Emma's Christmas Program - 2008

Emma had her Christmas program at St. Pius X on Tuesday. There was an afternoon and evening performance. The Christmas story even featured a live Baby Jesus. The two kindergarten classes sang two songs together. They all wore mice ears because one of their songs was called "Christmas Mice."

Disney on Ice

Shannon, Emma, Griffin and I went to "Disney on Ice" on Saturday. The kids had a great time and enjoyed their sno-cones, cotton candy, popcorn and hot dogs. The big kids enjoyed the show too. It featured "The Lion King", "The Little Mermaid", "Lilo and Stitch" and "Peter Pan."

Christmas 2008

Daddy and Emma went to the Moscow Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker. They also went to Victoria's for a "fancy dancy lunch" as Emma calls it.

Frosty Fred

Emma and Katelyn made their first snowman of the season. The girls named him Frosty Fred.

Anton's 1 year photos

We had Jessica of JM Photography take Anton's 1-year photos. I'm so glad she was able to capture his beautiful smile. Also, these photos were taken the week before he learned to walk, so they are the last photos of him crawling. They were taken at her studio in Minneapolis.
