The past week was a rough one. My face is on the mend; however, it still really hurts to wipe my nose and my nose has needed wiping. The Golden Girls sold $300 in candy grams which was a huge success in my mind. We were hoping for $100. This afternoon Lani and McCall came over and we all put them together and sorted them by teacher and have them all ready to go!! What a relief to have my fundraiser done!!
Saturday brought Maddie's dance performance at the Christmas festival here on the Island. She really likes being in the company at her new studio and looks forward to competing. She likes the team feeling!! She performed two dances and looked just beautiful. This one is my favorite!
They do a little kick line in the jazz dance.
Here is the entire company, the teachers, and Santa.
Maddie and Degas have been dancing together since they were three years old. 
While we were watching the dancing, Morgan was at work toasting buns. Some of her friends came by and left their calling card on her car windows. Every window was covered. They even got the sun roof!! It says "We got even got this!" She was actually quite thrilled and can't wait to drive it to school. We had her clean the windshield to be able to drive.
After work, Morgan, Travis, and Tara ran a nighttime 5K. The route was lined with luminaries. She really enjoyed this one. Her finishing time was 3 minutes faster than her last race. She really liked this tshirt.
That concludes this past weekend's activities. It will be another crazy week, but after that - VACATION!!
A shout out to my sister who is 43 today. It will always be memorable because there was this crazy blizzard, church was cancelled, and the Metrodome roof collapsed and there are super cool videos of the collapse. Happy birthday, Sara.

Lots of good pictures! Maddie sure is looking young-womanly!
Congratulations to Morgan and Travis for running a race! That would have been so pretty to run a race lined with luminaries.
Thanks for the shout-out!
Love the blog... glad you are on the mend!
Everyone looks happy and healthy!
I don't miss those Minnesotan blizzards.. not even a tiny bit.
Word verification: tedelize... what is that? a cross between tedious and I don't know what! lol
So glad to hear that you are doing better. Wow, to see Maddie now as a dancer is such a difference from the little preschooler I watched in her dance program about 7 years ago. She's so grown up and beautiful now (not that she wasn't gorgeous before).
I'm so glad I finally got to hear the whole story about your fall. Wow, what are the odds of something like that happening--and especially when a camera is rolling? This will be an experience you will certainly never forget in your teaching career! Sounds like your kids are keeping really busy, too. That is great! I love it when kids are doing constructive, good things in their lives!
