Her is what I did to Aly's hair a couple weeks ago for church. SOrry I keep forgetting to bring my camera to the shop because I turned off my internet at home. I know, nobody thought anything could be done to her hair, but she asked for her hair to be curled. It was a success and actually lasted all through church. LOTS OF HAIRSPRAY!!!
So for her birthday, we gave Lacey snowboarding lessons. She has been wanting to do them for a long time and even bought her own snowboard a couple years ago. The school had sent home a flyer about 4 two hours lessons on four Saturdays in January for only $109 total. Since she didn't have to rent equipment it seemed like a good deal. Any way she only has one lesson left and Jerame said she picked up pretty quick. It's kind of like a date for them every Saturday. Anyway, above she is on the lift. Don't know who she is with but she is the one on the far right.
Here are a few pics of her snowboarding. She has stopping down pretty good since the hill is pretty steep. She pretty much gets down with the stop skid! They actually take them up to the very top of the mountain this weekend. She has gone about 3/4 of the way up to the top so far. Most of the mountain is in the black diamond difficulty range which, I am told, is really steep. The bunny hill is the only blue circle level. Apparently everyone says if you can ski Pebble Creek you can ski anywhere.
The neighbor girls came over and asked if Lacey and Emma wanted to go sledding with them. Of course they did and this is how they did it. They had 2 sleds hooked up behind their razor. Of course there were a few spills like above.
But for the most part there were smiles. Aly was sleeping when this took place so she missed it. But here is Lacey, Annalyse, Natalie, and Emma.
Here they are going up and down the street.
Well it's official! I have a 10-year-old!! When did that happen? We ended up having a New Year's slumber party for Lacey's birthday party. Lacey had 4 friends over and of course her sisters were in the middle of it all. Above they are playing Twister. Below she is blowing out her 10 candles. I tried to trick her into being 7, 8, or even 9 for another year but she counted the candles and made sure there were 10. She wanted an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen (best ice cream cakes) and the Christmas ones were half off so I made her choose one of those. She decided on Rudolph.
I know it's a little late but here are some new pictures of Christmas. Lacey was up at 4:30 but don't worry I told her to go back to bed. I finally gave in at 10 to 7 which everyone knows is very generous of me. Above is Emma opening her barbie townhouse my mom got her.
Aly with her new doll house. She acted like an old pro opening presents. But she was disappointed to find out Santa just dropped the presents and left. She thought he'd be there when she woke up.
