Merry Christmas!

At the DSG Christmas party.

Olivia's Piano Recital

Maddie's program

December nights, December lights was the name of the show tonight.  It was great!  The kids sang their hearts out and it sounded awesome!  We are so proud of you Maddie!

Band Program 12-6

Johnny plays the trumpet in his middle school band.  Tuesday was his band program.  It was awesome!  They played 5 songs and sounded awesome!  So proud of you Johnny!

Nutcracker 12-4

Olivia auditioned for the Nutcracker this year and got 2 parts!  Sunday December 4th was the performance.  She was awesome!  We are so proud of you Olivia!

Ben's Program - 12-2

The IDC where Ben gets his therapy had its annual Holiday Program.  Ben did great playing his xylophone, until the little girl next to him had a major breakdown.  All he did was watch her after that!  Great Job Ben, we are proud of you!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving.  We went down to Branson for a couple of days.  Had lots of fun and the weather was great too! 
First was Silver Dollar City.  The kids proved to be braver than the adults!  They went on every ride they could!

Maddie

Maddie celebrated her 9th Birthday this weekend!  We had the kids over the house for pizza and cake, then off to the movies.  We ended the night with a sleepover.  Lots of laughs and giggles, so I think they had fun.  We are so proud of everything Maddie has done in her 9 years and cannot wait to see what is yet to come!  We love you Maddie!

Ben was the first one up and just had to see what was in the bag!

Joey

Joey is having a blast playing basketball!  He loves being part of the team.  Tonight while he was on the bench, he was cheering so loud!  So proud of him!  He is also a rock star in class.  His teacher tells me daily what a big help Joey is in class with everything. 

Olivia

Olivia is doing great as a second grader!  She takes piano lessons and will be preforming in the Nutcraker next month!  We are proud of you Olivia!
