Sadie Gets Glasses!

So just when I thought I had passed my amazing eyesight on to at least 1 of my 4 children we find out that Sadie needs glasses just like the other 3 kids.  I was so disappointed but she was so excited.  She bugged me every day asking if her glasses were done yet.  After her relentlessly bugging me about it, I picked them up and she got what she has wanted for years - GLASSES!  She looks really cute and she absolutely loves them.  I guess I don't know what it is like to have to wear glasses so it doesn't excite me to get them.  I just know they cost a lot of money and will continue to cost a lot of money for the rest of their lives.  I'm am thankful that she can see good now!

Christmas Day 2012

The only thing Carson really wanted for Christmas.  He is not much of a gamer but has spent some time in front of the TV this Christmas holidays.

Christmas Eve

We had a really fun Christmas this year at Grandma and Grandpa Gibbs. The whole Gibb Family was home for Christmas and the house was crazy but fun.

Kailey adoring her new PJ's.  This is a huge deal for me to finally hit the spot with Kailey liking something that I give her.  Actually I have to give props to Grandma. She is the one that found these PJ's for Kailey.

Sadie was pretty excited about her new PJ's as well.  Can you tell?

Cousins - nothing more fun than spending Christmas with cousins (Jaden, Sadie, and Calli)

 I think they liked the gifts.

Sadie's Christmas Dance Performance

Sadie had her Christmas Dance Performance this last weekend.  Her troupe group performed 3 numbers and then the whole troupe of about 60 kids performed a finale that was over 11 minutes long.  It was amazing.  It is fun to watch all of these girls grow up together and improve their dance technique each year.  They are a fun group of girls!  The white costume is their lyrical dance and the other group photo is their circus dance with tight rope walkers, lions, and ring masters.  It was a really cute dance to music from the movie Water for Elephants.

Carson Getting Down!

Found this picture of Carson getting down at the ward Valentines dance.  The girls look impressed.  It makes me laugh.  I wasn't there to see the show but Carson has always loved to dance!
