Snow and Dance Recital

It snowed a little bit last week. It makes it so Christmasy with even a little bit of snow. I love it! I love Christmas so much I should marry it! I tell Scott all the time that if I'm not watching a Christmas show or listening to Christmas music I feel like I'm cheating on Christmas. So much love.

I had an amazing success at some thrift stores on Tuesday, that can be real hit or miss. I lucked out on everything I needed and more. I had to buy a rocking chair that I fell in love with even though we don't really have the space or extra funds to justify it. I left the store and went back. When I find something good at a thrift store I just have to get it sometimes. At the back of the store I found 4 awesome chairs to refinish and they ended up being $4 a piece. Such a steal! I bought them on the spot. I was going to refinish them to match my table so that it would hopefully help it sell. I didn't realize I hadn't taken down one of my ads and someone wanted my table and I just sold them the unfinished chairs with it. Perfect! I don't love doing those projects in the winter anyway.

I've been having weekly cheesy Christmas movie night with friends from my ward. They came over Tuesday night and watched a really terrible Christmas movie with me. The story lines on those movies are so awful sometimes. It was fun though.

Gabby had a dance recital Friday night (Piper takes dance from a different teacher). She was so excited. She doesn't get nervous at all and she lights up the stage. It looks like she got her parent's genes and is not very flexible. Poor girl! I keep trying to figure out how to post her dance but I'm having a hard time loading it up on you tube. I will keep trying.

We've been church hopping the last few weeks. It's pretty cool to attend other church services.

Love this rocking chair. I had to have it. I don't like the fabric but I can fix that.

Ouch! Corbin was pushing Ryan around in the laundry basket and he fell and hit his mouth on the door frame. Yikes! It has healed really quickly. Kids are resilient! 

Gabby's certificate. 

Ryan kept going out in bare feet. He's a nut!

I finished my jean quilt. I've always wanted one and I finally did it with the help of a lot of friends and family. It's so heavy and nice!

Ryan wanted a picture taken.

So cute!

There she is walking across the stage.
