A Preschool Christmas

Hannah's preschool celebrated the season with a short musical performance by each class, followed by a Christmas feast! Her class sang a shortened version of Must Be Santa...

Who's got a beard that's long and white?
Santa's got a beard that's long and white
Who comes around on a special night
Santa comes around on a special night

Special night, beard that's white...
Must be Santa, must be Santa, must be Santa, Santa Claus

...and 'sang' is a very generous description! Most kids were too intimidated by the crowd to make a sound, others played on the stage, some just tried to do the motions along with the teacher and then one little boy yelled the lyrics! Hilarious and memorable! Carla and Luke stayed in the seats, and I braved my way to the front to try to video & take some photos of the performance. Trying to get the kids settled down to eat was near impossible, especially when Santa made an appearance, and there was a 20ft long dessert table!!! Hannah was thrilled to wear a pair of my angel earrings and her cross (she loves jewelery) so I had to take a photo of that, and look how long her curls are! All & all, a fun little memory!

Snowman Soup

Was told you have been good this year,
Always glad to hear it!
With the freezing weather drawing near,
You will need to warm the spirit!

So here's a little snowman soup,
Complete with a stirring stick!
Add hot water, sip it slow,
It's sure to do the trick!

Hannah loves to help in the kitchen! She helped to make these cute little treats for her classmates at school, Snowman Soup is just a sweet way to send hot chocolate, candy canes & marshmallows to friends! Borrowed this idea from a creative friend, thanks for sharing! Kids loved it!

Frozen

Family movie day was so much fun & FROZEN was super cute - we all enjoyed it! Luke slept through most of it in the baby bjorn - and Hannah loved every minute of it! Hooray for movie theater popcorn & winter movies!

Grocery giggles!

WHO wouldn't want to go shopping with these two!!! This was the first time Luke got to "drive" and boy was he thrilled - big sis Hannah showed him how to steer and we were off!

7 Months Old Luke!

Trying to keep up with all of the new things Luke is up to is hard! From rolling & moving, to popping up on his knees and rocking, Luke is constantly trying to move, wriggle, and squirm! Still a very hungry boy - loves eating and loves all fruit and veggie combos that we offer! He loves to gnaw on mum mum crackers, and does a great job picking up and eating Gerber puffs too! Squealing and screeching, yelling and talking, Luke is very vocal - I am sure learning all kinds of sounds from his very vocal (and sometimes loud) big sister! Muh muh muh muh, or mamamamama are his closest sounds to any words right now - but a great start! He had his first cold and early signs of an ear infection when we got back from the beach - bummer! He was a trooper though, and aside from waking up at night a few times, he weathered the fever, runny nose, and other cold symptoms pretty well for such a little guy! Little is a loose term when used to describe Luke, he is a little baby, but there is nothing little about him! Nearing 20 lbs - Luke is wearing 9 mth and up sized clothes - and stretched right through the toes of a pair of footed pj's! Great napper, taking short ones in the car on school days and putting himself to sleep for longer ones on days we stay home - he loves to curl up on his tummy and tuck his hands under his chest - very cute - then he kind of sings/talks himself to sleep! I know I am forgetting some things...guess they'll have to wait till 8 mths! (which will be here too soon!)
