Music Together Holiday Ball

I'm pretty sure I've raved on here before about how much I love the Music Together program. I've been attending classes off and on since Logan was young, they have all been exposed to it lots. This year we were able to attend their Annual Holiday Ball. A chance to get dressed up, dance, eat food and hang out with our music friends.

Norah didn't nap that day (due to another party we attended after church and before the ball) and music isn't always Jacob's thing but we all had a blast. 

It got a little ugly after I took this pic but it looks cute!

Doing the Hokey Pokey. 

Jacob was actually into it!

Logan too.

 Logan got really into the "bird dance", they learned the moves at school during Oktoberfest.

Sleepy girl.

He ate...a lot.

Daddy isn't so much of a dancer, so mommy is in a lot of pictures.

:)

Norah got him to dance.

He's a much more "fun" dancer than mommy.

Logan gets into the action too.

Norah's Birthday Party

We had a small party last weekend to celebrate Norah's birthday.

Some party decorations.

I put up pictures of a bunch of her "1sts" over the last year.

The yummy cake!

My grandma made this dress for me. I also wore it for my first birthday.

The birthday girl with her grandma.

She was really into opening the gifts!

And reading the cards.

She obviously loved this sweater from Michael and Andrea.

A pretty blanket from Grandpa.

Some of the party goers.

And some more.

Not sure what's going on...

Oh! The cake!

Staring at the flame.

Happy to have her big brother help her blow out the candle.

A very poor picture of a very yummy and fun looking dessert.

Digging into the cake.

She loved it!

Licking the plate!

Opening more gifts. (Note the outfit change)

One lucky little girl.

Hanging out with great-grandma. 

Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate and for your support over the last year!

Deck Building!

My Aunt and Uncle are putting in a new deck on the back of their house and have hired Scott as their "supervisor". He was there last weekend as they got things started. The kids and I headed over after nap time to have supper with everyone.

Norah spent the afternoon hanging out in the grass.

One person working...two standing around.

Add another person standing around...

Haha

Brothers posing.

Brendan's friend Paige was there. She played with the boys. It was AWESOME.

This looks like a serious conversation.

 Once the deck is finished, I'll try and get some pictures up!

Dolson Cousins

That's a whole lotta food! The polished off pretty much all of it, too!
