Thanksgiving Concert

Being that Sydney is in Kindergarten, they have not only a Christmas Concert, but a Thanksgiving Concert. The Thanksgiving concert was for the Kindergarten class only. The kids in the class dressed up as pilgrims and Indians. Sydney was a pilgrim, she is at the very far left, last kid in the row. Her pilgrim hat is so big you can't even see her face. They sangs 3 songs, told a story and sat in a circle and told each other what they are thankful for. Once they were done, the kids continued to sit in a circle and they were given a snack, which was made up of all the different things the kids brought in for their feast. It was really cute and fun.

Christmas Pictures with cousins

Every year we set out to have "Cousin" pictures taken with all my mom's (Donna) grandchildren. Ashlee, Sydney, Dillon, Brenden, Hailey, and Ethan all together. This is always a major feat. Mom buys all the grand kids matching outfits and they are dressed to the nine's. There is always one child in the group that acts out, which last year it was Dillon. Well low and behold this year it was my child, little Hailey. She did not want anything to do with sitting next to anyone, candy, singing, Mickey Mouse(which is her favorite right now and should be a no brain-er, she'd cooperate with Mickey!) but nothing worked. So Mom wound up with pictures of everyone minus Hailey. After the kids took pictures we headed off to see Santa. Sydney and Hailey were all about it until Hailey got close to Santa and ran for the hills. Sydney took a picture with Ashlee and Santa. So cute. Santa was so patient and listened to everything the girls told him. Santa at Stoneridge Mall is the best!
