LOVE THAT GIRL! She is gonna be the most humble, practical American Idol winner ever and will spend her money wisely!
This week was also her dance recital. She danced to "Run, Run Rudolph" and said she wasn't nervous at all. :) She said that she was just busy the whole dance trying to find Grandma and Grandpa in the audience! Here she is with her dance teacher:

I'm STILL divying out cookies from the yummy cookie exchange we had on Tuesday night. I can't believe how good all the cookies were...I want ALL the recipes but still want the girls to come back next year and share their secrets again! YUM! Can you tell who won the holiday costume contest? (Unfortunately she took the side ponytail out before this picture, dang it!)

Lastly... YEA!! We take off on Sunday for two weeks in Georgia. Merry Christmas everyone!
