I guess I will try not to make apologizes for being so behind but my goal for the next few weeks is to catch up where I left off. I have to do things in order or it completely freaks me out. I can't just skip over the holidays either so it just may be a slow process but I WILL get it done! I have been working so much lately that at night I just crash after the kiddos are in bed so I have a day off and this is on my to do list. If only it didn't take so long to attach this pictures. I don't know what I do wrong but it is always a process for me to get it to work out. So here we go..
Addie Blaire got the chance for the first time this year to perform at Mistletoe Fair in Texarkana. She has a new teacher this year and this was the group's first performance together so it was great to see all the girls do such a good job! Addie Blaire's ballet class was the first to go and they were great. I thought it was pretty impressive that a group of 5 girls ages 3 and 4 got up in front of a huge crowd and danced their hearts out. It also took some guts cause all the lights were on vs. a recital where it is dark so to me that is much more scary when you can see everyone staring at you.
The whole gang...
The pre school ballet class. There were a few tears from some of the girls, but not from mine she was ready to dance and it showed on stage as well.
This picture is so funny to me because I have a picture that is almost identical to this one from when I was about Addie Blaire's age. As you can tell we still have a ways to go before the recital but who cares it is just so dang cute whether they know what they are doing or not!
Addie Blaire started for the first time this year taking a hip hop class. It is super cute!! I love that she comes home singing her Justin Bieber songs and dancing right along. I figured she would enjoy the speed of this class a little more than ballet and I think I was right. The girls all did such a good job I was so proud of all of them!
Bobo and Ms. Sharon came to watch.
Nana came down to watch as well and afterwards we did a little shopping and then went to Genghis grill with the Maneth's. Such a fun night!
Little Brit Brit was right there cheering on big sis!
Thanksgiving 2011 this year was in Hope for us. We trade out the holidays each year and so we got the chance to hang out in town and it was so nice. Aunt Bran, Uncle Mark and Mas came down and we had such a good time getting to hang out for a couple of days together. We started out the holiday a little early celebrating Thanksgiving and Pop's birthday on Wednesday. It worked out that we were able to be there for such a special man that we all love so much.
Addie Blaire and her main man Mas Dog!
Helping Pop blow out the candles, we won't say what birthday it was this year cause I'm sure he would prefer it that way and I can't honestly remember myself.
Nicki and Pop with all the great grands, so glad we at least got them all at least in camera range for the first time together.
"G" and the grands.
Thanksgiving day we went out to the Webster's for lunch. It was alot of fun because of all the kiddos running around and we even made time for a little parade of sorts. Addie and I had spent the night before making a few little treats for all the kiddos so I had to capture my creativity on camera and it made for some cute shots of some of the kids. I must say they were very easy and hopefully next year will look a little better with more practice.

Happy Holidays from the Bobo's ( a little late!)
