Pre birthday fun

Both sets of the grandparents came to town for Addison's dance recital and stayed a few days for her birthday. We went to the muppets movie and had to pose with the chipmunks at the theater. We also went to Mandalay Bay shark reef. Addison had received a dress up in the mail that day from some sweet friends for her birthday and she had to wear it all night. We had lots of fun.

Dance Recital

Addison had her holiday dance recital. She was in a tap number and did really well. Way better than the kid that always stands up there and picks their nose. There is always one of those right? I was the mom in the back trying to keep them happy before their turn so I got a few cute pics.  The last shot is with her two besties Morgan and Cara.  Cute girls!

I was on a roll and this is my second post.  Check out the previous one for some Christmas on the Strip fun!

Christmas Fun

We went down to the strip today for some festivities with friends. They do amazing decorating. Here are some photos.

What do you do when...

All of your Christmas stuff is in storage 300 plus miles away? And you don't have a lot of cash? You have a homemade Christmas. My parents brought us their tree over Thanksgiving so that was great. I got some ideas on pinterest (love that site). We strung popcorn with my parents. Addison and I have spent a few days making some different crafts. We did salt dough ornaments and painted them. Made some bell wreaths, snowmen handprints, icicles, thumbprint reindeer and a few others. It has been so much fun and the tree is adorable. This may be a new tradition. We hope you are all having as much fun as us getting ready for Christmas.
