Tutu & bun, but not very fun....

December at our home is going great!  I love that it is cold outside.  I love that Paul is on break from school. I love the smell of our live Christmas tree.  And a delicious candle burning in my kitchen.  It's nice to see friends, and family, and go shopping!  Sadly, i have been not taking pictures of anything  :(  Bummer.
But, Brightlie did participate in her very 1st dance recital yesterday!  It was so adorable... she stood up there with her adorable leotard and tutu, hair and makeup done... the teacher introduced the class... the music began.... AND............................ Yep, B got stage fright.  She started screaming/crying and ran off the stage/dance floor.  So, i really didn't get any video or pics.  She refused to go back up there, poor thing was scared to death with all those people watching.  I felt bad, and sad, and a little mad (she did so awesome during the practice) and then my wise hubby reminds me that she just turned 2 years old.  It helped me gain a better perspective  :)  And helped me realize that as a mommy, i needed to be a little more understanding, smile, and tell her that she did great.  We love our little dancer and hope that her next recital goes a little bit better!

oh, and ps. - MERRY CHRISTMAS!
