Start of Caden's Basketball and December Activites

Annabelle kicked off December with a birthday party for her friend Laura Darley at the American Girl Doll Bistro.  Annabelle and Violet wore matching monogrammed dresses.

 

The girls lined up with their dolls: Adelaide Breed, Khloe Jensen, Laura Darley, Kaylee McDonald, and Annabelle.

 

The next day Annabelle and I went to see Dallas Ballet Company's production of The Nutcracker.  Several of her friends were in it.  This was our third year to go, and she just loves it.  

We headed straight from The Nutcracker to Caden's first basketball game.  Caden driving with the ball.

Caden's had three games so far.  Here is Caden shooting a free throw in a different game.

Covenant Christmas Chapel is always a special night.  I forgot to take a family picture.  Here's a pic of Annabelle with her friend Zoey Seale. 

 

Annabelle and the rest of the first graders sang, "Nowell, Nowell, Nowell".  She's third from the right on the back row in this picture.  

 

Caden and the third graders sang "One Small Child".  Caden is on the far left on the second row.  

 

Caden performed "Silent Night" at his Christmas piano recital.  A family picture before the recital.

My tennis team had a play day with our husbands. The tennis pro doesn't know how to focus a camera :(.

 

The first graders had an outreach project where they visited a retirement home.  The kids singing carols.
