The Longhurst Christmas party is always a good time. There is never a shortage of cousins to play with! Faith taught some of her cousins how to play the recorder for the talent show. Faith decided she would show off her skills by playing a recorder solo with her nose! She is soo her fathers daughter!

These girls are hula hooping machines! Jaylee was so excited to be able to finally be in school so she could be in the hula hoop contest with her big sister faith! Faith hula hooped for an hour and fifteen minutes straight before they finally stopped the contest. Imagine what my abs would look like if I could hula hoop for an hour and fifteen minutes;)
