Recital

Holiday Recital

Katrina and Sloan

Fat momma and Sloan

Hey, it's the famous "Hi mom!", moment.

The final bow

Sloan and Hailey, they are in class together.

The girls were in an Orient themed dance. They were Oriental candy cane dancers. Sloan is the one one the far right in the picture and the video above. The video is pretty choppy, thats because I filmed it on my digital camera.

Part of the finale

The recital was so great, the girls did so well. Mrs. Kathrine is such an awesome teacher. She is very creative and good with the girls. I always look forward to these recitals. She does them twice a year. It's also fun to see all the little one's I used to teach at FBCC. The recitals are always at the Museum of fine art here in Reno. It is a lovely venue and the perfect size for the performance. Every year Sloan gets better at dancing. I look forward to the next few years of dancing with Mrs. Kathrine.

Dinner with friends

Megan, Brent, Brian, Sloan, Dean, and Zoe

We had lunch at BJ's, it's a brewery and a restaurant all in one. They have the yummiest most awesomist food. It was good to see Brent and Megan and Brian. They are such nice friends.

The lost week...Or The lost week in a half, or whatever

Just a quick apology for the lack of entries the past little bit. Things have been a wee bit crazy around here. First little Sloan was sick, she had strep throat. Then Zoe came down with strep. Last but definitely not least Aris has been teething and caught a mild cold. BY THE WAY SHE CUT HER FIRST TOOTH! AWESOME! So when people come over it sort of sounds like we have the plague. Every small child is coughing and hacking and of course the, need I say it? Well I will anyway, the snot. All different colors. Zoe is even getting in the holiday spirit with hers and decided to let her snot turn a nice shade of green. Way to go with the holiday spirit Zoe!
Well aside from all of the sickness we have been slowly but surely getting ready for the holidays and our trip to San Diego. Dean and I were able to go on a date tonight thanks to a very sweet lady at church. Sister Leech came over and watched the girls for us (yes I warned her that we had the plague) we were able to get almost all of our Christmas shopping done.
I am going to post some pictures from the last little while and hopefully upload a video of Sloan's wonderful little dance recital that she was in today. She practiced so hard and she did such a great job. Hope you guys are all enjoying the holiday season.
P.S. Feel free to leave comments if you want

Sick Chickens

Well last but not least all my sick little chickens are in bed. I keep waiting for someone to get mad or cry however for the moment I will just bask in the silence of a quiet home, Christmas lights, and Christmas carols playing softly in the background. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little easier for all the Swanson family. Untill then, sleep well.
