Helena likes crawling around on all fours.

Helena likes taking ornaments off the tree.

Sometimes the two don't go together really well. Carrots can hurt, really, really bad.

Helena's last day of Beginning Ballet went well. Bill took pictures with a zoom lens, so not much came out. Dalen took the video camera and we watched a video of the floor later in the week. Here are some shots that turned out okay.

The class. I was thinking that this would be the day everyone was going to be ontime, but they weren't. The class began at 8:30. Luckily the presentation began at 9:00, or else some wouldn't have made it to their first recital.

The train.

Helena was one of the younger kids in the class.

On her playmat. She's finally swatting at things in front of her, unfortunately, she isn't swatting Liam yet. He needs to be.

and Ada giving directions.

Ada on daddy's legs. Whenever we do this, I end up with spit all over my knee (as you can see).

Discussion.
Liam found the deer first. Helena was jealous...luckily she found the other one. I'm sure that they won't be on the tree for long.

Ada isn't up to anything unusual.

Liam being silly.
Liam is trying to put up a stocking. He thinks that they just stick to the wall, apparently.
