Christmas & Holiday Celebrations at E's school

The blanket I made Mrs. Daniels

E had also had a very fun time in the month of December in Kindergarten. She learned about Santa, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. She had a Caroling Program and sang songs with hand motions from all different celebrations without incorporating God. (Not to worry we covered that home and Church.) We had a pizza party to celebrate the holiday break. The most special even though was the baby shower some of the parents through for Mrs. Daniels E's teacher. We played baby bingo and pin the bottle on the baby; ate treats and opened presents. It was such fun honoring her! One of our neighboring churches hosted a Day in Bethlehem and was able to attend. She learned hands on about the birth of Christ and what happened and how to make bread. It was so incredible. S was not old enough but will definitely go next year! It was fabulous!

Christmas Celebration at S's preschool

S had an awesome month at preschool celebrating Christmas and the birth of Christ. We made a manager and a reindeer cookie. She had a little program, too. She sang two songs...Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Stable. It was so darling!

Happy Birthday Day Hubby!

We had a wonderful celebration for hubby's birthday by making his favoirte pizza. Somehow we did not get a picture of him, but he had lots of fun!

Our Family Thanksgiving

The girls thanking me for cooking them a great meal!

We had a GREAT Thanksgiving! It was so relaxing and enjoyable! We decided to stay home and celebrate just the 4 of us. It has been a very busy year already and with basketball in full swing we have been ships passing in the night. The girls helped me cooked all day. I was so surprised that S was so interested in cooking but she really enjoyed herself. She helped me make the homemade pie crusts. Even though it was just the 4 of us I made a huge dinner! I decided that I was going to show my girls what it is like to be a MOM. The menu: ham, black olives, deviled eggs, green bean casserole, candied yams, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, bread stuffing, rolls, pecan pie, pumpkin pie and it seems like I am missing something. I used the kids crafts from school for the centerpiece. We just hung out all day and enjoyed our sweet family. We spent the day being very thankful and appreciative to our Lord Jesus Christ for all the blessings He has given us.

Thanksgiving Lunch with E's Class

We had a Thanksgiving potluck lunch with E in her classroom. It was very special! Dad even got a sub for one hour and was able to join us! S was in preschool so E had us all to ourselves! We brought the famous green bean casserole and it was a hit!
