Ready or Not?!

Tis' the Season for dance recitals. Jimmy & Tori have been attending a dance studio since August and have been preparing for their Christmas recital from the first day of class. Just a few days ago it was decided that the "All Boys Hip-Hop" class that Jimmy is a part of is ready to start performing at local venues. He was able to perform at the Jubilee of Trees last Saturday, and has a few more opportunities soon as his class will be performing at Christmas functions around town. Here is some brief information. I will post more definite information as I receive it.
1. Dickens Christmas Festival, Saturday, December 5th, 2:00pm: $3 kids/seniors & $5 adults
2. Tuacahn Christmas Festival, Saturday December 5th, 6:00pm and 7:00pm -Free-

The 'official' Dance Recital will be on Saturday, December 12th at Snow Canyon High School. Both Jimmy & Tori will be performing on this day. The recital will be from 5:00pm-6:00pm, there is no cost to attend.

It should be great fun to attend. See you there!

Halloween!



















Last year after an evening of successful trick-or-treating Jimmy exclaimed that he had just had the '....bestest day of his life!'. Ever since then, he has been consistent in stating that Halloween is his most favorite holiday.

This year Halloween was very busy. There were school class parties, dance class parties, friends & family parties, the annual school Spooktacular Halloween Carnival, and then of course, trick-or-treating.

Jimmy chose to be Darth Vadar for Halloween, which was easy, since he was Darth Vadar last year. BUT, Jimmy put an interesting twist on the idea, this year Jimmy did not want to wear the Darth Vadar mask, he wanted the mask off so everyone could see him showing the scary face of Darth Vadar. After patiently sitting through 2 hours of make-up construction Jimmy was able to see the results of his wish.

Tori wore 2 different costumes this year. Sometimes she chose to be a bumblebee and sometimes she chose to be a leopard. She had a lot of fun at the school carnival, especially with the hula hoops. On Halloween night she was asked if she would like to get her make-up done for her leopard costume.................she took one look at her brothers make-up and politely declined. :)
