Another Dance Recital!

This past Tuesday Zoey had another dance recital. This time we were able to capture it on video for your viewing pleasure! This performance wasn't quite as good as her first one, but she sure tried. I think she enjoyed the setting a lot more this time because she never turned around like she was supposed to! She decided she wanted to dance the wrong way the whole time! I tried yelling her name to get her to turn around, and she did for a second...and then turned right back around! I'm a little shaky, so sorry for the bad video...but at least you can see a little bit of it! Thank you to all the family that came to watch her! We sure appreciate it! She's such a cutie, and we sure have enjoyed watching what she has learned this year in dance! (Even if she is a little backwards!)

Gingerbread Houses!

Grandma Spencer bought some gingerbread houses for the kids to put together on Sunday night. They all had so much fun decorating them. The kids decided that it would be boys against girls. So Taylor and Zoey had Ben, Mark, and Chris helping them. Luke and Miles had Grandpa and Joann helping them. They both turned great! I would have to say it was a tie! Zoey loved to try and put the frosting on the little gingerbread cookies, she did pretty good! Taylor liked to eat the frosting right out of the tube. Luke decorated and awesome tree, he had so many little treats on it! Miles did a great job helping Grandpa put Christmas lights all over his house! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the fun night!

Ben had as much fun as Taylor and Zoey!

Zoey's Dance Recital!

This last Friday night Zoey had her first dance recital! She did a great job. Despite the rough start at home. I started to get her ready, and she flipped out! She didn't want to wear her costume, and cried for about a half hour. My friend Christy told me to just take her in a sweat suit, and when she saw all her little friends in their costumes, then she would want to put hers on. Sure enough, as soon as we got there and she saw everyone else...she wanted it right on! Then she watched all the other groups dance, and couldn't wait for her turn. I was so nervous that she would get on stage and just cry, but she didn't! She did a great job. We were so proud of her. Even if she did do her own thing most of the time...she still danced her little heart out. She has another performance on Tuesday, and she is already looking forward to it!

Such a cute little thing!

BUNCO Christmas Party!

This year we went to Good Wood for our Bunco Christmas party. Normally we play every last Wednesday of the month, but in December we take a break from playing, and go out to eat! We had so much fun. This group of girls are so much fun! I'm so glad to be a part of the best Bunco group there is! You girls are awesome, and I'm glad to have gotten to know all of you over this last year! Sherice...we missed you!

LeT it SnOw!

Last weekend we got a bunch of snow! Zoey was so excited to see all of the snow...finally! She had so much fun playing in it. Ben made an awesome snowman...it was huge! Zoey said she was scared of it, but after we introduced them, she was fine! We couldn't get her to come inside. We were out until 9:30 at night playing in the snow. We were so glad to finally get some snow! Now it's finally starting to feel like Christmas!

Our Little SnowAngel!

As you can see...the snowman was huge...taller than me!

Ben did a great job building the Snowman!
