The Christmas Ball

Vanessa got to experience her first Christmas Party for dance. She put the curlers in this morning and donned the dress without a fight. She was very excited! It was at a country club. Vanessa won a prize too! They both looked so beautiful. Heather got to wear her first heels and was excited to put on a little makeup.

Seasons Greetings Everyone

We would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy Happy New Year. It has been a busy year as you can see if you browse through all the blog posts from this year. Our highlights would of course have to be our first family vacation to Disneyland. We are planning a trip to New York City this March and we are very excited to see a place that we know a lot about through movies and tv but have never been too. I am sure it will be amazing. We also will be going to the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are happy to share this with our children. We hope all of you are well and that this recession that many of us have suffered through will just go away.
Feel free to comment at the bottom of the blogs.
Wishing you all the best. Love Belinda, Todd, Heahter and Vanessa.

Christmas Concert

Heather sang in the school Christmas Concert on Tuesday. Of course we chose the wrong side of the gym so we had to zoom in as much as we could. We had to giggle at all the little girls in their Costco dresses.

First Snow of the Year

We got a little bit of snow so far this year but it has vanished quite quickly. Looks like Chrismas will be green this year

Pancake Breakfast at School

This was the second year that the school hosted a Santa Claus Pancake Breakfast. The kids got to sit on Santa's knee.

Build A Bear Birthday

Heather's best friend and Heather went to build a bear to selebrate her birthday. Her friend will not be around for her birthday on the 23rd so we celebrated early. Heather chose a pony of course.

First Gift of Christmas

We started a new tradition this year. Each person gets a new ornament to hang on the tree. Heather got a Barbie on a horse since she loves both. Vanessa got a Toy Story toy box with Woody, Buzz and a Dinosaur, Todd got the "major award" leg lamp from the movie "A Christmas Story" and I got Jack Skeleton from "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Community Christmas Parades

The girls were apart of the Christmas Parades in two local communities because of the dance school. Vanessa participated in her first parade. Mom and Dad enjoyed not having to entertain her for the hour before the parade started. It sure was cold!

All I want for Christmas is.....

my two front teeth! Heather lost her first top tooth and the second is on its way out.
