I hope your New Year brings you lots of great things (such as the Barbie MP3 player you have begged for all year)
I hope this new year is not full of bumps along the way and if that so happens I hope you have lots of helping hands to reach those pesky itchy spots.
Today was the kids last official day of school before Christmas break. Erin's school had a Sing a Long that all the parents were invited to. In the first picture you can see Erin being led out by her teacher and of course she is just like her sister in having to be stylish now with a scarf every day!
The next few shots are of her and and a friend having fun doing all the actions to the songs they were singing. Aren't they fun?
The finale of the show was when they sang Santa Claus is coming to Town. Guess what Santa really came to their school for a visit! So generous of him knowing how busy he is this time of year!
Just wanted to let everyone know Jordan made it out of his surgery just fine. He is pretty swollen, sore, and well down right cranky. They said the full swelling will not set in until day 7 so here's to hoping we are heading the downhill swing of healing soon!
Thanks so much for all the prayers, texts, and phone calls. He wanted me to let everyone know he appreciates the support ;)
I usually forgo the Gingerbread house b/c it always just falls and ends in disaster. I decided to go for it this year. Yep those cups there are holding the roof up! Oh well we had fun and yummy samples!
Today was the Children's Christmas program at church. Can you spot Regan in this picture? She's there....
This was Regan during the singing portion. Yeah I know I couldn't see her either. Whose bright idea was it to put a tall girl directly in front of her?
This is her trying to peak around and see.
Here is Erin so excited to finally get a chance to participate in her first ever Christmas program like a big kid!
And here is Erin clapping for herself. I think she thinks they did a great job ;)
They all did a fabulous job. Lots of lovely music with a wonderful message that although it is the same every year I never tire of hearing it and it becomes so magical when told through the eyes of a child and is a wonderful reminder of the real reason for the season!
Doesn't it seem like this time of year there is so much to do to get ready for the big holiday? Seems like every activity the family is involved in need to have a end of the season party.
We are enjoying all the of the festivities. In this picture you can see Michaels craft day I took the girls to. Fun day!
Hope you and your family are enjoying this holiday season! Please pray for Jordan this next week as he goes in to get all four of his wisdom teeth removed. They are all four impacted so you know fun fun. Poor kid hope he is feeling better by the time Christmas is here!
Erin: Guess what mom Matthew has three girlfriends and I am one of them.
Me: What?! Who is this Matthew?
Erin: There are two Matthews on our bus one with blue hair and one has an ipod.
Me: And which one is this Matthew?
Erin: The one with the ipod
(Okay should I be relieved?)
Me: Erin now why in the world would you want to be this boy's girlfriend?
Erin: He is my friend I - he is my best friend actually.
Me: I am doubting that Erin since this is the first time I have ever heard his name. Now you do realize you can be his friend without being his girlfriend. Beside you are waaay too young for such things. You just tell him thanks but no thanks let's just be friends.
Okay seriously people why am I having the conversation of Let's Just be Friends with my six year old? Oye I swear I could feel my hair turning gray from this conversation! Not even close to wrapping my mind around such things with my BABY!
