Chinese New Year 2015-Year of the Sheep

We practiced doing Lulu's hair to get it right for the Chinese New Year performance.

Buddy got to bring his costume home to wear to the performance.

Ready to beat his drums.

Crazy pose.

 Ready to go. Lulu will change at the venue.

 Show us your Kung Fu moves!

 There's Buddy!

 Lulu's turn.

 All done. Good job kiddos!

Lulu's 9th Birthday

More skiing at the cabin.

 Baking shrinky dinks.

 More paint for the basement.

Time to open gifts at home.

Lulu with the owl necklace Grandpa made for her.

 Even Luna got in on the package opening.

Measuring time. How much have you grown?

Lulu had her friend birthday party at Zero Gravity.

Irish Dance Feis

Lulu participated in a feis (Irish dance competition) at her dance school.

We got her hair all cute and ready.

In costume and ready to go!

 Number 151. If only I could figure out how to post videos on here, you could see what she can really do. Hard to get the vibe of Irish dance through pictures alone.

 Getting Valentines ready for friends at school.

More skiing at our friends' cabin.

Birthdays

Steve's birthday pie from the Norske Nook. Chocolate peanut butter. Yum.

St. Paul Winter Carnival

 Steve got us tickets to a Bret Michael's concert at Mystic Lake for my birthday.

Getting our Bret Michael's on.

 He came to the casino after the show to give away a trip so we got to see him up close.

 All done! Fun night. On our way home now :)
