almost over...

Last night went great! We got to the theater around, 2:45 call time was 3:00, and everything went fantastic. The shows were great! Lauren only had 1 hour between between last nights two shows to scarf down some food and get back into costume. We have send a great big thank you to all the wonderful people who have come out to see the show and support our little Lauren! Thursday Paige brought her daughters Heather and Nicole, Friday first show our whole family came! Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Brad and Aunt Anna, Hailey and Daddy! Friday second show Madison and Valerie (our neighbors) came as well as Alicia and Cailey (Cailey and Lauren took a hip hop class together last year!) and today Lauren's friend Amelia is coming with her mom and Bonnie and Mark are bringing their boys, Connor and Alex!

Lauren has felt so special having so much support from family and friends! It has been wonderful. Her last show is today at 12:30 and then, well, I have no idea what she is going to do with all the extra time on her hands! I am afraid it is sort of going to be like a Holiday let down..."now what do I do?" kind of feeling? Well, Lauren honey, you can start getting ready for Peter Pan in June!!!

We are going to buy our Christmas Tree today (always live never fake!!) and will put it up and string the lights tonight then let the girls help to decorate it tomorrow! I am really looking forward to that! Monday I need to CLEAN MY HOUSE...OMG it has suffered a major blow this week! I have managed to keep the bathrooms clean and the floors vacuumed but the CLUTTER, oh my the clutter.

I took some pictures of Hailey in her beautiful Christmas dress yesterday but those will have to wait to post. For now, I leave you with the flowers Grandma and Grandpa gave Lauren on opening night.

Loved seeing Lauren in the Nutcracker. She has been mesmerized by it every year we take her to see it. Never moves an inch through the show. How special for her to have all her hard work pay off and perform in a real ballet. She was so precise in her routines. Of course, Grams thinks she was the best one out there doing her parts!! :)
