Dancing Princess

Mara had her first recital on Sunday. She performed at the Massari Auditorium here of campus. It was neat, but kind of scary to see her on that stage. I spent so many years working shows in that theater to see my daughter performing there made me realize that time is flying by a little to fast for comfort. My boss had the same thing happen to him as his daughter was running sound for the event.

My rapid aging aside, Mara did a great job. She was only in one number. She is the youngest and smallest in her class but she keeps up just fine. Myka wanted to be in the show also so Melissa dressed her up and had her downstairs in the dressing room. She thought she was pretty cool. Sorry - no pictures of Myka.

Mara is hoping to join more classes next year so she can be in more numbers.
On a side note, the show was 12 years and a day since the evening I proposed to Melissa on that very stage. No pictures of that either, although there is a video in storage somewhere.
The house is coming along. Like the rest of the country we have had too much freezing weather to get too much done. I am still hoping to have the electrical done by the fifth of January when I go back to work.
Mom go her decorations up despite the help of the girls and Wayne. we are looking forward to a nice family Christmas this year.
That is all for now, I hope everyone has a blessed holiday and remember that Christ is the "REASON FOR THE SEASON"!
