had all 3 girls in it.  Everyone was starring as he stood in the back because he was in uniform, hehe The girls didn't get to see him before he had to leave to go back to work BUT he was there supporting his girlies!!

Christmas Caroling

We got invited to go caroling with some families in our church.  We went to a Retirement home - which was GREAT because it was inside and we weren't freezing.  My kids LOVE doing this kind of stuff. Teague even got into it and wanted to hold his own sheet music and kept "singing" along with everyone.  Although, he did like running around in the halls just as much.  It was so much fun and glad that we were invited along again this year =)
