On Wednesday night, Kennedy's dance team had their first performance at the Festival of Trees in Idaho Falls. They did so awesome! They only just learned this dance, and they really looked so darling. Kennedy has really started to PERFORM in the last year or so of dance, really smiling at the audience, it's so cute!
Unfortunately, Dustin was on call last week and got called out just in time to miss this performance. I really would have doubted the call was legit if I had not answered the phone. This performance is the WORST of the year to try to watch. The venue is WAY to small for the crowd, and it's usually pretty miserable. Plus chasing a two-year-old by myself...whew! Dustin lucked out...
My cousin's little girl, Hannah, is in Kennedy's class and they have become little buddies. Aren't they beautiful in their new costumes? Good job, aunt Lori!
I was horrified to discover that my camera batteries were dead, THANKS for the pictures, Debbie!
The best part was that the kids got to see Santa! That is nice to have done already. Kennedy's make-up was getting in her eyes, so she looks sad, but she was really glad to be chatting with the big guy. Hudson even got over his apprehension to tell Santa that he needs a "new Luigi" (the little yellow guy from "Cars"...umm, ebay, I guess???) I was proud of him for being so brave. Just shows how much he wants new cars... Kennedy asked for an American Girl doll. I'm guessing she'll be pretty thrilled (IT CAME TODAY, YEAH! am I on top of things or what?? I've never been this far along in my shopping by Thanksgiving)
On Thursday, Kennedy had her "Thanksgiving Feast" at school. The kindergarteners get to invite family and eat lunch at school. She totally guilted my parents into coming up for it (read about it here), and she was so excited! Dustin was able to come, too, and wild little Hudson tore up the place while we ate. It was fun, she was very proud of her family and introduced her grandparents to some of her cute little friends.
Grandpa Jay, Grandma Josie, and Kennedy the little indian...
You gotta love school lunch!
Kennedy was very excited to show off her classroom to Grandparents and Daddy (I see it every Thursday, you recall)
I thought this little turkey she made was so cute. I love that she said she was thankful for our dog, Tahoe. She is usually so annoyed by him...
I hope you had a great anniversary. Kennedy looks so cute in her dance costume. How fun that your parents got to come up for lunch. I loved having my grandparents for school lunch. It just seemed like I was the most important person. That's really cool they would come for that.
ReplyDeleteKennedy looks darling in her dance costume. You really have awesome parents-I really,really liked them after Joe broke up with me and I was playing softball against your parents ward. Your mom was playing 1st or 3rd base and told me how they were all mad at Joe, and were rooting for me. From that moment on I knew I could count on Josie and Jay for support. They are great. Love that they serve Thanksgiving dinner for the kindergartners-McCall loved it. Have a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteGood job Kennedy! Happy Anniversary Shelli and Dustin! Shelli I found a Luigi at Alco if you want me to get it for you. It is pretty tiny but better than no Luigi. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so pretty in her costume! I can't wait to see her perform in December. I am shocked your camera was dead I mean you hardly ever use it :) I love that story Denise told ha ha that totally sounds like mom! See you soon!!
ReplyDeleteactually that last one from Jami is from Jenna :)
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you are so far ahead of the game before Thanksgiving. HOW do you do that? I have so much to learn from you. You are a fantastic person, and I'm so glad to know you. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
ReplyDeleteI am dying over the cuteness of her ballet costume! It is darling! And how amazing that you got your hubby to twilight! You should have put out a bit at the theater.
ReplyDeleteIm just saying.
