Let the holidays begin!

We have had an action packed week.  Tonight we saw Santa at the Holiday Extravaganza on the Square.  The kids all liked Santa this year, Carter even gave Santa a high five.  They were all ready with their well thought out lists.  

 The girls' dance team performed in the window of a furniture store up town.  It was fun to see them enjoying themselves.  Their ballet routine was to Santa Claus is Coming to Town and tap was Girls Just Want to Have Fun.  They were amazed that I knew that song. :)

 Grandma & Grandpa Mahr stuck it out to the bitter cold end by going on a horse drawn wagon ride (after 1/2 hour in line).  Then we got to see the lighted parade.  It was a fun night but very cold!

 Last night Laurel sang in her first musical: A Bear-y Merry Holiday.  She adores her music teacher Mrs. Johnson (below).  She even had a speaking part which she did with great expression.

 Laurel was a dancing bear & her friend Olivia was a panda bear.

The bear nose rubbed off on Grandpa Doug, but neither of them cared. :)

It was a great week, but we are really missing Wade who has been traveling for work since Tuesday.  I couldn't have made it through the week without some exceptional grandparents!!! We are so thankful to be close.
