Merry Christmas

We celebrated early with my family on December 19- then we went to church on Christmas Eve. Rachel was thrilled to sing her two favorite songs- "Hark the herald angels sing" and "Away in a manger". Santa did bring the hair salon- all is good! Have a very merry Christmas!

"Glory to the newborn King!"

Trees and Santa

We went to see the holiday tree festival and Rachel asked Santa for a "salon".

Happy Valentine's Day

Rachel had a Valentine's party at school- she had a lot of fun eating candy and playing games. She was surprised to see me at school!

Winter 2009

Nothing says winter like playing in the snow and having a indoors tea party! We went outside after that huge snowstorm and later tea was served to Daddy and the stuffed animals.

Snow Day

Ugh- we a got about a foot of snow on Wednesday and needless to say school was cancelled and just about everything else was closed. Rachel and I stayed home and "played school". She enjoyed it and wanted to do it again. Mommy was glad school was in session today. Here is Rachel "sewing" with yarn on a mesh produce bag.

Happy New Year!

As much as the presents and the toys were fun, I think Rachel enjoyed visiting everyone most of all. Here she is on a play date with her friend Alex at Pump It Up.

Merry Christmas!

Joy To The World! The Lord Is Come!

Last day of school until January

Rachel had her last day of school until January. She has really liked school so far. She had a student teacher for a semester- and all the kids really liked her. She came to visit them for their little party- they wore pajamas to school and decorated cookies.
