It has been a busy few days.

Quinn celebrated her 15th birthday!

The girls had their band performance on Quinn's birthday.

Thanks to Tara for helping Quinn with her drum part of the program.  

Had some fun family time.

More band picts.

Isaiah had some fun boy scout stuff.

Denali helping with one of the dance  classes.

We are so thankful for all the opportunities the kids have.

 

 The Christmas season is here and we are busy!  Good busy mostly!  We have some music concerts coming up that we are looking forward to.  Along with many fun things, Quinn's birthday, all kinds of good things.

We got the tree up, I need to get some picts of that.

We created our gingerbread houses, and reindeer, and had fun with that.

Our church got some busses and did a christmas light tour.

that was fun.  Thankfully the lift worked most of the time, we were not sure she would get off for a bit, but it worked out.

We were all there but I only got pictures of a few of us.

Isaiah was in charge of getting waters and snacks out to everyone.

He also got to pick the ugly sweater winners. 

He said he could not pick his family as it would not be fair.

Look at him being all fair! :)

He even wore some fun christmas attire, not because he really wanted to, but he did it. :)

That was a nice moment to have us all together.

It is our adoption day anniversary day today!

So thankful for our journey!

Quinn had her dance recital, and it was as beautiful as they all are.

So thankful for the teachers, the buddies and the girls and their families.

Denali was a buddy again this year.  Quinn was a dancer.

The foursome and their teacher.

Quinn and her buddy.

Denali and Justice, dancing with the senior girls.

So grateful!

 

Isaiah is now a boy scout.  He is figuring out what he wants to do and where he wants to be, so we are trying something else out.  Good for him for trying new things.

After Lily won Miss Amazing, a film crew filmed her for a bit and they filmed dance class and the foursome dance.  We learned a lot about the process of how documentaries work.

We have our recital next week, so that will be fun!

Denali and the troups walked in the Veteran Day Parade with Chase Dance.

Thank you Veteran's !

Thank you Chase Dance!

 

Miss Amazing was Saturday.

Girls and Women with disabilities get to spend the day doing crafts, meeting friends, 

interviewing, and having a pagent.

I am not really a padgent kind of person but this gives the girls confidence and acceptance and it is beautiful.

The girls above were Quinn's buddies, along with her sister Denali.

Lily pictured with us below won her division and it was beautiful.

Quinn with her crown.

the girls putting her crown on her.

All dressed up ready for the night.

Her right hand man escorting her on the stage.

Lily winning!  Way to go Lily!

Quinn was all smiles!  Such a great day for us girls!

We took Quinn's computer for her to talk, when they got to the interviews, she said no and shut her computer off two times.  The girls all got a kick out of her and her spunk!  She knows how to use things to her advantage! :)
