TGIF

Another whirlwind week of gymnastics, school, and dance!
Ending the school week is report card day - Mika's first first grade report card. She's not concerned about it whatsoever.
We finally received her school photo CD. The quality of the prints last year wasn't great, so we opted to just get the shots and order prints elsewhere. Worked out well!
We will be attempting to get xmas photos done at the legislature building on Saturday. Send co-operative kid vibes our way - we'll need it.

Next week is Mika's English student-led conference, the following week is her Mandarin student-led conference and Christmas concert.

Declan's in-class ballet recital was fantastic, despite him being so tired he almost fell asleep. He's just too cute in his black and white outfit in a sea of pink. Mika's ballet class didn't have one because she was the only student present that day. We did get to peek in on her having a private 40 minute class and it was sickeningly adorable. She and Miss Ellen worked on their Christmas dance together. Watching your beautiful little girl dance along perfectly with her beautiful dance teacher can really tug at the old heart strings. Mika's jazz/hip-hop recital was great too. She swayed, leaped, kicked, and grooved her way through it. The kid really loves these classes. I am dying to see what they're doing in her Chinese dance class - I think I may have to wait until Chinese New Year to see anything though. I know that the kid has been working very hard on her splits and bridges/back bends.

Meatballs are almost done - gotta go!
