Danceing at Glendale Glitters

Saturday December 13th, we went to the Glendale Civic Center for a dance show. Rebecca was in 4 numbers and Jessica was in 1. It was a beautiful night. A little windy but not to cold. The show was Becca's last dance show because she leaves for school January 1st. So it was kinda happy and sad for me. I love watching her dance. I am so thankful Jessica is dancing. she did awesome in her danceing, I am so proud of both my girls. After the show we all walked around and looked at the craft booths and food booths. As you will see we really enjoyed the food booths. They had carmaled apples and Chocolate strawberries. The best part was the Kettle corn. We got some to take home to steve. It was a great Saturday Night.

work on the computer. He doesnt even mind if we go round
