Nutcracker, Wrestling and Cotillion...

Whew....we had a busy weekend. First, was Saturday night, the girls and I went to the Macaroni Grill for dinner and then we went to see the Nutcracker. This was Lucy's first year and she was so excited. She couldn't wait to see the ballerinas. It was a late night, but we had a great time. I hope to continue this tradition with the girls for years to come. Jeff, Jack and Eugene had a boys night, they went to see the movie 2012.

Jack had his first ever wrestling tournament on Sunday morning. He did great...he ended up getting 3rd place and a ribbon. He was so proud of himself. He asked if there was another tournament next weekend. :)

Way to go Jack!!!!!!

Olivia has been attending Cotillion for the past 6 weeks and tonight was the finale. This is when the parents get to come and see what the kids have learned. We signed Olivia up, back in September and she was really upset with us and did not want to go. She told Kimmy, (our dear sweet teenage neighbor) and Kimmy kept telling Olivia she was so lucky to be able to go to Cotillion and that she had always wanted to go.

Last week at Cotillion they told the kids they could bring their parents to the finale and also a friend....well, guess who Olivia invited? Yes, Kimmy! Kimmy was thrilled to go with us and she even came early to help Olivia get ready.

All smiles for Cotillion
