Christmas in Dallas: 2012

12 Days of Christmas Program: Written Produced + Choreographed by: YaYa Harvanek. Cast in no particular order: Caroline, Ella, Lily, Hayes + Trey

Serious backstage last minute preparations....

Uncle Michael bringing in some Christmas goodies :)

Hayes + Trey rehearsing their parts...


Getting last minute instructions from their Director :)

Ella resting her voice  for her solo part...

Getting their props...

Baby Girl memorized by it all...She LOVED it and for 17months we were all impressed by how Caroline played her part...she just wants to be part of the big kids. My love  for her is so Fierce.

Watching YaYa to see when she is supposed to "ring her bell" :)

Granny Jo saying "hello"! Love you!

Full House: 1 Great Grandparent, 2 Grandparents, 6 Mommy + Daddies, one 17month old, an almost 3 year old, an almost 3 1/2 year old, an almost 4 year old  + an 8 year old( Ella, Aunt Alli might have your age wrong forgive me:) 6 Dogs and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.............

Uncle Michael and Uncle Ryan reviewing the song list :)

Caroline walked in like a big big girl and did her part. My baby girl is a total "Show Girl" :)

And she waited.....so patient this precious girl of mine.

AND WAITED... for the rest of her troop.

The procession.....

We sang Christmas Carols while the kids played their instruments. The finale was Ella singing the 12 Days of Christmas while  each kid stood up wearing a particular number...It was precious and the younger kids felt so proud of themselves when it was their turn to standup with Ella. Memories of these precious kiddos wrapped up with a bow in my mind.


The combined happiness, health + success that I wish for these 5 babes is bigger than big. I love them all to the moon and back and would do anything for each and everyone of them. They each have their own personality, little quirks that make them just who they are and I have loved watching them grow....
Sweet Aunt Deena putting together Caroline's Princess Castle...


Digging in to all the toys....

I got Lily this tutu and fairy wings....she loved it and it made my heart smile.

Trying to wrangle them all together for a paprazzi pic...Caroline taking one last swig of choc. milk she waste nothing :)
