Santa

 
 
Christmas morning began around 8:00, oh how I love the fact that my kids like to sleep. My favorite part is waiting in bed for them to go out and find the Santa gifts, listening to them open their stockings and see what the fat man left is my favorite. This year he left a full paintball helmet for Zach and art supplies and a CD player and CD for Zara along with the usual favorite candy... oh and I can't forget their fushegi balls.

Christmas

 
 

Christmas was perfect once again. We enjoyed Christmas Eve with mom and everybody.. and some yummy tamales. Presents were awesome as usual and the laughter was even better. Niko brought the Ashley, the girl he is seeing and Sophia's Ashley came too. We had a room filled with Nicks and Ashley's.. Zach decided he should find a girl named Sophia just to finish it off. A big thanks to mom for making the night another memorable Christmas

dance christmas party

 
after a week of some strange fever...and a little stress about being with the big girls for the first time we made to the DIA Christmas Party! she did really good considering she missed the last week of practice. She performed a cute jazz number and did some hard concentrating for tap. She still doesn't know how to do the hokey poky, but had the best time trying. Miss Hollie was there to help Zara feel a little more comfortable. She had the best time celebrating with the DIA girls. Three hours of dancing fun equaled bed time at 7. For that I say thank you DIA. Merry Christmas everybody!
