Our little man got to experience his first dance class Christmas party. He enjoyed performing for the parents – on most of the songs. When it came to the Wiggles song “Everybody Clap”, he just stood there. I asked him afterward why he wouldn’t dance, and his response was that he doesn’t like that song because “it’s for dirls mom.”

Can you believe I did not take a single picture on Halloween night? Kirk took the kiddos out trick-or-treating with our great friends, the Blackman’s. Benjamin would not wear his policeman costume, but he happily went out with a scary mask. He loved wearing it around the house, too, and shouting “Boo!” We’d pretend to get scared, and he’d quickly lift the mask and say “It’s just me!”
The Jewels did a fabulous job once again – they really enjoy getting up there on the stage and showing the judges what they can do. Took 1st place again for both dances (being the only team in their age group again) – and this time they received a special “Too Cute” award from the judges. And they were definitely Too Cute! See for yourself!
These pictures were taken by another mom last weekend.
I’m Cute Near the end of the song, they storm the front of the stage and get to do this cute little pouty thing. The judges loved it!
Martian hopLove their little martian faces!
1st Competition down, and a big success – Jewels did a fabulous job! They took gold with both of their dances (tap and jazz). Okay, so they were the only team in their age group. But they really did nail it! And even though Gab and I had to be up at 5 am on Saturday to get ready and be there by 7 am, we really had a great time!
The Jewels got another opportunity to show their dancing skills this past weekend at a charity event for the Chloe T. Foundation. The girls did a fabulous job, and it was so fun to watch!
Gabriella had her first performance with the Jewels team this past weekend. As you watch the video, she is the first one to walk out from behind the right side of the spaceship. And yes, that is our child that rolled up a little too soon. But overall, she did a really great job - they all did. And more importantly, the girls had so much fun! We are so proud of our little Jewel!
