Her dance recital

Victoria's Christmas Dance









Victoria has started taking dance here and we have had three appearances already! First they were in the Nashville Christmas Parade...at night in 22 degrees! Then they had their recital, and finally they performed at a local nursing home and brought the residents a home made card and ornament. Busy busy busy!

Breakfast with Santa






This was an event we had with POTATO (Parents Of Twins And Triplets Organization) They had Santa and Rudolf there and you were able to take your own pictures. Then we tried to take a group picture....hard to fit when the kids come in two's and three's...Hard to believe that this is just a small portion of the group!

The Grinch on ICE!











We took the kids to How the Grinch Stole Christmas - on ICE at Opryland. It was so neat! Everything was carved out of ice. They gave you these blue ponchos so you wouldn't freeze to death. It was like walking in a meat locker. The kid (Matt included) loved the huge ice slide.



Victoria's Birthday celebration - Part 2











On her birthday we made a cake and opened presents at home. Then we popped popcorn and watched a family movie! The next day, Victoria picked where we were going to eat lunch. She picked out Aquarium Restaurant, which is a very nice place. It has a whole under water theme, complete with a gigantic tank in the middle of the restaurant...big enough that divers have to go in to clean it. It was great and she got a complementary hot fudge sundae to boot!

Victoria's birthday celebrations! - Part 1
















When we were home for Thanksgiving, we had a birthday celebration for Victoria. It was nice having most of the family together for her day!

Joseph Wrestling











So Joseph is Wrestling this year. I know, it came as a surprise to us too! I think it has been good for him and he is doing well. It is hard though, trying to figure out how loud I can yell without completely embarassing him since he is now a cool teenager. Also, it is kind of tough seeing your youngin' slung around the mat by some stranger!
