Nutcracker Christmas Show

Every year the rink puts on a Christmas show. This year it was the nutcraker. I had a blas doing it and my students worked SO hard. 4 of them were soloists and there were several others in various group numbers. I was also in-charge of the learn to skate group: the soldiers. They all did FABULOUS! No falls, no blood, no crying - it was a HIT! I'm so proud of them and I have to admit, as much as I like to perform, its nice being the one off the ice :)

"Extreme Home Makeover"

BEFORE










AFTER

We've lived in our place for a few months and while we aren't done decorating, we added a few things that have REALLY helped it make it feel like a home. And we love our Christmas tree!

ITS A GIRL!!!

Sorry - I'm really bad at blogging. I just like to look at everyone else's rather than working on my own. Matson and I went to have an ultrasound on December 2nd. I have felt like the baby has been a girl - and after about 15 seconds the doctor told us she was indeed a girl!!! We are THRILLED!!! During the ultra sound she was literally doing flips inside. She knew the "camera" was on her - she is her mothers daughter. I've felt her kick about 2-3 times and for the first time tonight Matson felt her kick too! It's so neat. She already has a special spirit. We couldn't be happier! We're still looking for names but a few we like are Taylee, Madelynn and Kinley. Give us more suggestions!!
