Christmas Time = School Performances!

Happy Christmas from the Lawson's!

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings we attended different performances at our girls' school.

Tuesday night all 3 girls danced.

Wednesday Haley had a band concert and Lindsay sang with her kindergarten class.

Thursday night Nat was in a musical theater performance.

Here you go:

Lindsay was a doll for her dance number!
It began by the daddies bringing out the "Dolls" onto the stage.
Look how droopy and doll-like Linds is!
Then another daddy had a big key and "wound up" all the dolls!



Getting ready to be a doll.

This dance was so cute, Linds did a fantastic job. She kept her arms stiff and she really looked like a little doll! A few times she looked like she was doing the Robot!


Next up:

Haley!

Doing a really cool number... very modern!

(I made this skirt. All the girls in this dance came up with their own costumes, Haley and I designed this one)

These girls did such a great job!

Smile!

This kid loves to dance, she's been doing it nonstop since she was 4.


Next up:

Natalie is taking Polynesian Dance. She loves it and loves her teacher (who is in our ward and is our neighbor!)

She is so good. She is great on the poi's.

(hey, I made this skirt, too!)

Very graceful and smooth!

I should have made her skirt fuller!

Next time..

Great job, Nat!

My YW.

I was released as YW's president this past Sunday.

I am not very happy about it! I love these girls so much.

I will miss them dearly and loved having 2 full years as their leader!

These girls rock! Seriously, they are such a tight group of girls, all friends and all very sweet to one another.

I'll miss working with my amazing presidency, too.

:(

Wed. Night:

Lindsay and her pals getting ready to go on stage for their first song.

Look at the cute twins on either side! These 3 totally love each other!

"Silent Night" using Sign Language.

It was very sweet.

Doing such a good job!

Next up:

The flute master!

These guys were pretty good!

I love band concerts!

Did everyone see the moon last Friday?

It was the closest to the Earth in many years and it won't be this close again for another 20 or so years!

It was crazy bright!!!



Thurs. Night

Warning, my camera sucks:

Nat, the little one with a red sweater, white shirt!

This was a musical theater performance and it was awesome!
It was called:

"The X-Mas Files"

Nat sang and danced and did great!

*phew*

That's it!

We had a fun week of Lawson girls performances.

I love our school and all the fun things they have the kids doing!

Merry Christmas!

Did you know that I have a big sister.....

...... and that she's a grandma?!

This beautiful picture is of my sister Laura and her husband Kari at Kari's son, Eric's, wedding!

Also included are Wendy, Eric's bride, and his brother Greg. My sister's children are Alex, Graciela and Giuli.

Now, a few years after this wedding came a wonderful surprise!

Weston!

That is how my big sister became a grandma! Even though she doesn't look a day over 30! :)

Baby Weston has brought so much joy to this family!

Here is Grandpa Kari holding his first grand baby.

Fun stuff, huh?
Now you know about my big sister Laura!
She is also known as the "Horsie Auntie" since she has 5 acres in CA with several horses. She boards them and has many of her own, even cute, miniature horses. Natalie, of course, loves going out to her property to ride! (Dulce is her favorite)
