Layton City Lights

 One week before Christmas, we headed to see the city lights. We had a busy holiday and did not get to all our own normal traditions this year but I am glad we made it to one. 

Thanksgiving

I forgot to post about Thanksgiving. We had some kids with the stomach flu at our house. We were able to spend the afternoon and evening with the Hendricks side of the family. 
 

18 Months

 Savannah is 18 month old! Which also means that she was able to start nursery yesterday. She did not cry so that is a plus but I am not sure that she loved being away from Dad during church. We love our caboose! 

Nutcracker

 Dear Lily Hendricks,

Congratulations!  You have been cast as a Party Girl in the 2022 Ballet West production of The Nutcracker. 

Please be aware there is a great deal of information you need to know as a cast member.  America’s First Nutcracker choreographed by Willam Christensen in 1944, Ballet West’s production is the only continuously performed Nutcracker in the United States. 

 It all started on September 9th, when Lily decided she wanted to try out for Ballet West's Nutcracker. The letter above is what she received when she was casted as a party girl. She worked for 11 weeks to get ready for the show.

On November 25th, she had her first performance in Ogden. She had four shows the first weekend. Ryan and his parents were able to see the show there. 

Then she performed four shows the first weekend in December in SLC. I was able to see her along with my mom, Laura, Ashley, Lili and Devon. She was amazing and she was able to make some good friends along the way. 

Zoo

 This past Wednesday, I took Weston and Savannah to the Hogle Zoo. It was a chilly morning but the kids had fun seeing the different animals and being outside. 

Thanksgiving Point

 At the beginning of the month, the kids had a day off from school. We went to see the butterflies at Thanksgiving Point. Then we went and had dinner with family.
