Chinese Dancer Avery

This is Avery dressed as a Chinese Dancer for the Nutcracker. She did such a great job! She is getting to be quite the dancer!

Lilly in The Nutcracker

So, Lilly didn't really remember what she was supposed to be doing on that stage, but she had a ball doing it! She stood around on the stage so long that people thought that she was supposed to just be standing there!

Kate, Avery, and Lilly in their Christmas dresses. So pretty!

Lilly loved sitting on Santa's lap! She wouldn't talk to him, but she told me that she wants Santa to bring her a red present. Mmmmkay. When I asked what she wanted to be inside the red present, she said a new baby doll. It has been really fun this year to see her catch on to the whole Christmas thing!

Avery's Birthday

Avery got lots of fun things for her birthday. She loved everything, but the camera has definitely gotten the most use! She loves snapping pictures with it. She even got to take it to her cousin Lauren's wedding later that week. Happy Birthday Avery!! I can't believe that you are already 7!!!

Here's a photo of Avery's b-day cake. Yes, I made it. Aren't you impressed?!? She loved it, and I feel like I redeemed myself from her past disasterous cakes!! :)

Lilly at Ballet Class

Yes, we are still alive. And I just found a really cool feature on my photo editing software... I can blog directly from there! Woohoo! Maybe I'll actually update more! Ha- who am I trying to kid? Anyway... this is a pic I took of Lilly at Ballet with my new cool camera. I thought it was a pretty cool picture and wanted to share!
