Hailey's Christmas Dance Recital 2012

December 15, 2012

"Hang up your Stocking"

What a great show! Hailey was so excited, but will miss dance and I will miss watching her dance too. She has decided to switch from dance to gymnastics for a while, but might return to dance someday.

Before the show, in the balconey, wait for her turn and watching to others perform.

Izzy, Hailey and ?...(forgot her name, sorry!)

Alexis & Hailey

After her performance, she posed for a few pictures and daddy gave her a rose. She was perfect!

We went back for the 12o'clock show as well to see Miss Macy Ware perform...we love her!

More flowers from daddy!

What an exciting, but bittersweet day! I will soooo miss watching her dance, she has such a stage presence and is so beautiful...but at least they love to put on talent shows at home with lots of dancing!
I had to include some comments from her teacher, Jill Graybill, who wrote about Hailey. Brought tears to my eyes:

"Beautiful and talented sweetheart!"

"Hailey, I will miss you sooooo much! I loved your curls yesterday and that winning smile you carry with you at all times. I wish you the best in the future and I know you will be a great gymnast as you already possess so much physical strength and determination. I love you."

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the HALLELUJAH CHORUS ! After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!! Well, at least for now. Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol! Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on! I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

Down memory lane - Winter 2013

If there's one thing I love most, it's snow days!! Down time with fun in the snow and hot chocolate, cuddles and watching some of our favorites like Toot & Puddle, Franklin, Little Bear, The Berenstain Bears, Olivia, The Backyardigans, Sofia the First...or any Christmas movie, especially the Polar Express! We love snow days!! Nothing better than waking up to snow and homemade fun. The girls decided to dress up our snowlady and chose Snow White after looking through their dress-up clothes...neither of them wanted snow white to melt.... After thawing out and a warm bath, Lindsey always enjoyed playing with her playhouse and would always holler for me to come find her and let me know she was in her house. She loved how she could fit inside and imagination play.... . Lindsey started getting a cold but continued to smile....I mean, who doesn't love that baby...
