Crazy Busy Weekend!

This weekend pretty much had NOOO down time! Yesterday Jake had pageant practice starting at 10 and then had a birthday party to go to. Jarika was coming into town to go to the funeral for two friends that were killed in a car accident last week and Addy and I had a birthday party to go to as well. It was busy! Here's Addy making a craft at the party :) I was going to get pix of her with the birthday boy but he wanted nothing to do with it!

Today was even busier by far! This morning Cooper's youth choir at church was singing along with our Praise Team for a special Christmas program. They did a great job, they always do! I didn't get pix of it since it was really crowded this morning, but here's a pic of him today :)

This afternoon Addy had her first dance recital. She's only been to dance class 3 or 4 times (I think) and she is making progress with participation, but the shoes are such an ordeal for her! She pretty much pulls the noodle legs when she wears her ballet slippers or tap shoes (Her OT thinks I need to send them to school and make her wear them there :) She won't stand in the tap shoes at all but she will for a little bit in her slippers when it's her idea and she feels like it :) So here is Addy at her first performance :) Yes, she sat the entire time and only moved her arms at the appropriate times maybe twice, lol. I had to wake her from a nap so she definitely was not on her game but at least she was there!





Then early this evening Jake had his Christmas pageant at church. He was Moses in the beginning having a snowball fight with an angel. Didn't make sense to me either but oh well!
For the rest of the performance he was Joseph. I didn't get a pic of him afterward with his "hat" on but I thought he made an excellent Joseph! The kids all did a great job, it was quite a cute performance! The most entertaining part was my friend's son, Kannon, he did a mean "PA RUM PA PUM PUM!" I know someone will have it on video, I'll share it on Facebook, it's worth watching!

Addy was pretty thrilled to see that Santa made a surprise visit too! She's the only one of all of my kids that hasn't done the whole Santa freak out!

Oh Wow! Your children are adorable! What a fun weekend.:) I had to laugh when I saw Addy sitting on the stage. Reminded me of when Jimmy was in T-ball and he would plop down in the outfield. The game had to stop playing every time he sat down and have to wait till he stood up again. Hilarious!He only played one year but it was fun!

LOVE the pictures!! Addy will get used to the shoes! Kennedy's whole class just did their recital barefoot and I LOVED it! Granted it wasn't tap (I guess that would be hard lol) but no ballet shoes was awesome! :)
