Avery's Christmas Performance

Miss Avery our little dancer had a Christmas performance this year.  She got to dance on the big stage again with all her friends.  They danced to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and it was super cute!  I really hope she sticks with dancing for the long haul because she smiles so big the entire time she is dancing!

Nutcraker

This year like any other we attended the Nutcracker at the Mesa Arts Center.  This is like the 4th year we have gone and every time is is tons of fun!  We went with my mom, Marmmett and Toni.  This year Avery, my little ballerina, was just enthralled.  She stared at the dancers, clapped her hands off and remembered all the character's names.  Alexis got a little restless as she is my sporty girl with more energy, but they both enjoyed it.  Then of course we finished it up with some Olive Garden!  I went every year with my mom and loved the tradition, so I'm sure we will continue to attend every year with my girlies making Christmas memories!








Prescott Christmas


The first weekend of December we went to Prescott just for a visit and to do some Christmas festivities.  Well, as usual, when I decide to go back home, it becomes a frigid blizzard!  The kids had fun playing in the snow though, and it was beautiful, but I really hate being cold!!  Downtown Prescott has a lot of Christmas activities, but the cold and snow deterred us from most of those!  We did make it to see the square after they had lit it up though.  It really is beautiful.  Alexis and I went with Stephanie, Trista and Jackie.  The girls loved the lights and the icy sidewalks that became makeshift skating rinks!  Avery spent most of the weekend at my brother Matt's house playing with Kodie and making Christmas cookies and playing in the snow!  Probably be another 10 years before we see it again, but we had a ton of fun with the big girls in the cold drinking our hot coco!














I love my big baby girl!
