Tis the Season for Recitals

Silje has been recitaling up a storm! (I'm pretty sure that isn't a word, but I'm using it anyway!) On the night of the dance recital, she also had a violin recital and she and Emma sang at the Relief Society Christmas Party in our ward. She has since had two more violin recitals and one more to go! (the last one is in a church, so no more pictures!) She is getting quite good at the violin and really enjoys playing.

Sinter Klaus

Well, Sinter Klaus has come and gone (is it really that late in the season already!?!). Our kids must have been good this year, because they got a lot of fun treats!

Christmas Dance Recital

Silje and Emma had their Christmas Dance Recital. The recitals are always so much fun! Here are a few pictures of our beautiful dancing princesses!

SNOW!

We finally got snow! It didn't seem time to get ready for Christmas without any snow! We don't have any hills, so we built one in our backyard so we could slid down! It was a lot of fun! Tommy was ok with it, until he sank! He was walking on top, but then he hit a soft spot and sank down past his knees!

Thanksgiving

I'm a little slow in getting our pictures up, but here they are. In the morning, we ran over to my parents house because David, Erin, and Johnny were there. We hadn't seen Johnny yet, so we went over and saw him. Sooooo cute!

Then we went over to Paul's grandma's house for dinner. The kids had so much fun running and playing with Isabelle. We missed Saskia (and of course Jon and Anna), but it was so much fun to get together! Tommy especially liked finding the horse's nose!

My First Nephew!!

My first nephew was born on November 2nd. I haven't seen him yet, but am very excited to do so! The kids are excited to have a cousin that lives in the same state! So, here are some cute pictures of little Johnny!

A Day at the Zoo

My sister, Kaycie, wanted to see the white alligator before he left the zoo. So, we went and saw it again. It is usually just floating in the water, but this time, it was right by the glass!





We also saw a tiger pacing right next to the glass. Not a great picture, but the kids loved it!
