Snow Day!

First real snow day in a few years in Williamsburg didn’t go to waste. We had some sled time and built a whole snowman family with of course a big Snow Owen (Snowen)!

Sn-Owen!

Santa brought Adleigh the crazy gift of flight for Xmas. So, we ventured to Va Beach for a flying session. Adleigh was a pro!! She and Canton both did a high fly that went 20 feet up. Proud of Liberty for giving it a go!

Then we capped off the day with a walk to the ocean. Great day for all!

Spent the day working in the kitchen, the girls helped with latkes, eggs, cookies, sides, gingerbread houses, while music filled the house. Merry Christmas!

Adleigh has had a super busy week! She did four shows and today she had her first meet of the season before racing to Williamsburg Players for show number 5.

She did that while getting a personal best on floor and medaling in bars and beam and placing sixth all around. Way to go Adleigh! We love you!!

Miracle on 34th Street

Tonight, Canton shone brightly in the supporting role of Mr Shellhammer in Miracle on 34th Street.

I didn’t get a ton of pictures, busy selling roses. But we appreciate all his fans and supporters!

Christmas Carol 2024

Posted on December 12, 2024 by Christy Murphy

Mike and Adleigh returned to the stage in Christmas Carol. This year is extra special because Liberty joined them!

I am proud of Liberty for working through her nerves and doing something new! Adleigh has been such a supportive sister and cast-mate. I am so thankful for Mike for stepping out of his comfort zone to share the stage with the girls. I know he always thought he would be coaching them from the sidelines and instead he’s dancing with them.

Today is their opening. Here are a couple snaps from the show…
