Our Little Sleeping Beauty
Paige loves to sleep in her brothers room, and every night we have to take her back to her own room. You also have to know that she is smart enough to know that if she does the army crawl then we cant see her sneaking in there. Well it was about 10:30 and Kevin and I decided to check the kids on the way to bed and this is what we found. We thought it was so funny that we had to get pictures.

Radio City Christmas Spectacular
For Christmas this year my mom and dad called and asked if we would like tickets to the Rockettes Christmas Special. With out really knowing much about it we said yes and went along our merry little way. Well last night we had the chance to go to the show and all I can say was it was AMAZING. We all loved it, Paige didn't blink an eye they entire time that we were there. It was great...
It was just our little family, we went to the Olive Garden before hand and had a wonderful dinner then off to the show we went..
This was the stage that they preformed on, they had an ice rink on it with trap doors, everything that you would think that they would have in the real Radio City Hall..
The Rocketts were GREAT they changed outfits 8 times, they had their legs kicking all night long with high heels on. I couldn't believe it. I told Kevin maybe one day I could be a Rockett..(Maybe in my next life!)
This was there big bus that you can take tours on when you are in New York. They drove that thing all over the stage.
This was the little ice rink that they had on the stage, they had a bench that would pop up and down as needed.
This had to have been one of the Rocketts best dances, the pictures didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but it was so fun to see it. In the end they all fall down in a row without one person out of sink.
Santa was awesome. They had him flying all around, and over the audience. They brought out tons of Santa's to do a number for us. The kids thought it was the neatest thing that they had ever seen.
This was the last call, what an amazing night it was.
I did save the best for last, they had a live nativity, and they have real animals come around. It was the neatest nativity that I have ever see. It leaves you wanting more!

This act was the first that we saw..... the Rocketts were dressed as reindeer and came out kicking and dancing. They pulled Santa's sleigh everywhere on the stage.

This was the best way to end the night and my blog, this here is the reason for the season. If I wasn't in the Christmas spirit before I am more then there now. All I can say is thank you mom and dad for making this a Christmas never to be forgotten.

GINGERBREAD HOUSES
This was a fun week for us, on Monday night for family home evening we made a Gingerbread house. Ever year as a family we buy a gingerbread house kit and go to town on it. we let Braydin decorate half and Regan decorate the other half, then Paige puts her mark all over the place...
This is Braydin's side he told me that he was doing a pattern on his, then we go to Regan's side and....
here it is Braydin told us that Regan side was the creative side. He makes us laugh the things that an 8 year old says.
After the wonderful Monday night activity Wednesday at the school the classes were making their Gingerbread houses. It was really nice because the 3rd graders are the book buddies for the kindergarten classes and it so happens that Braydin's class is Regan's classes book buddies, so they put the two of them together.
Regan was so ready to make his house, he hardly slept the night before.
It made me laugh Braydin's teacher told all the 3rd graders to make sure that they helped their book buddies good, and I know that if Braydin would have had another book buddy things would be a little different. But Braydin kept telling him everything that he was doing wrong, just like a big brother would do....
I took Paige with us to make the Gingerbread houses at the school, she loved being a big kid. She thinks she is one of them. She has no idea that she is only 2.
This is Regan's finished project from school, he was so proud he brought it home and asked if he could put it next to the family one so that they could be together.
This is our families house, I thought it turned out great.
This is Braydin's house, very simple.

But really Braydin is a great big brother to both Regan and Paige.

Like I said before this was such a fun week with the kids, I'm hoping that it spills over into the next few weeks. I love this time of the year and I hope that I can show my children that this is a time to celebrate and be excited, and to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.

CIRCUS TIME
When we found out that the circus was coming to town I told Kevin that I wanted to go and that I had never been and so I wanted to take the kids and go. We decided to call Buffie and Jessie and see if they had any plans and low and behold they didn't so we were off.
We were on the 13th row and could see pretty good.
This guy was my favorite he was a French clown and made us laugh the entire time he was performing...
The kids loved all the animals that they had, but the most amazing I thought were the elephants, the tricks that they had them do were amazing.
Before the show started they let us go down and meet all the entertainers and try on the costumes, and try a little high flying.
We were 2 people away to do the trapeze and they announced that they were shutting it down. We had waited in line for 15 minutes, so Kevin ran Paige up there to let her swing for a minute.
This was a photo op I couldn't resist now you all know that my life is a circus!
Braydin tried a little of the juggling. He thought that he was so good.
This was such a fun night for our family. We had a little of everything going on and we loved it. I cant wait to go back again. Thanks Buffie and Jessie for going with us we had a blast!
