Finally feeling better

So, I think I am finally past the worst of the morning sickness.  Honestly, I think this has been the most sick I have been with any of my kids.  I was pretty sick with Vanessa, but at least then I didn't have any other kids to take care of, even though I was working and in school.  Kids are still harder than work and school in my opinion.

Anyway, despite my sickness December has been super busy with all kinds of Christmas related events.  Vanessa has definitely kept us busy with all of her activities.  She decided that she really wanted to take up hip hop dancing this year, so I decided to let her give it a try.  She got to perform at a local event called "The Festival of Trees".  She was supposed to have her hair done up like a "who" from "whoville" for their Grinch production.  I did my best,... I have never been known for my hairstyling skills.

 

We also had Vanessa start piano lessons this year, and she had her very first recital during Christmas.   She was so excited to play in front of everyone and was not nervous at all (I have no idea where she get's that from because I am absolutely the exact opposite). We really felt like she did a wonderful job and we were super proud of her.

 

And just because I am super behind on posting pics of the kids and just blogging in general, I just wanted to throw in a couple of pictures I took of Evan and Ben on Christmas day with their matching shirts.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)
