Maylee's Dance Recital

Maylee was in her very first dance recital the beginning of December.  She looked so stinkin' cute!  Miss Erin's mom made the beautiful costumes and Maylee's fit her perfectly.  I think our cute little girl was a tad bit nervous before the recital because she kept asking to go to the bathroom, but she did an amazing job up on the stage.  She didn't even look scared!  She was in a 2-3 year old class and was one of the older students.  

(She thought it was fun to get me with the flowers she got for the recital.  What can I say... my girls love to get their picture taken!)

She finally struck a little pose for me!  Seriously so cute!  She worked hard and we are so proud of her.  Way to go Maylee!

enjoying the weather...

Jeff was able to take a couple of days off the beginning of November, so we filled them with some fun activities!  One day we headed over to South mountain and did a little hike.  The weather was perfect and the hike was simple.  It was nice to be outside and getting a little exercise.  

(Time to recharge with a little snack!)

(Brooklyn was sporting her Elmo socks.  They are sweet!  She has a slight obsession. :)

After hiking up a decent hill for a 3 year old, I said, "Maylee doesn't that make you feel good to make it up that big hill?"

Maylee said, "No, it make me feel tired... of walking!"

But then we pumped her up at how well she was doing and she soon took the lead all the way back to the car.  Then we headed to Culvers for some burgers and custard and then to a golf store to get the golf balls Jeff won from calling into the radio- can't beat a day like that!

Jeff spent the other day off building a bookshelf that I am in LOVE with!  He did an amazing job and it is just what I wanted.  We put it up in Brooklyn's room in a corner, so we have a little book nook!  We get all cuddled up in the pillows and blankets and read.  (Can you tell I once was a teacher?!!)  Picture coming soon.
