Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas this year despite poor Reagan having Influenza A.
Jocelyn was still thrilled that Santa actually came!
She loved and was excited about opening every present.
The girls got a HUGE doll house and a cradle and highchair for their baby dolls
Reagan was excited about presents too!

Diego!
Dora Gymnastics
So excited!
Diego books
Rescue Pack!  I guess Santa got the memo that Reagan wanted lots of Diego things this year.
Diego movies
The girls also got Wii remotes made especially for little hands.
Supergirl cape!

Pretend make-up
 The girls really make Christmas so much fun!

Christmas at Meme & Papa's!

This year we got to have Christmas twice!!  Meme and Papa weren't going to be able to make it to Pittsburgh for Christmas, so we went to Bay Village the weekend before to exchange presents and celebrate together.  We all had a really fun time!  Meme and Papa's house was so beautiful all decorated for Christmas!

Our Dancer!

Jocelyn started going to dance classes this past summer and has really been enjoying it.  
She had her first performance at Brentwood's Light-Up Night on November 13th.  Her costume looked adorable on her and she was excited to do her well-practiced dance in front of people.

It was a VERY cold night, but she was a trooper and did her dance so well!  She really concentrated on keeping up and doing the right moves.  I was SO proud of her!

 
At the end of the dance, the dancers were to take a white pom-pom from their glove and throw it out to the crowd.  Jocelyn had trouble getting hers out (thanks to Mom), and was quite upset over it as you may be able to see at the end of the video.  It really broke my heart, especially because she felt that it ruined the whole dance.  It took some convincing, but she eventually believe us when we told her that she did a wonderful job despite the pom-pom incident!

After her dance we participated in some of the Light-Up Night events.  She looked so cute sitting on Santa's lap with her little Santa costume on!  I think this is my favorite picture of Jocelyn with Santa yet!


Jocelyn had another performance night for dance on December 19th.  She did an excellent job once again!  We held our breath at the end when it was time for the pom-pom, but this time she was able to get the pom-pom out much easier!  Whew!
In the picture below, Jocelyn is standing directly under the Candy Cane on the right.

Santa was there to watch the girls perform, and then they had the opportunity to sit on his lap (even REAGAN sat on his lap again)--with Andrea of course!  ;-)

A Christmas Performance

Jocelyn's Preschool had a special Christmas performance at their church on December 16th.  Jocelyn was feeling a bit under the weather, but was well enough to perform the songs she had been practicing for weeks in Preschool.  She was so cute dressed up as a little angel.

Reagan and SANTA!

We were beginning to think this would be the only picture we would ever have of Reagan sitting on Santa's lap.

However, today at Reagan's PALS Christmas party, she decided she was brave and sat on Santa's lap!  She even told him what she wanted for Christmas!!

Crafting for Christmas

We felt bad throwing our unused sugar pumpkins away, so we found another use for them!

 



 I think he turned out great!
