The Gifts 

NYC Rockettes Dance Experience!

Reyna at Radio City Music Hall Dec 3rd 2011, all geared up for the dance workshop with the All That & Jazz Studio crew! 

 Touring Radio City Music Hall

 Learning a dance from a real Rockette was a blast for her and all of the girls!

 Posing with the sweet Rockette that spent the morning teaching them a new dance Rockette style:)

 Reyna was all smailes all day, she had a wonderful & memorable time!

 During our free time time to roam the city she chose to go to Barney's and a visit the Lady Gaga Holiday Store! Here she is trying on a classic Lady Gaga "Hair" Bow!  She wanted me to buy this for her but it was 80 bucks!

 Here she is posing in front of the huge abstract glass sculpture of Lady Gaga!

In Times Square at the end of the night...it was FREEZING.  But her new "Little Monster" stuffed animal from the Lady Gaga store helped keep her warm;)

Lots of Updates Coming Soon...

I am very behind on posting pics from several different important events! We have been very busy lately. I will soon have all of the photos up from the NYC trip, Christmas, Felipe's Retirment Ceremony and our trip to DC to the MLK Memorial on MLK Day!

I hope all is well with everyone.

God Bless,

Katy and Felipe

Marine Corps Birthday Ball 2012

We attended the Marine Corps ball on Nov 10th at the Marriott in Crystal City. It was Felipe's last ball in uniform and we decided to make a night of it. We got a room at the hotel and we enjoyed the ball until it ended at 1am in the morning! It was a blast celebrating, dancing and hanging out with all of Felipe's fellow Marines for the evening.

The next morning we enjoyed an amazing breakfast in Georgetown at an all organic pastry and breakfast cafe then we headed over to the famous Georgetown Cupcakes which is featured on TLC's D.C. Cupcakes. We brought home cupcakes for the kids and it was a great ending to a great trip!

NYC Bound Baby!

Reyna has been given an amazing opportunity to travel with the Company Dance Team to NYC to dance with the Rockettes in a 4 hour workshop which covers several dance techniques as well as be a part of a photo op and attend the Rockette Holiday Show at Radio City Music Hall on Dec 3rd!

She has worked so hard this year in all 5 of her dance classes preparing for dance team tryouts this summer. She has progressed so well that when one spot opened up for the workshop, she was the dancer that the studio owner invited. It is a team event but she was asked to attend even though she is not yet on the team.

She was thrilled about the news and because Dec 3rd is my birthday I thought what is a better way to spend my birthday than supporting my daughter in NYC for the day:)

We look forward to the trip amd can't wait to take photos to share with everyone!
