WOW! We made it teacher friends! I love my kiddos but I also LOVE a long Christmas break!!! The last few months have been crazy busy for me! It’s been filled with love, death, sadness, fun, hope… I could go on… Definitely a roller coaster of emotions for the people that I love. One thing is for sure… you definitely have to treasure the small things in life. I have to remind myself daily to not take a single moment for granted. Each laughter, hug, smile, moment of silence {that comes few}, kiss, conversation…
My children have definitely made me see things in a whole new light.. or maybe it is just getting older! Being older definitely makes you wiser and more appreciative, but is sure does suck loosing people that you love.
Santa is bringing us a new puppy! We went for a visit, but my girls don’t know that this little guy will be the newest member of our family very soon!
Sophie had her first preschool program at school…
We have done a LOT of dressing up…
And, that cute little girl in the middle of my two girls is my precious niece, Hayden. I have a feeling these three girls might get into some trouble together as they get older!!!
My girls were so tired one day that I found them both asleep. If this happens they are TIRED. This is a RARE occasion in my house. My kiddos think they don’t need sleep!
We got to sit in the back of a police car! We hit a deer, totaled the car, and a VERY kind family helped us out! Then…. we got to sit in the very COOL police car with the kindest officer ever while we waited for my husband to pick us up. It was a LONG night, but it definitely reminded me to be thankful.
We completed a ton of other activities…. Horrible Harry and the Holidaze was perfect to teach us about Three Kings Day, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Japanese New Year! I used all of the activities from this holiday unit!
Of course, we had to write a letter to Santa explaining why would be good elves!
This Christmas Tree craft was my FAVORITE! We read an informational passage about Christmas Trees and then read Pete the Cat. We wrote about the beginning, middle, and end of the story inside the trees.
Mooseltoe, Tacky’s Christmas, A New Improved Santa, Olive The Other Reindeer, and Snowmen at Christmas! That’s what we were all about last week…
