My little Pianist




I am SO PROUD of Nina! She had her first piano recital and did fabulous!! She was nervous at first but it didn't show a bit and when it was all over she said, "That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!"



Here she is with Ms. Phyllis. She says she is very talented and picking it up quickly.



I can't figure out how to upload her video onto my blog....: (  I'll keep trying and then post it when I can....



We are so proud of her!

Three Thanksgivings and a Birthday



Thanksgiving began with Nana and family at the Ramada. 




So glad that Dave, Christy and Sophie could join us and Grandmother is still doing great!! 99 in a couple weeks!



The Ingle Family. They're pretty cool people ; )




We headed back to Nana's house...





Nina and Dallas helped Aunt Christy and Aunt Melinda make a gingerbread house. It was a lot of work!  
Isn't it lovely....?


Dallas spent some special time with Grandmother. She loves having his company. Her youngest great grandbaby.


Later, all the kids crashed Grandma's room to watch her new TV.




Me and Linda. Love my Mother-in-law!



Then it was off to Grammie's for Thanksgiving #2.

Somehow I lost the picture of us all around the table.  I have no idea what happened to it! I'm really bummed...

But here we are decorating the Christmas tree and having Cupcakes.



My baby boy turned 3 the day after Thanksgiving! I can't believe it!






Here he is shooting Grammie with his new space gun.
 

He got lots of goodies. His guitar is his favorite. Thanks Gramnie.

Silly Nina

Then it's off to Tio and Shanna's for Thanksgiving #3!


Dallas passed out on the way.



Here we all are with Grandpa and Debbie.

Big kids table..


Little kids table..



And to finish off the holiday...

Rock band at Grandpa's!


 Oh! Here is a picture of Dallas with his birthday donut.


So thankful for all of my family!!

Last day of Archway Classes

This was our first semester at Archway. The kids had such a good time. I'm so glad we found this group.


Aidan took a journalism class. This was his class and his teacher Mrs. Deanna.


 He was pretty proud of his newspaper.





He wrote an article with his buddy AJ about Thanksgiving.


Nina took a history class. She was Clara Barton here....




 
She also took a cooking class. She really loved them both! I think it really helped her open up!

Dallas took a music class. 



He got to keep his Lumi sticks...


 And he got a cookie : )



It was such a good experience and we can't wait to start back again in January!
