Hope

Hope had her Christmas dance performance. She was so excited to be in 2 dances! I signed her up for a ballet class and a jazz class because she loves dance so much! She went out and did her snowman ballet and did great. I especially love how she sticks her tongue out. Then when it was time for her other dance she wasn't on stage. I went back to find her and she was so sad. They had forgotten to get Hope and another little girl so they had missed the dance. Hope really wanted makeup for the performance so she had mascara smeared down her cheek from her tears. So we came up with a plan to have her teacher dance with her on stage after santa had left. A few other parents had their girls stay so Hope could dance with other girls. Hope was so smiley wen she came on stage. I was so sad for my little girl but so grateful for her teacher who bent over and hugged Hope so tightly apologizing and then telling we what an amazing job she did.
It was also Hopes 5th birthday. She wanted a Christmas birthday party. So they decorated reindeer hats, played pin the nose on Rudolph, wraped each other up with toilet paper to look like snowmen and then had a snowball with the toilet paper. Our Hope is kind and always wants to include others, she is amazing at hide and seek, she loves to help out with anything and when you ask her to do something she does it. She's so funny and she loves to make up silly words. We love you Hope!
