The Nutcracker

Jerusha was really great this Christmas about making it special for the girls. While I was busy with finals and she was sick she somehow found the time to do Joy School, take the girls to the Nutcracker, put up and decorate a tree, and do countless other things like helping Amelia make her Christmas wish list.

If you were wondering, she wanted a ducky, two picture frames in the shape of a heart, a piggy bank, a crocadile, a princess Aurora doll, and a turtle. She got everything but the turtle, and if anyone knows where you can get one cheap let me know.

Here are some pictures of the Joy School girls at the Nutcracker.

Pre-Christmas fun

Here are some pictures of the Amelia and Isabelle at their Joy School Christmas Program. It was really great. Amelia was able to show off some of her moves she's been learning in her dance class, and she played the angel in the nativity reenactment. Isabelle played a very surly inn keeper; when she says, "NO ROOM!", she means it.

Halloween

Millie decided she wanted to be a crocodile for Halloween, but the closest we could come to that was a dragon. She spent a lot of time while tricker treating correcting people who called her a dragon, until on of the ladies in our ward told her she was the cutest dragon she's ever seen. After this comment was made I waited for Amelia to correct her, but Millie just thought for a minute and then said, "Yeah I am a dragon. See because I have wings."
Isabelle was Tinkerbell. A very cold Tinkerbell by the end of the night.
Here are some pictures of the girls at Joy School in our house.

Late Summer Pictures

So we had our friend take some more pictures of the girls this year. This time she took them to the park across the street from us. Well ok it's not a park, its really a cemetery, but it is pretty there.

Grandma and Grandpa Reid's Boston Trip

This is my first time adding video to a post so we'll see how it goes. When my parents were here the girls had a great time going to Jordan's Furniture store, the frog pond, and just dancing around the house. They also had a great time playing with the blocks my dad made for them.

Some fun pictures from Nauvoo.

It turns out that the coolest thing to do at the Carthage Jail is run up and down the handicap ramp, or at least that's what Isabelle thought when she wasn't picking up acorns.
