More Snow Fun

Keiko took the video in our backyard.

Christmas Morning

The kiddos were so excited Christmas morning. The opened presents before church. They're still bleary eyed and their hair is a mess, but they had so much fun, and Dan and I had a great time watching them!

Snow Videos

We went to Northview Park today and built a luge with a tunnel. It was so much fun. I even gave it a try, but I was too big. I got stuck. Here are some clips of today's fun.

Lakeville vs. Apple Valley

Jack is number 7 in red. His goal celebration is hilarious.

3rd Grade Concert

Keiko's class held a music concert at school. We all went to watch. Keiko sang all the songs while barely moving her mouth. They all did some cute dance moves too. Keiko was very serious, but she knew all the words.

Whoa! Snow!

This is a picture of my back door. It was still snowing then, so it did get deeper. Jack and Keiko were walking to the neighbors house and it was about waist deep on little Keiko. Didn't stop them from playing outside all day. I guess that is just what the kids do up here. As you can see, Dudley prefers to stay indoors.

Christmas Ballet Dance

Midori is in the back row toward the right. You can see her clearly between the other dancers. If you switch the quality on the bottom of the video to 720p, you can really see her face when she circles to the front. Also, you can click the YouTube symbol in the botton of the video to watch it on YouTube. There you can watch it full screen.

More Dance

I just can't get enough of Midori's dance class. We had to return the rental costumes today, so our class took this last opportunity to take some pictures. Click photo once to view it large, then click it again to zoom in.

Christmas Show

Midori's class did two performances today with two dances each. The had ballet first and then tap dance. She did really well. She was in the back row for both dances so it was hard to get good pictures, but I was able to capture a few.

A Sneak Peek

Midori had her dress rehearsal for ballet and tap tonight. Here she is in her dress. Her performance is on Saturday morning.

Midori Skiing

Midori is such a little snow bunny! We've been skiing almost everyday. The hill is about 3 minutes from our house. We all just love skiing, but I love watching Midori ski too. First she skis a few runs and then it's hot chocolate time in the chalet. Mmmm.
