Eva and Jordan's Blog: The Christmas Season has Begun

We always kick-off our holiday festivities with Scott's birthday. It was an important one this year. The big 4-0. Eva and Jordan were very excited to plan the evening. They baked and decorated cupcakes, wrapped the gift and picked out the balloons at the store. I think Daddy was impressed with their gift too. Because we know how much Daddy LOVES popcorn.

Part of Scott's birthday celebration included a trip to Las Vegas with his college buddies. That left the girls and I on our own for the weekend. Luckily we had lots planned to make the time go by. We did our Christmas decorating (Scott helped us get a tree before he left), went to Eva's tap dance performance and attended the Santa Brunch at the Club. Unfortunately, I failed a few times at my attempt as a single Mom. My #1 mistake was accidentally turning the video recorder OFF at the beginning of Eva's tap dance performance and turning in ON at the end. This made me VERY sad. Especially since I had to choose between taking actual photos and video since I couldn't do both. So I have nothing of the actual performance. Just a few shots afterward. I did get a few pictures of Eva dancing at her Friday evening school event, "The Dance Man." You can get a taste of her moves with these.

Cupcakes a la Eva and Jordan
