This one is for Grandpa...

Hayli loves to sing her rainbow song for Grandpa.  This one is for you Grandpa...

North Pole Experience

FRIDAY

Opa, Oma, Daddy, Mommy, Hayli, & Hana went to the North Pole Experience for the first time today.  We had so much fun!

When we got to the workshop, the girls made donation bears with the elves.  I was so excited (and relieved) that Hayli and Hana gave up their own creations so willingly!  What good girls they are.  So cute!

Then it was time for Elf University (EU).  Hayli even rose her hand and got called on to answer a question! 

It was off to see Santa next!

On the way back to the lodge, Hayli volunteered to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for the entire bus!  She really is a true performer!

After the workshop, the girls sat with Mrs. Claus to read some stories before dinner.  What a fun time we all had.  It is going to be a definite family tradition.

SATURDAY

We had breakfast with Santa on Saturday.  It was so much fun, we hated to leave!

Hayli found Mrs. Claus' singing doggie... so funny!

On the way home, I was trying to teach Hana to say "Ho Ho Ho" and "Merry Christmas".  I think we still need to work on it a bit!

Hana's Characters

Hana is learning her cartoon characters... I love that most of the Mickey Mouse clan is Daisy Duck... and I love how she says Cinderella.

Soccer Bowling

Coach Eric had one last training for the girls.  Coach Eric had them practice indoors.  It was a nice change for the girls.  Hayli enjoyed the soccer bowling...

Summer Swim Highlights Part 2

Here are some more highlights... can't wait until next summer!

Hayli the Drum Major

Today Hayli, Hana, and I went to the New Mexico State University Pride music demonstration.  Hana was not a fan of the loud music (Hayli really wasn't either).  But they both enjoyed marching with our friend Amber.  After marching with the band, Hayli decided she wanted to be the drum major.  Can you believe she went up that high and actually conducted the band?  

 

Summer Swim Highlights Part 1

This summer we had a lot of fun swimming with Coach Yoona.  Here are some highlights from both girls.  Mommy is so proud of both of them.
