Christmas program and this & that!

Ellie had her sweet little Friendship School Christmas program the night after we returned from McAllen.  She was a "child nestled in her bed" in 'Twas The Night Before Christmas!

Here she is with her sweet teachers.

with one of her favorite men!

 Gracie with one of her BFFs!

 Katie worked very hard on her Roberto Clemente book report!

We were very proud of her when she made a 99 on the project!

Here is a story she wrote about "The Christmas Ornament."  It was very cute.  In the bag is a handprint ornament that I was able to help all of the kids in her class make.  It's a keepsake!

It was hard to get a good picture of it, but it is really cute!

I found Ellie like this one day during her nap.  Apparently, her friends needed a nap as well!

Ellie was looking cute on our Christmas grocery shopping trip day!
















After all the time it took, and all we bought, both of us had lost a bit of our smile, BUT Grammer & Pappy were coming for Christmas, so the smile quickly returned!
