"Insta"-replay #21, better late than never

My replay is a little late this week, but I figured better late than never.  I was a bit distracted yesterday but the reason will have to wait for next weeks replay, spoilers.
We started last week by getting ready for dress rehearsal.  The more classes my girls take the more trouble it is to keep their hair in curls.
Charry's favorite class this year is tap.  She is very excited to be a penguin!  And an adorable penguin at that.
Merry is enjoying being a Fairy, although she is still disappointed that she's not an elf.
We moved school to a smaller room.  Two reasons: 1. Hope it is easier to keep warm. 2. I wanted the space cleared so I could put up Christmas decorations.
To prepare for winter break I put a deck of cards in my purse.  Cards are useful for all kinds of math games.  The trick is to not let your kids know they are learning.
The girls where happy to have cards to keep them busy while Aunt Kimi and I had coffee.
I stumbled across an oddly creative "doll?" Charry had constructed from barbie's stair case.  I'm at a loss as to why but it did make me laugh quite a bit.
Christmas decorations are out at our house!  I always start with the bear family.  There is one for each of us, even my husband.  He picked out the Christmas tree outfit one year and now it is tradition to dress up the bears.
My week ended with a concert.  My mom and her husband Bill are both members of a Choral, it was a pleasure to hear them sing, and even from the balcony I could see my mom smiling just like she always did in choir at church!

I enjoyed last week and I'm looking forward to next!  Turkey time, and maybe even a tree.
