Christmas Dance Recital

 The Dance Gallery puts on a Christmas Recital for Kindergarten through 5th grade so this was the first year Madi could participate.

 It's a very low-key production, thank goodness!  We were given these argyle socks and told to wear Christmas-y dance wear.

 They held stockings as they sang and danced to "Santa's Bag of Toys."

 Madi wanted her picture taken with each decoration in the Civic Center. 

 It was a great performance by our very own ballerina! 

Day 21:  Fred left a small gift box filled with quarters and a picture of gifts for Madi to color.

 Day 22:  Fred was on top of the china cabinet with a sign hanging down.

 It said "3 Days until Christmas!"

 I found Sue laying with Madi and had to send this picture to Matt since he was at the store.  Sue isn't known as the friendliest dog so we were surprised to see her cuddled up with Madi. 

 Matt has spent all Sunday afternoon making Monster cookies, his Grandmother's fudge recipe and trying out a friend's toffee recipe. 

 

 His second batch of fudge was PERFECT!

 We sent this picture to Matt's mom as proof!

  We laughed as Madi was telling Chicke where to go and Chicke was actually listening and following along. 

 It was a nice lazy day before all the Christmas-time fun!
