Roley, Poley the Polar Bear

Bethany started back in dance in August and has been practicing the Roley, Poley, the Polar Bear dance every Tuesday until now for this night. 

  It was in Mount Olive, so she got ready at mom's work

  and was absolutely adorable!

 The boys didn't want to be left out

  

 about 5:30 we headed to downtown Mount Olive for the show

 and met daddy there (I think he was Bethany's favorite that night :)

 all the polar bears gathered

 Bethany helped a little one named Ava who was scared, she held her hand the whole time

 about 6:00 pm they all lined up 

 the town Mayor said the opening prayer

 and it began to snow!

 I can't count the times I had to say "Ayden, don't eat the snow!"

 The kids got to see their friends from school

 Ayden begged Santa to let him on stage... it didn't happen

 Now it was time for the show to begin!

 Bethany was a penguin last year

 and here she goes!

 It only lasted about 2 minutes but boy they were some cute polar bears!

 next was the Betty Boops

 the kids enjoyed the show

 Bethany even ran into her old partner in crime, Sophia!

 The walls of the street were decorated with pages the kids had colored

 Ayden and Brock found theres! 

 Next they wrote letters to Santa 

 We warmed up with some hot chocolate from Hwy 55

 and they also had some goodies at another table 

 this picture does not give this dog justice. This dog was the size of a small pony and so well behaved! 

(Check out Brock's face)

 Ayden found his buddy Alex 

 the last stop was to visit Santa

 Aunt Sammie, cousin Logan and Grandma showed up just in time

  We all headed out for pizza next and called it a night!
