What A Sweet Bunch

What a sweet family!

Winterfest Dance Recital

 December 9th Dylan had her Winterfest dance recital at the Seattle Center.  It was a big deal!  She was very excited and so was I as I hadn't gone into labor yet and was able to make it!  The kiddo's got to dance at the Seattle Center Stage in the food court.  It was a big turn out of folks including Uncle Ben, Auntie Liz, Jackson, G-ma Melvene and G-pa Rick, and Auntie Beans.  Dylan's group was third to perform but it didn't stop her from standing on the side of the stage cheering and telling all the other dancers "nice job."

After the performance Dylan got two bouquets of flowers - oh the smile on her face!

Here's some pictures outside running around with cousin Jackson.

And a great one of her running through Seattle Center caring her flowers.

Oh have I ever mentioned how I think Dylan will be a street performer later in life.  She's always been fascinated  by them.  Here she is doing a little performance all on her own out in front of EMP, which made for a great back drop.

And here's an additional performance - this one being more of a running piece which she did four or five times!

Fabulous job Dylan - we are all so proud of you!!!  It takes a big girl to get up in front of all those people and dance your heart out!  You are awesome and I'm soo soo soo happy I got to see you dance.  And thank you to all that came out to watch.

Dylan came up with a great adventure for us one day.  She suggested taking the Water Taxi from West Seattle to downtown and the riding the Ferris Wheel.  She showed us the way - including finding the right dock, getting tickets and where to sit on the boat!  She was a true Julie McCoy.

After the Ferris Wheel we went into the Arcade for a little ride on the carousel.

Then we headed to Pike Place Market.  Dylan stopped this awesome balloon artist - he can make over 250 animals!  Dylan choose a mermaid and sure enough he made one - totally made her day.

 It was a quick but fabulous visit - so happy to have Uncle C and Auntie D out!  Just hope we didn't exhaust them too much!  Every morning Dylan would wake up and announce she was going downstairs to wake them up.  She LOVED having her Uncle and Auntie out and is already planning their next visit!
