Dance Recital

By
We had the girls first dance recital this past weekend! After almost an entire year of dance (combo for Evie, princess ballet for Nora), now was the time to finally show off what they'd learned! 

All smiles backstage before the show
Evie did great. She was super excited for the performance and buzzing around with her friends before the show. We coached Evie on smiling and doing big movements so that people sitting at the bach of the theater could also see her. Considering her bored expressions during school performances, I think she did awesome at this recital!

Here's her routine. She's the one all the way on the left:


Nora on the other hand....
This little girl did great during the rehearsal, In fact, she was on one of the better behaved of the kids up on stage. 
  
On the day of the performance though, it was another story! Apparently, Nora hurt her hand on a door on the way to the stage and ending up crying and refused to go on. If you ask Evie, she'll tell you that she thinks Nora got scared because Evie went on stage during her routine and Nora didn't realize she had left the kids room. In any case, Nora recovered enough that she was able to walk on stage for the final curtain call. So, at least, she went on stage and heard applause! haha.

I don't have a video of the day-of-performance (I stopped taping when I realized she wasn't on stage), but I did capture the dress rehearsal:

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
