Sing it, girls!

Payton has always been a big fan of music and dancing. We have also learned that Nika is as well. For Christmas, the girls got a Barbie CD player/karaoke machine that has two microphones ... it is perfect for them! My sister, Kristie, had a jam session with them on Christmas day ... it was so cute! We have a CD that we got from Payton's teacher that has all the songs they listen to at school ... Payton loves it! Here is a little glimpse of their jam session ...

Annual DSANV Christmas Party

Every year our local Down syndrome group has a Christmas party and the kids have such a great time. There is always a kids entertainment band and they lay a big rug out for the kids with jingle bells and maracas so they can jam.

This year's party was probably the best party we have been to, only because Payton is a little older and she can appreciate what is happening around her. She LOVES music and she LOVES to dance ... so does Nika, actually. I think the two of them danced and shook jingle bells for two hours straight today, it was so cute!

Shake, shake, shake!
