Taylor's first dance recital!


Last week Taylor had her very first Dance recital!! Her class danced to Frosty the Snowman. It was so much fun for me to watch my little girl do something that I have such a deep love for. She truly loves to dance and perform and I just can't put into words the things that makes me feel. She worked really hard and practiced at home all of the time, and the night of the dress rehearsal she finally admitted to me that she was nervous. Well, after a little pep talk, she marched up on stage and danced her little heart out! I am so proud of her. The next night as I was curling her hair and getting her ready, she says to me "Mom, I'm not nervous tonight...I've already been here and done this!" Haha! She is so funny! She did such an incredible job! Afterwards, Daddy gave her a dozen red roses that she proudly carried everywhere with her. Good job Tay! I am so proud of you!

Happy Turkey Day!!


Every now and again I get this crazy urge to see just how many people we can possibly fit into my kitchen...it always seems to happen around Thanksgiving! :-) I am very nostalgic and love the idea of the family coming together to eat. This year (like the last two), I volunteered to do most of the cooking and baking. I know, it seems crazy...but I LOVE IT!! We had such a nice meal, good food, and even better company! Hopefully we can continue this little tradition and keep having these nice get togethers!! I am so thankful for a wonderful family that indulges in some of my crazier ideas!!
