AG and Cousins

There's not much better than an afternoon with your cousin...

Ok maybe an afternoon with your cousin and playing American Girl Dolls:)

(Sadly we're missing Afton and Halle...

I'm sure that would have made today even BETTER!!)

Pretty with paint

Rylee painted her nails solo for the first time last night. She received some bright cheerful polish from her Nana for Christmas and begged to use it. After permission she went straight to work, taking her time, making sure she covered every bit of nail. I thought she did a pretty good job!

Christmas art

Rylee's been working hard this month creating beautiful Christmas art!

Here are some of her masterpieces... Enjoy:)

Silly Jack

Jack's gone fishin! Rylee loves to wake up in the morning and look for Jack! He's been crackin her up:)

Jolley

Rylee had her big end if year tumbling performance tonight. She did a fantastic job entertaining an enormous audience. She's made such a big improvement in her skills since her last show in May. Rylee practices very hard for hours each week. She was one of a few in her class who did 4 backhand springs in a row! Such a superstar!

Jack is back

Our family elf Jack found his way back to our house a couple weeks ago. Jack is pretty sneaky and a little naughty this year. His hiding spots each morning when he comes back from the north pole are pretty silly. This morning he decided a bubble bath sounded fantastic. He sure is a crazy little elf!

Christmas spirit

We're still trying to get the through our heads christmas is on it's way... Quickly!

Okay, maybe it's just me.

Rylee is ready and excited!

After much begging we finally got around to decorating our tree tonight:)

Hip hip hooray!

Rylee has 2 big performances coming next week!

She finally got to take home her cheer uniform tonight...

And the best part are the fancy pom-poms.

Surprise surprise!
