Thanksgiving

Presley spent Thanksgiving week busy with preparations...







She was so excited for Thanksgiving to come, but by the time it rolled around the flu bug was starting to set in and she looked like this...


Eventually she cheered up a little, but I didn't quite get the family picture I was hoping for.
Oh well, good enough!

Here's a couple of other cute ones from our fun day at Uncle Marks.











And what would Thanksgiving be without at least one or two food pictures. I tried out a new pie recipe. Pecan on top...

Brownie on the bottom...


YUM!

Remember that cupcake...




I posted pictures of the cupcake Presley so proudly earned after her dance recital. I thought I better document that she did thoroughly enjoy it!

A Little Bit of Gray...






This boy is getting so smiley and talkative. I can't get enough him!

Unreal!

Watch this. It's worth it. And don't skip the ending.

Prima Ballerina

Presley had her first little dance show last night! Her studio performed at the festival of trees. She has only been to a few classes so far, so let's just say it was 'interesting.' Hopefully I'll have a video posted later to show what I mean.

She was so excited about it all and I think it turned out to be everything she was hoping for!
She had support from Mimi & Papa.

Even Minnie Mouse came out to cheer her on!
By far the best part of the night for Presley was hanging out in the 'warm up room' backstage. She had so much fun running around and dancing. I'm so glad she has her sweet cousin Adley to enjoy this all with!

Practicing backstage.
Love the eyes. She's spotting already!

She loved that she got to bring her ballerina bear backpack.


She liked posing like this. (The end from her routine.)
Getting set up on stage.
This is how the class ended up doing the entire dance...on their knees...pretty funny!
Heading back to the warm up room.
When I got backstage to pick her up she came running to me and gave me a huge hug and yelled "I DID IT!! Now I get a cupcake!" Although she didn't technically do the dance (you'll see what I mean in the video) I was so proud of her for just going out there by herself and she was so proud of herself she was beaming...
So of course we went and picked up one of these...
and one of these...
and one of these...
oh yeah, and also one of these...
YUM!

And I'll give you one guess where we headed next...







I know, we are so predictable. But what can I say, the girl likes her ice cream!
