Breakfast with Santa, Christmas Ballet, and Weekend with GG & Grandma

This year, at Sonshine School PTO, I helped with Breakfast with Santa. I think things like this make me realize that I should keep saying "no" to volunteering. It was fine, but our crew was small and there was lots of work and sometimes I really just want to attend events and not help run them. I'm getting better at this though! It was a super successful event for our school though and we made over $4,000! But, I'm glad I'm not on PTO next year. I need a break! However, with Mom & GG also in town, we all attended Breakfast with Santa at Sonshine School. We did crafts, ate breakfast, shopped, and saw Santa for pictures. And, we got it all done before we re-grouped and headed to Grace's dance performance at George Bush Library!

 Dani & Grace - best buddies!

 This little one loved playing in reindeer food!

 My big kid!

Grace's preschool ballet and tap class did a Christmas performance at George Bush Library again this year. I was so proud of her again for being so brave. She was hesitant for me to leave her backstage, but her sweet friend, Brynn, made it better! She danced beautifully and had a great time. Also, since it was SO packed and crazy last year to watch because of all of the people, Vic decided to keep Everly and Grace home and just watch the video. So, only Grace, Grandma, GG and I went and it was a special day for our Gracie Bug! Also, I am always impressed at Grace - she is just a fast learner with dance and wants to do a good job so she learns the moves (as good as any 4 year old) and does a good job. I'll post the video here too: https://youtu.be/7cER60YfMxw

Brynn & Grace; Brynn will also be in Kindergarten with Grace this year at Pebble Creek!

 
The staff took this photo and posted it on FB; I think Grace is just so beautiful!

 Grace got a balloon made - a heart, of course!

 She was just the cutest, tiniest little ballerina and I loved it!

 Santa was also at the George Bush Library, so she talked to him again that day! And she wasn't even scared to do it without Atticus!

 My beautiful little girl!

 On the way home, we celebrated and brought sno-cones home for everyone!

 And then we spent the rest of hte afternoon outside; Grandma threw the football with Atticus and Everly went sliding down the slide!

On Sunday, we took Grandma and GG to our church at FBC Bryan. I don't like missing services during the holiday season so I was glad we got to go! Then, we did a little shopping at the craft fair in town and then GG and Grandma headed home!
