santa pics

when my older kids were younger i used to take them every year to the mall to get santa pictures. as i had more kids it got harder. now, as a result, we usually rely on the ward party for our yearly photos. ainsley would not go near santa so she had to sit on jeremy's lap. i was not happy about this (even though jeremy is wearing a festively red shirt). austin and parker thought they were too old for santa pictures...they felt forced.

austin was one of the narrators. he did a good job reading.

the funny thing about this video is listening to hayden sing...she likes to sing loud...especially in the last verse.

Hayden's "Winter" concert

Hayden had her preschool "Winter" concert. It was multicultural. Hayden was Suzie Snowflake. She loves to sing.

I was so hoping that the little boy in the audience would sit down. He was in the front row and he stood up for most of the program. How annoying! I wish I would have had a comb to at least take care of the huge turkey-tail on his head.

dance

my girls love their dance classes.

Candy Cane

Ainsley found a candy cane....

School Concert

The kids participated in the 1st annual "Holiday" concert for our school last month. When I got there about 5 minutes early it was packed. So as you can see I got some terrific pictures...
McCall is in the middle of the back row. If you look closely you can tell her by her bow.

Luckily, Parker was on the end so I saw him a little better.

Walking down from the stage.

Austin was so far away I didn't get any that turned out...so here he is walking up to the stage.
