Christmas in Redding

I got a digital camera again!!!! Yeah!!! So, as you see I can post more on the blog. This Christmas we went to Redding to spend with the entire Dyer/Barclay clan and my mom too! There were 18 of us for about a week and we all had a blast. We got to go to Shasta City on Christmas Eve and play in the snow a bit.

Hannah tired after a few sled runs.
Elena burried in presents.
All Hannah wanted for Christmas was a dress. She got her wish!

We were able to go hear Elena's class do a concert for us. It was just the 1st grade class singing for us, and then we got to help them....no watch them....at their Christmas party.
All the students have "big buddies" that are in 4th grade and this year Elena's big buddy got her a Christmas present. She was more than thrilled.
This is Hannah at her Christmas party. They made 5 crafts then had a huge buffet of food. She was not very happy with mommy when I asked her to stop eating and pose. This is the best smile I could get.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!




Girl's Day Out

The girls and I got to go on a date and see the Nutcracker ballet. It was fun to get
all dressed up together. Hannah's response to the ballet: It was only a little boring. Her
dancer was the little girl Claire because her dress was like Cinderella. Elena's response:
I wish I could do the splits like those girls. Her favorite was the grown up ballerina "Claire"
in her sparkling white dress. She did ask about half way through why the men didn't have any pants on. :-)
