Ella's Christmas Recital

 Last week Ella had her first Christmas tap performance.  She took a late nap and woke up a little grumpy so I was kind of worried how she would do.  Well, this girl was born to be on stage!  She had the whole crowd smiling and laughing.  It was quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen and we were all busting with pride!  Way to go sweet Ella Boo!

Griffin was SO proud of his sister.  He kept telling her she did a great job.

 LOVE!

 Gigi, Aunt Lala, and Jack came to watch too.  It was a great night!

Oh Christmas Tree...

 This year we decided to order a new prelit Christmas tree.  I did a ton of research online to find a very realistic tree with a reliable warranty.  Ha!  What a joke!  The tree we received had a stand of lights already out and the exchange process has given me more than a few grey hairs.  I finally had enough and the kids were more than ready to decorate their tree so we decided to get a real tree again this year. They had the best time picking out the perfect tree and having adventures in the "forest".  The tree is really beautiful and now I'm questioning why we would ever wanted another artificial one!  AHHH

 Oh how I love these two!

 The kids thought it was so funny that the tree was on top of the car.  It's the little things!
