Dec 2013 & May 2014 Dance Recitals

SPRING RECITAL
 Sadie danced to a jazzed up version of Cruella De Ville. The entire recital was Disney song themed.
 All of the girls from the oldest competition team dressed up like princesses and the girls took pictures with all of them. As you can see Emmy was in LOVE! The older gals also did some beautiful dances in their dresses during the performance.  The next door neighbor friends, Kina and Mila, came to watch.
Here are a few of our carpool neighborhood friends.
 Emmy danced to a fun song from a Tinkerbell movie.
 Dang she is flexible!
 We just LOVED Ms. Teasha. Both girls had her this year.
 Brian had come from priesthood session with flowers and candy...what a great Daddy!
WINTER RECITAL
This was Emmy's first performance on a stage and she was amazing!! I put her in the 4 year old class even though she was three because she is so tall and I thought she may be able to keep up and she sure did!! Her class danced to Frosty the Snowman.
 "and they only paused a moment when they heard him holler...STOP!"

Cousin Cookie Bake 2013

Growing up in Oregon we all have the founded memories of having cookie bakes with Grammy each December, so we decided to recreate our own. It was so wonderful to have almost everyone there, plus spouses, plus so many children! I remember growing up the cousins, especially Mark always made the best cookies. My family was not as blessed in the cookie decorating department. We sure like to eat them though!
 Almost all the cousins reunited. Just missing Jason and Julianne (the youngest in both families)
 Driving Down to Utah Adventures...
Bree dumped a chocolate frosty on her head so her sisters wouldn't take it from her.  Luckily we were only about 20 minutes from my parents house.
And back to the cookie bake...
