The Dancing Sugarplums

Last Monday we attended the kids' winter dance recital. There are a few things you need to know before you watch the following videos:
1. Bean is quite a bit older than the other girl in her class. She is not just a giant.
2. Yes, Patrick does wear underwear.
3. Whitney is in a dance class, but they decided her class wouldn't perform in this recital. So she got to fill the role of cheerleader this time.
4. The video of Samantha is not posted here because Blogger is not being nice. I will keep trying.
5. I would like for you to see these videos in full screen, but in order to do that I have to go through YouTube, which wouldn't allow me to post the videos with sound because of copyright laws. If you want to see all of them in full screen, sans sound, go here: My Videos

Go ahead and dance along with Patrick. I know you will want to.

Go Ninjas! Go Ninjas! Go!

On Christmas Eve, Whitney, Patrick and Samantha decorated cookies for Santa Claus.

Bean didn't want anything to do with it...

...at first.

Santa was so lucky to get the opportunity to eat those generous gobs of lard frosting. He had a bit of a stomach ache when he went to bed...

But the kids must have been good, because they got what they asked for.

And one night after Santa slipped in to deliver presents, the Tooth Fairy had to pay a visit.
