Christmas Eve & Day

Few holidays are complete without rolling out and frosting cookies. Aunt Melissa is always in charge of this activity and she comes up with all kinds of fun colors.

Blake put together a movie trivia game for everyone to play. Sammie loved it and had Grandma as her spelling helper.

Papa and his grand-daughters.

This picture accurately portrays these girls' personalities.

Prima Ballerina

Samantha is continuing ballet as her extra-cirricular activity. At the end of this semester, they had a mini-performance to show off their skills.

  Sam is ALL business when she is dancing.

 

She doesn't quite understand the performance is FUN!

 

They also performed a Christmas song for the parents. I am begging her to smile at me!

Her BFF and neighbor Emilynn is in class with her. They have far too much fun together.

The Gingerbread Boy Ran Away....

 Samantha's Kindergarten Class had a fun holiday activity with the gingerbread boy. Her teacher, Ms Danchenka announced that he RAN AWAY!

 

She asked all the kids' family and friends to keep a look out and send a postcard from places that they had seen the gingerbread boy.

 

Whattya know...the Holidays came through for Sammie! No doubt they are all super-competitive...so for whatever reason this was viewed as a competition to see how many postcards each child could receive...huh?! Not that Sam's teacher kept track or even viewed this as a contest...but, IF she had...Sam would have whooped up on her classmates! 31 Postcards!

 

Everywhere from Wyoming, Idaho, Seattle, Disneyland, Grand Canyon, Arizona, Utah, Colorado...

 

 and as far off as Tokyo, Beijing, The Great Wall and Shanghai (thank you Uncle Kent!). 

 

So fun for...Blake...Sam enjoyed as well...but let's face it...this was all for the Holidays. 

 

The postcards were creative and fun. Thank you everyone!
