A little bit of everything

I have some catching up to do before we head out of town for Christmas. Lots of pictures..hang in there. Last Saturday the girls and I got invited to a holiday mother-daughter brunch. Brad had drivers ed, so Aidan tagged along. It actually turned out great because there was another boy there for him to play with. We had a great time with lots of yummy food and a chance for the mommy's to talk and the girls to play.

Later that evening we took the train downtown to the Georgia Dome to see the Georgia High school football state finals. Peachtree Ridge vs. Camden Co. The kids had never been to the Dome and we thought it would be a fun family outing. A perk of having both Brad and I coaching in the state is that we get into all sporting events for free. Why not go if it is free? We were cheering for Peachtree Ridge even though they lost!

Carsyn, our "go with the flow" baby ended up falling asleep in the front pack and slept all the way from the Dome through the train and back home.

The game was not until 8 pm and with the kids bedtime falling at 7 pm, everyone including Brenna got a little worn out! Daddy carried her home.

On Monday Brenna's ballet and tap dance class had their little Christmas performance for the parents. Here are the girls warming up and doing their exercises at the bar.

Then it is time for tap. Can you guess what the girls are? It was so cute!

On Monday, Aidan and Brenna also had their last gymnastics class until January. I took pictures of Aidan because this was his last class in the "little kids" class with girls. In January he is moving up to the boys team. He still loves it so much and I am excited to see this new guys coach work with him. The last day consisted of jumping in the pit off the beam and swinging on the pit bars.

Yesterday the kids had Christmas parties at their schools. Here is Aidan with his teacher Ms Autumn. He LOVES school and is learning new things everyday. He is working on a reading challenge at the school right now. If you read so many hours at home and document it, you will receive a free ticket to Six Flags. His class was all reindeer and sang "Rudolph" today. That is why his nose is red.

The evening ended with a Christmas performance at Brenna's school. I remember thinking last year that Brenna would be up there at this time. She sang "Jingle Bells" and "Happy Birthday" great. (After 2 1/2 weeks, her black eye is almost gone!)
