Thanksgiving Break

Although we only had 9 days off (as Victoria kept reminding me) we packed them full with holiday fun. The first Sunday we went to the musical Pinkalicious with our good friends Braelyn and Julie. The girls loved it and enjoyed dressing up in pink and going out for ice cream afterwards.
Josh, Renae, Caleb, Chloe, and Keira came down from Colorado for Thanksgiving. We spent a lot of time up at Carol and Dick's house playing with cousins and hanging out. Renae brought the girls' Razors (sort of like scooters but faster) and they took turns going up and down the street.

Jer showed the kids how to clean and stuff a turkey.
Grandma Carol and Grandpa Dick gave the girls an early Christmas present. It was well loved.
The Thanksgiving toast!
The girls took turns singing tunes while dressing up and putting on make up.

The cousins (minus Caleb, who unfortunately was feeling a little sick, but is now fine) spent the night on Thanksgiving. They didn't get to bed until after 10:30 and woke up around 7- there was a couple of break downs the next day, but it was all good:) The next morning I asked the girls who wanted waffles?
On Saturday we went to the Allen Outlet mall to get our pictures taken with Santa. It was a good year for the picture. Victoria told Santa that she wanted a doll sized horse and Bella told Santa she wanted a Baby Bella Doll and a wheelchair for her to sit in.
We ate lunch at Freebirds and took a couple of pictures.

On Sunday I took the girls to Tea with the Nutcracker Ballet. It was a fabulous tea party with lots of sweats to eat. The cast members come around and talk to the children as they eat.
We also went with our friends Kate, Sarah, and Janie. The girls enjoyed their hot chocolate.
After the characters chat with the kids. The story of the Nutcracker was read and then they put on about 6 or 7 dances from the Nutcracker Ballet. Victoria was mesmerized by the dancers. She asked if she could take ballet. Afterwards the girls were encouraged to go up on stage and actually dance with the performers. It was so much fun!
