Dec 9, 2014






























1.  Beth disappeared into Kate and Marianne's room alone for two minutes.  She came back out wearing a hat, necklace and princess shoe.  She has never dressed up on her own except her shoes to go outside- or somebody else's shoes hoping to go outside. It was so funny to see she knew she was dressing up and was so proud of herself.  I guess her sisters have taught her well because I have never played dress up with her.

2. One day during their Thanksgiving Break the kids and I decorated our tree.  We waited until Beth was napping knowing she would make it impossible.  We just have a little fake tree, that we hide behind the glass doors in the front office.  I am allergic to pine and it seems a good excuse for the rest of our lives to not have to deal with a big real tree.  The kids don't seem to know yet either way.  I took them that morning to pick out a new ornament.  We picked out a fox for Beth, Kate picked a pink shiny snowflake, Sam picked a Star Wars character with a Santa Hat and Mari picked Ariel.  Then we came home and I let them go through their box of ornaments from years past.  They each have a decent collection already.  Then we put everything up.  Then we decorated the rest of the house.  We played Christmas music and everyone enjoyed it.  Then Beth woke up and we let her look at it for two minutes and she broke an ornament.  Any time anyone leaves the glass door open she runs in their and tries to grab a teddy bear she likes off the tree.

3. More pictures from Kate's choir performance.  She did so wonderful and it was such a special night with her.  She really has taken to choir and says it is her favorite after school activity.  She looks like an angel too!
