I can’t believe she’s three…My sweet, sweet baby girl turned three the day after Christmas.  And what an amazing three years it has been.  Jeff and I were blessed with such a beautiful miracle and we love her more than I could ever begin to put into words.

We always spend Christmas day with Jeff’s side of the family.  We have a late lunch at Nana and Frantz’s and then open tons of presents. It’s so nice that our families live so close.  After presents, we usually get in our comfy clothes and just enjoy the rest of the day.

Our Christmas Eve tradition is to spend time with my side of the family.  We go to dad and mom’s for an early dinner, then over to my grandma’s next door for dessert with the extended family.  Then it’s back to my parents where dad reads us the Christmas Story from the bible by candlelight before opening presents.  It’s one of my very favorite days.  And so much fun for Miss Audrey.

Nutcracker

Audrey & Hope had a dance recital earlier in the month.  They performed the Nutcracker and Audrey was a flower and Hope was the Chinese doll (how very appropriate).  I use the word “performed” very loosely in reference to Audrey.  She looked awfully cute, but refused to dance.  She went on stage and never cried, but never danced either.  That action shot you see was taken after the performance, when she  decided she was ready to dance on stage.  Hope on the the other hand, danced beautifully.  I think we may have a tiny ballerina on our hands, she is so graceful~Audrey, not so much….
