Snow! and a great opportunity,

It has been snowing for over 2 hours now! It is so beautiful. I know those that have to travel in it don't like it, but it is still gorgeous! We probably have 4 inches of new snow and adding! Christina and I will be going in to Logan this afternoon for a chance for her to audition for the Utah Festival Opera. She was called by her ballet teacher to go try out. They will perform Hans Christian Anderson. They need 8-10 dancers and a professional choreographer is coming in from New York City to over see the audition! This will be a great opportunity just to be with a professional dancer!

Brough Party

We had a good time visiting, lots of good food, the Nephite pageant and a big surprise from Tom and Elise! They showed up around 2:00 and surprised us all! It was so fun to see them and how much Olivia and Savannah have grown. They say they are home for good now. They don't have to go back to Arizona. Here we are doing the Nephite Christmas pageant and watching the children get to know each other.

Nutcracker Ballet

Christina in her Russian costume ithe the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince.

A group of young men and women who came from the ward to see her.

Christina danced in Special Friends, Snow, and Russian in the Nutcracker Ballet. She really loves this ballet. She thought she would have some time off between this and the High School musical Peter Pan, but NO they start rehersals tomorrow! No rest. It's a good thing she likes to stay busy.

Petroff Christmas Party

Enjoying the pageant!

We met for our annual Christmas party Saturday December 13. We received a good snowstorm that morning, so not everyone came up, fearing Sardine Canyon! We had a nice dinner, enjoyed the pageant, visiting and playing games. Merry Christmas!

Up coming performances

Christina tried out for a part in Sky View High School's musical "Peter Pan". She received a call-back for Tiger Lily, but didn't get that part. She is the first twin as one of the lost boys. She is excited to have a speaking part instead of just being in the ensemble. She also rehearsing for the Nutcracker. It will be Nov. 28, 29 and Dec. 1. She will be in three dances. She loves performing in the Nutcracker. Ballet is one of her favorite things to do. One look at her toes and you will know!

Birthday

I celebrated my 48th birthday yesterday. It was nice. We went out to dinner and then to Sky View High School's "Sky High Players" Variety show. Christina is in it. She performed many dances and did a great job. It was a relaxing day, even though I still went to work!
