Baby Ballet...I finally got to watch!

Each week, the doors to the ballet studio are closed during class....as you can imagine, this is the only way that the instructor can keep five 3-4 year old girls focused for 45 minutes! After a couple of months of ballet, Ms. Christine opened the studio doors this week so that the Mommys could take pictures, videos, and see the progress that our girls have made over the past few months. We finally got a peak behind those big wooden doors....and this is what we saw.

Posing for a few pre-class photos....



Don't forget to stretch!






Beautiful fifth position, Allie!





This is quite a log video (just under 18 minutes), and only the grandparents are required to watch it all! But hey....I think I did pretty good cutting 45 minutes of video down to under 18 minutes! It was all just too cute....


Not sure when we'll get to watch again, but Allie asked me this morning "When do the Daddys get to watch ballet?", so next time the doors are open, we'll have to get David there too....

Love to all,

Nikki

Halloween!

We had a fantastic 3 1/2 week trip to Atlanta in October....which included Halloween!

We had a great time celebrating the fall during our trip. We went to the Halloween carnival at our neighborhood elementary school....the kids couldn't get enough of the bouncy house!







We also had a fantastic morning at our favorite Pumpkin Patch!














Enjoy this fun video of our time at the pumpkin patch!


And finally, we topped it all off with a great night of trick-or-treating in our lovely neighborhood. Our little dragon and superhero had a fantastic time!












Here's a great video summarizing our trick-or-treating experience...


I even let them enjoy some of their treats! :-)
