I participated in the two outreach shows our studio presented. We performed one show for the high school students from the school where we were using the theater, and another for elementary students from some nearby schools. After the first show, some of the high school students stayed and asked us questions about what it's like being a dancer. After the elementary students' show, the kids mostly wanted to say hi and touch our costumes!
We performed three shows throughout the weekend of December 9th and 10th. I was a little nervous before the first show, but when I walked on stage I forgot about being nervous and just played my part. In the role of Fritz I had a few fast changes, but always managed to get on stage in time. Everyone performed their best at all three shows. When the curtain closed after the last show, I was so disappointed because it was over, but I was proud that everyone had done a really good job. Check out the photo album that is on my Photos link above to see more pictures from the show.
The day after Christmas, my family went to our grandparents' in Connecticut with Patch. I saw many of my aunts and uncles on my dad's side while we were there. We also got more presents while we were there! My favorite was the portable DVD player for Gabrielle and me. We were able to watch a movie on the long ride home! I definitely had a great holiday season. I hope you did, too.

This is a cool on-line star wars game where you can choose to fly around in an a-wing, x-wing or y-wing fighter. You can also make ships and have laser battles. If you log in (which is free) your game will save so you won't have to start over every time.
I got a sewing machine for Christmas from Santa. I was really surprised and happy. I had been wanting one, and I thought I might get a kid's sewing machine. I got a real, grown-up machine! I was learning to sew by hand with a needle and thread, but the sewing machine goes so much faster! I am still learning, but it is fun.
On New Year's Eve, I got to go over to our friends for dinner. I played with my friends, but we came home to go to sleep. My mom woke me up near midnight on New Year's Eve. I was really tired but I wanted to see the ball drop in New York. Nicholas stayed up the whole time. We had some juice and pie to celebrate and then I went back to sleep!
