CHRISTmas Eve

James & Maggie chose M&M sugar cookies, apples, cheese & milk as snack options for Santa this year. 

They were very excited about CHRISTmas this year, with lots of questions for how it all happens. 

Trying to keep it simple and remind them of the birthday we would celebrate...

they were just amazed and enjoyed taking it all in!

The word on the street...GALOSHES

James and Maggie got new umbrellas, rain coats and galoshes. These make for hours of rainy day fun!!

Some Gigi Goodness

Who can resist the yummy goodness of Gigi's Cupcakes!!!

Especially when they look like CHRISTmas trees!!

  

a visit with Santa

James wants a "BIG TRUCK" & Maggie wants "PRINCESS Dress Up Clothes"

CHRISTmas Choir

This is James and Maggie's first year in Children's Choir.

They were excited to go to choir each Wednesday Night and learn the wonderful CHRISTmas music.

They were quite comical in their first performance, but knowing they did not scream or cry is GREAT!

The Nutcracker

This year, with Maggie enjoying her ballet class, we decided she might enjoy the Nutcracker ballet.  Enjoy was not the word...she loved it, she found it spectacular, and extremely beautiful. She sat through three hours of dance and never complained.  She was unsure of the intermission, thinking it was over; however once the dancing began she was mesmerized.

Ornament Party

We joined with friends to celebrate the CHRISTmas season

by having a fun filled day of ornament making.

Small wreaths made of buttons, painted wooden ornaments, and of course snacks!
