Randoms just before Christmas

 Andrea loves to play outside even when it's freezing.  Maybe it's because she is dressed so darn cute in her snow clothes!

I teach Ballet/Jazz at Rubio Shoes Studio.  This is one of my cute little dancers.  I work for Miss Amber, who is on the left.  She is such a fantastic person and an amazing dance teacher. I have learned so much working and teaching with her.  These pictures were taken after their Christmas Recital which my mom and Andrea (their foreign exchange student) came to as well as Steve.

 This is another one of my girls.  It's really fun to be able to teach dance, but it has made me realize that I love teaching for someone else, I don't know if I want to have my own studio, because there is so much work that goes into it. (Props to you Markell.)

 Andrea in her CUTE Pig tails!  Oh, I love it!

 Andrea's huge monkey, that she sleeps with, has velcro on the hands and feet, so I can velcro it around her neck for a big hug.  She loves it.  She'll walk around with the monkey hanging from her neck.  Those cute leggings are from her Grandma Bentz.

 Just before we left for the holidays we went on a Christmas date.  One of my dance student's (well really her mom) gave me a $25 gift card to Texas Road House, so we went out to dinner as a family.  Andrea got to sit in her own little booster seat.  She loved it, Mommy didn't love it so much. :-)  She was all over the place. She didn't stay in that chair long.  But, it was super cute to see her all grown up and looking at the menu all by herself.  In fact, reading the menu all by herself.  She is a very good at pretending. :-)  Really, she just loves to talk!

 So, cute!

 After dinner we went to a house in Highland where the Christmas lights are choreographed to music.   You listen to the music on your radio and watch the lights from within your car.  We waited in line for quite a while, so we had lots of fun in the car while waiting.  Andrea drove the car, looked out the sun roof, and touched all the buttons.

Touching all the buttons, lots of fun!
