New New year's tradition

We had so much fun with Sponge Bob that I think we'll do it every year! Good times!

You can't see the wound too well. According to Aleah, she received this from Nani crashing the umbrella in her eye. She wanted a pic. to show Grandma and Grandpa.

Elf yourself

For our ward Christmas party we had a talent show. As a family we tried to do the Elf yourself e-card. You know what I'm talking about, right? Where the elves dance around with killer moves? With sweet Christmas music? If not, google it. (too lazy to link it myself)

Anyway, I snapped this pic while we were trying to practice. Crazy little elf girls!

(Shaz: I didn't make the outfits, just added to some regular clothes. Girls had the skirts, bought the socks, some clearance shirts that are inside out with a felt collar sewn on, belts we made out of felt and some trim, and the hats were from last year's Christmas pjs.)

Too bad we don't have a pic with all of us.

Oh, it didn't go so well at the talent show. Aleah decided she didn't want to do it and clung on the Matthew. Which means Matthew couldn't really dance, even though he tried. He flung Aleah around because she was attached to his leg. Apparently that was the best part of our 50 sec show. Nani tried, it was hard to keep up . Which left me dancing like a fool by myself and trying to help Nani.

We were going to try it over the break with family so they could record it for us, but the weather conditions didn't give us a chance.

Oh well, maybe next year.

Last thing, Matthew was a good sport! He really didn't want to dress up as an elf!
