Christmas

We had a really enjoyable Christmas!  It started off with Chinese food on Christmas Eve, a walk around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights, and opening one gift each.  Then early Christmas morning Brooke and Alex ran down the stairs to see what Santa had brought them.  We opened the rest of the presents with a break for delicious cinnamon rolls.  We walked the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail and then I made dinner while AJ put the door on the playhouse.  We all enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner and cookies for dessert.

Brooke’s Dance Recital

Brooke had her dance recital for Tap and Ballet today.  She started with a tap number and finished with her favorite – ballet.  Then after getting her certificate we all had a nice reception with our dancer and she got a well earned cookie and juice box.

Ammy & Papa Visit

Ammy and Papa came to visit for Christmas break and had a lot of fun with us.  Brooke and Alex had a good time playing with Ammy and Papa and doing fun Christmas things like making cookies, seeing Christmas lights, opening presents, and AJ and I enjoyed a date night.  Papa was very busy helping AJ build the kid’s biggest Christmas present: The Playhouse.  It was a fun week!

Brooke’s School Program

Brooke had her Christmas Program at school today and we got to watch our girl sing with her class.  She had a lot of fun preparing for this with her class and was really excited to sing for us.
