December is Here

December has been a busy month but also full of lots of fun.
 One of Chesney's dance competition costumes arrive.  Lots of sparkle on this one.
 This is what happens when you take Mackston shopping.  He insists on photos.
 These boys!
 Mackston helped decorate one of the trees.
 
 Daddy and the boys started building a fort in the playroom.
 Our elf, Jolly, was up to some funny business.
 
 We walked with our school in the Jolly Jingle parade.
 
 
 
 The boys are putting the new fort to good use.
 The boys are really big helpers with baking. They love to be taste testers.
We are looking forward to lots of time with family in the coming weeks.

Dupree Dance

Chesney competed in her first competition of the season and participated in the dance convention over the weekend. It was a long but fun weekend of dance.
 Dinner the first night with two teammates and their moms.
Chesney's big sister Grace was so sweet and brought her a basket of goodies with a letter wishing her good luck this season.
 
 Saturday morning was dance classes from 7:45 to 12:45.  Then the afternoon was getting ready to perform with a performance at 6:00.
 Ready to perform her "Jump Around" routine.
 
 Chesney's big sister from last year, Emma.  She always been Chesney's biggest cheerleader. 
The whole gang came to cheer on Chesney and her team.
 Practicing their dance with their coach. Coach Megan is the best!
 
 
 
 Their performance was amazing and earned them a double platinum score and 2nd place overall!  That's a pretty big deal since they only started this dance number 2 months ago.  Many of the teams used dances from last season for the competition.
 
 Yeah girl, you rocked it!
 
 Sunday was classes from 7:45 to 2:30 and included a parent and me class.
 
 We learned a dance for "Monster Mash".  I give this girl some mad props.  Dancing is hard work!
 
 Dupree was a blast, and we couldn't be more proud of Chesney and her team.
