Mya brought in 8 with another gymnastics party.  She especially loved having her BFF Ava and her sister Jersey there to celebrate with her!
Go for it Mya!

Dickson Christmas 2016




Dickson Christmas 2016!
As our families have kept growing and growing, it has become our Dickson family tradition to stay at a fun hotel with our families each year!  The cousins LOVE the waterparks and swimming and the Sisters might even like the togetherness time even more!  Grandma and Grandpa are always taking it all in and loving every moment.  So many fun and happy memories they have created for us!






Grandpa Claus ALWAYS hosts the big event!  He comes with BIG sack of toys for all the grandkids!  Grandma is busy decorating the hotel room to look like Christmas!  The best part- she brings cookies!!

Let's back up....the weekend started out with a trip to Dave and Busters!  Lots of arcade games and plenty of great prizes  (like these super awesome umbrella hats....)

And pretend eraser money!

Then it was time to open presents! The sister exchange was my favorite part!  Bring 3 of your favorite things......

Then lots and lots and lots of swimming!
More swimming....


Mya and Anna just hanging out!
At first Mya didn't want to go on the waterslides--too scary!
But then, she couldn't get enough!  Again again again!!!

Watch us watch us watch us!

Oh Erik!  Of course we will watch you!

Don't watch me!

AND THEN THERE WAS BABY MAEBELLE!!!


We could not get enough of her!

Auntie Liz was nice enough to share her with us, even though she was in the hospital for RSV the weekend before.

We just had to be extra careful!!
But, kind of hard to resist her! We love you baby Maebelle!! 💗


Choir Concert 2016 and They DO love each other!

Mya getting ready for her 3rd Grade Concert!
Tate ready for his first Middle School Choir Concert--6th grade!  So handsome!
Awe, they DO love each other! No conert for Garrett this year (8th grade)--he chose to learn German instead--"Nein" is the only word I am pretty sure he knows!



Beautiful.

And even got to do some actions!

Mya sang her heart out! :)
