Gingerbread Spongebob?

Look, I appreciate all this Christmas-themed art. I'm just really confused how a pineapple under the sea can be made with gingerbread. 

Christmas #2

On Christmas Eve, we all helped Grandmom Shane put the baby Jesus into his manger ...

Then listened to Pop read "Twas the night before Christmas" ...

And woke up to a ton more presents! Not only were there presents from Santa, but also Mom and Dad and Grandmom and Pop and Aunt Kate and Tommy and Shane and ...

I even got some fabulous new dress up clothes! Only 364 days left until we do it again!

Christmas #1

For some families, one Christmas isn't enough. So we had a weekend celebration with Grandmom Linda's family before we had the whole Santa Claus experience on the 25th. That meant catching up with our cousins for the annual seven-fishes feast: 

And then presents at Grandmom's the next morning: 

Some might say that's enough celebration for the whole holiday season. They'd be wrong, but it was awesome fun. 

Chilling with Pop

The thing is, he's super warm to sit with. 

Winter dance recital 2018

After months of practice, my friends and I had our annual winter dance recital today. And we killed it, thank you very much. 

Here we are doing the formal dance portion of our program: 

And here we are being a little sillier:

And, finally, here's our free form dance: 

I sorta turned that last one more into a full stage performance, but Miss Heather didn't seem to mind. Sometimes you just gotta go with where the music moves you. 

Church pageant

Church had a surprise Christmas pageant today, and they needed a few extra performers who could play angels. I mean, could you say no to me? 

The part had less dancing than I usually prefer in my roles, but I figure any stage time is good practice for my future art. Not picking up the baby Jesus doll was tricky, but I had to set a good example for the more junior actors. Next year, I'm gonna ask for a speaking part. And more dancing. 

So ready for Christmas

So, so ready. 

Santa's helpers

My cub scout troop wrapped up gifts for the needy at our meeting on tonight. Getting presents is a ton of fun, but helping other people with friends by your side is pretty awesome too. 

Christmas decorating!

We got out Christmas tree and Christmas village up this weekend. This place is ready for some holiday cheer now. 

Of course, you can't really decorate a Christmas tree right without some dancing. 

Fancy pants brunch

Grandmom Doyle took us out for a neverending Sunday brunch today on Baltimore harbor. Jonathan loved the view of the water all around us. I loved the view of the bacon. 

More dancing time

I just can't keep it in. 

Happy birthday, Dad!

Well, are you gonna cut into this football cake or what?
