Preschool Christmas Program




























Stella and Ruby had their Christmas performances today at preschool. They were both so cute. Stella did a great job singing all her songs. Ruby was quite a performer; I think she was the only singer in her class. It is always a lot of fun to see.

Molly Mouse's Sugar Plum Debut











We took the girls to see the children's ballet "Molly Mouse" at Rose Wagner a few weeks ago and they had a blast. Stella went to the Nutcracker last year, and really enjoyed it, but in my opinion it is really long for a 2 and 4 year old to sit through. This ballet is geared toward the preschool set, and is a little over an hour long with a 15 minute intermission which is perfect for shorter attention spans. All the costumes are really colorful and all the characters are mice. Stella plans to audition for the part of Molly Mouse next year, even though you have to be 8 years old and as an afterthought said "maybe I should take some dance lessons this year."

Skiing!!!











I don't really like cold weather, or snow for that matter, so I thought what better way to embrace the cold weather? We decided to purchase cross country ski's for the whole family. I have to say, I really enjoy it. It is a great family activity and is so much fun! And the girls are naturals on their ski's and absolutely love it! So, here are a few pictures from this past weekend.
