Christmas 2007

We had a pretty low key Christmas this year. The Berridge extended family came over on Sunday for a while.
On Monday I found I only had to work half the day so I ran home and picked up the girls and drove to Auburn for the Duford family party at the Doty's. I haven't been able to make that since before Rick and I got married, so it was fun to surprise everyone and see some cousins, aunts and uncles that I haven't seen in a while, plus introduce Maggie to some more family.

Christmas Day was a flurry of unwrapping with all the kids and Aubrey, followed by a very relaxing day. The girls and I went bowling.

And would you believe I didn't take any pictures!

Deck the Halls

Our tree is somewhat bare this year due to a temporary house guest. Katie's kitten, Furgie, has been with us since Thanksgiving. She is quite a character and very playful. She LOVES the Christmas tree and will immediately climb up and start batting at anything hung on it. That means nothing breakable this year.

We have been provided with tons of entertainment 'kitty fishing'. Rick bought some little catnip mice and hooks one up to Maggie's fishing pole. Furgie loves it!

She did it!

BODY LANGUAGE DANCE COMPANY IS THE BEST!!






Miss Casie got noisemakers for the kids and brought in markers, posterboard and all kinds of decorations for the studio.



















J.P. forgot that he needed to be there early, but showed up after a reminder phone call and loaned his shoes to Carter.

Thanks J.P.!

Miss Katy taught Carter a few basic steps, then taught them both a short routine to a Christmas song by Run D.M.C.


The audience voted....
