Parties, presents and caroling

It has been a week of celebrating, eating, baking, singing, and enjoying friends and family. It began last Thursday at Otter Creek Preschool with your program and party, Caroline. My camera didn't get very good shots of you singing, but the show was precious, as always. My favorite song was, "I want a Hippopatamus for Christmas!"

You and Paisley......best buddies!

After a little coaxing, you got up in Santa's lap...and told him what you wanted.....a scooter and a Dora backpack!


Caitlyn, your class had a party the next day and it was wild. All the children were sooooooo excited.....I don't know about you, but I was quite overstimulated when it was over! Whew...I have SUCH respect for your Kindergarten teacher!!! Here you are playing a game called "shoveling snow". You had vaseline on your nose and had to roll as many cotton balls on your nose and into the cup as fast as you could. You won the game...what talent!!!!!!Your class had made adorable Christmas tree shirts the week before and you all wore them, except for Garrett...the new boy that came last week. You have turned into the social butterfly and were so excited to make a new friend!

After your party, we went to Coal and Claire's house for pizza and to decorate cookies. Since we don't go to the same school or church as the Dyes, we try and get together over breaks. Needless to say, at the end of that day, you were on a sugar high and crashed!!!!!!!!
Saturday night we drove out to Mt. Juliet for the Dowlen family Christmas. You girls helped me make deviled eggs and brownies that day for the big potluck supper. We ate until we were stuffed and then exchanges gifts. Here you are with your sweet cousins, Ashley and Kevin. They were so sweet to play "school" with you two that night!




Dressing up in Aunt Judy's earings..............

Showing excitement over lipgloss and a cupcake maker!!!!!!!
Finally, on Sunday night, we met some of the moms and children from your class at school, Caitlyn, and went caroling. It was your first experience and something I had not done since high school. It was so cold, but I think we made a lot of people smile that night!!!!



We're counting down........two more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
