Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful

I love snowy days as long as I don't have to go anywhere and can just enjoy it from the comfort of home. Wow, what a storm. We have about 10-12 inches of new snow today. We had to take advantage of it and go outside and play. I don't remember ever having better snow to make snowmen. It's very wet and heavy- not so good for shoveling. (Come on back Mary. You could play outside with us. Aren't you tired of 65 degree weather?)

Sugar Bowl

Today, Whitney and Halle had a dance recital. I love their dance recitals because Teacher "Auberry" (as Halle calls her) keeps them nice and short. They each danced 2 songs in their expensive costumes. Enjoy the video. It should pop up in a new window or tab.

Guess who else showed up? Only the best 2nd grade teacher Whitney has ever had. OK, she's the only 2nd grade teacher Whitney's ever had. Chelcie, I can't believe you took time out of your holiday break to come see Whitney dance. It meant the world to Whitney, and me, too!

And The Winner Is.........

Angie Rawlings. Congratulations. You won a long sleeve, sparkly vampire t-shirt. I'm not sure what your husband will say about it, but you'll look cute in it. Thanks to all of you who did this. And, to all of you who ordered. There were quite a few orders.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

FOURTEEN???!!!! How did this happen? I don't understand. One day, they hand you a sweet little baby and the next day its a teenager!!!

Kyrie's Favorites:

Color: GREEN (ever since she started watching the Wizard of Oz at age 2, green has been her favorite color)

Music: WICKED (probably because Elphaba is GREEN)

Class at school: BAND!!

Favorite pass-time: COMPUTER GAMES (especially Nancy Drew)

Favorite Book: Uglies/Pretties/Specials/Extras (but don't tell her friends, they all think she likes TWILIGHT better)

Favorite Movie: TWILIGHT (don't forget about the Twilight T-shirts on the next post down!!!)

Favorite food: SPAGHETTI (I had to stop stripping her down to eat it, though. Now the mess just gets on her clothes.)

Favorite Desert: today it is RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE from the OLIVE GARDEN because that's where we went to eat SPAGHETTI for her birthday!

I love you, Kyrie. I hope you had a great birthday. I hope the next year is a wonderful year for you. Continue to make good choices, keep good friends, get good grades and stay close to your Heavenly Father. You are a great sister, a loyal friend and an incredible daughter!

Love,
Mom
