a star is born

so....for the past three days marley's dance school has gone to three different assisted living facilities to dance.  and for the past three days marley has been the only one from her class to show.  so for the past three days marley has rocked a solo in front of some rather large crowds of strangers.  girlfriend LOVES the stage.

with the others from her dance school

hamming it up for the crowd

no fear from this one.  she was there to put on a show, so she did.

inspecting the light

 we decorated our tree the other day.  well, we at least put up all the special ornaments.  but then marley lost her attention span, so we still need to put all the balls and stuff on.  but it'll get there.  it looks pretty now.

look who's big enough for a high chair?!  she loved it.

being a big helper already

the chef

 today was cookie decorating day at granny's.  we made lots and lots of yummy sugar cookies.

it's hard work being a baker. 

a little icing for santa, a little icing for marley.

and a whole hell of a lot of sprinkles.  oopsie.  never turn your back on a toddler with sprinkles.

"what the hell is this thing?!"

marls showing off her dancing chicken to davis.

 marley still loves to dance with this chicken.  i sure am glad it lives at granny's house. 

for the love of boxes

 marls has played with these boxes for the past week.  for hours on end.  who needs expensive toys? 

after her final solo

we have had a super busy week.  but a fun one.  i can't believe christmas is next weekend already!  i guess i need to finish making everyone's presents.  =)
