Carolling....

The Daisy troop that Sophia is in went carolling this morning at an Alzheimer's facility that is in the neighborhood. There were quite a few girls that came and they did so well! I hope they spread a little holiday cheer to the residents!

Our Elf....

Clyde the Elf comes every year to watch and report on good and bad behavior. Each night he flies back to Santa to tell him the news of the day...and each morning he's in a new spot. The kids love to be the first one to find him. Had a bump in the road recently when Joshua touched him...which is a major rule "no touching the elf or he might lose his magic!" There was lots of tears that day but after a night at the Elf Hospital, Clyde was okay! This morning he was riding Sophia's Barbie horse. After a lot of laughter...Sophia drew this picture of him....

Christmas Program

Joshua was in the NPDS Christmas Program...and he did SO well. Walked up to the front, sang loudly "Happy Birthday Baby Jesus" and sat with his class. At the end everyone got up to sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." His class all held hands. So cute!!! Makes me both happy and sad to see #3 doing all the things that the first 2 have already been through!!

A list for Santa....

Santa made a stop at NPDS this year...and brought candy canes, donuts and juice. What could be better?? Jake and Sophia both told him their top wishes. Joshua didn't want to get too close!

Big Boys....

This little guy looks SO big! First year in pre-school has been a big success (most days!). And now we have this great picture to remember his year in the Young 3's class!

Flag football with the 7 and 8 year olds! Jake had a great time and by the end of the season...they were looking kind of like a "real" football team!
