Elbow, Omaha Children's Museum Models, USAF Band, Sunday School Christmas Program, Christmas Parties, Sam Wins a Hot Dog, and Ice Skating at Mahoney!

Sam and Alden went to the Christmas Carol at the Omaha Community Play House with Grandma and Grandpa McKnight While Clair went to the ER because of a dislocated elbow.  Guess which arm.

All better!

Michelle teaches Body Combat, a Les Mills program, at the Plattsmouth Community Center.  Les Mills had a Quarterly Workshop in Omaha at the Downtown YMCA. These are instructors from our gym that went with Michelle!

Sam's beauty school. 

They kids were the cover models for the Omaha Children's Museum for the Construction exhibit. 

And for the New Year Eve party.

We took the kids to the Heartland of America Band Christmas Concert.  

They got to meet Santa, Clair screamed.

Doug and Alden rockin' the matching sweaters.  Also with us that night was Grandma Nancy and Sandy and Grandpa Jim.  The kids sat through the concert very well!

Sunday School Christmas program was the True Meaning of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Sam was the first day of Christmas.  She did Great with her lines!

McKnight Family Christmas!  Scott and Max hanging out.

Michelle and Max also chilling.

Clair and Alden decided to be stinkers and not pose well for pictures.  You can guess how that frustrated Michelle.

Samantha's Kindergarten class Christmas party.

Jim and Doug took Sam and Alden to a Husker basketball game.  Sam got picked to be in a game at half time.  They put all the kids shoes in a pile at center court. Then they had to run and put them on and come back and make a basket.  Samantha found the girl in blue's shoes for her because they had the same type of boots.  

She almost made it to the hoop.

She won a hot dog for playing.  Alden was the real winner.

Then the kids hung out with this guy in a Santa suit.  

Christmas with Great grandma and grandpa McKnight!

They love this little game where they match shapes and Grandpa is good at it too.

Holman Christmas!  We played a game that involved this, but it was long over when I took this pic.

The whole group of Great Grand Kids.  All of them seem to be looking at something.

Yep that's it.

Not sure about this one.

BINGO time.

After Christmas there was a nice warm day and we got some Ice time at Mahoney State Park!

And we ran into Shaely and Teresa at the rink.  

So nice that day we even climb the tower! 

Sam and Jayda at the Rose.  

And that sums up most of December 2011!

Imagination Movers "In a Big Warehouse Tour"!

The day we all had to spring forward with the clocks, we went to see the Imagination Movers concert. The show was in downtown Kansas City at the Midlands Theater. The kids enjoyed seeing the old theater and walking around downtown before the concert. However, it was pretty chilly that weekend.

Alden with his usual theatrics.

Wating while the girls went potty.

We were in the second row on stage right. They were great seats!!

Why can't Doug ever have his eyes open in a picture??

Choo-Choo Soul opened the show. They got the party started! Watching DC break dance was cool. Alden loved them.

Sam's Favorite Song ~ sang by Nina~On My Way Home(In a Big Warehouse (See all Disney Music CDs)

). She loves doing all the Hawaiian moves that go along with the song

There was a little area that turned into a preschool mosh pit. Sam and 3 or 4 other girls danced right infront of the stage the whole show. The movers came down off the stage alot and said "hi" to the kids. Sam got a front row for Rich's solo.

Alden Stayed in his seat but it was on the aisle and did lots of high fives and fist bumps with the Movers.

Sam getting a pat on the head after the solo.

When they slowed things down a bit Clair took it a little too far. The show started right about nap time and I guess Clair felt like she needed her rest. :) She slept so hard, even right through a couple fast songs! Mover Dave came down and saw that she was asleep and just laughed at her! Later on when she woke back up, Dave said "good morning" to her! It was cute!

The highlight for Alden was Eddie the monster. This is Alden waving to him.

Eddie on stage.

Dave was infront of us the whole show so Sam and Alden got to know him well. This is when he came down to the crowd and said "Good Morning" to Clair.

Dave Rockin' the New Orleans Saints Logo on the Bass.

Confetti coming down from above! Sam had to save some for her scrapbook.

At the end Choo-Choo Soul came out and played a few songs with the movers.

It was a great show. The kids had a blast and they work in some music for the "big kids" with Beastie Boys and Van Halen.
