Christmas


Opening her Vsmile games


Very excited about Hi Ho Cherry-O



Play-dough!


Look I can be a scary dragon when I get out of the bathtub!!!


Well this was a very interesting Christmas for sure. There aren't many pictures because I forgot my camera at home when we went to Warsaw and Evansville/Jeffersonville. So that said we did open up gifts at our house on the Friday before Christmas (I know I know it was really early). We were really busy every day up until Christmas and since we were out of town we didn't want to have to drag all the gifts to my families house and Chad's mom's house. Anyway this whole Christmas season started off poorly since Grant had a bad habit of opening presents (not just his, everyones!!!) he opened a record 13 in a 30 min time frame. Then the Saturday before Christmas Rileigh was standing on the rocking horse instead of sitting on it and lost her balance and fell into the tree which in turn fell over. Rileigh was fine a few ornaments did not make it through the ordeal. We got the tree back up with no problems and then on Tuesday the day before Christmas eve Chad and I both came down with the stomach flu... go figure. We ended up feeling better on Christmas Eve but I will kinda be glad to see this Holiday Season come to an end. It will definately be one to remember!

Preschool Musical

Singing Away in a Manger



Rileigh's preschool had their Christmas program tonight and it did not disappoint. It was all 3-5 year olds all singing together..... I was quite entertaining. Rileigh had a part in the program where she placed a heart on a banner, she was very proud of herself. We weren't sure if the program would take place since we are supposed to get an ice storm sometime this evening. (ugh) When Rileigh walked in she was holding hands with her "best" friend Lainey, it was so cute! We got pics of her and her two best friends at the end of the program. Her class was supposed to go caroling at a nursing home yesterday but due to the weather the field trip was cancelled and Rileigh was very upset, so I am glad that there were no issues tonight with the weather.
Ok I was trying to upload a short video of the kids singing but as usual blogger does not like my videos for some reason and after an hour of attempting I gave up..... maybe another day I can get it to like my videos :(

The Christmas Play



Rileigh played Mary in the church play this weekend. It was quite hilarious

since the 3-5 year olds played the part of the manger scene. Rileigh and Riley were Mary and Joseph, they were pretty good did their part it was the shepherds that were funny. One of them kept taking his staff and raising it as high in the air as he could and then lowering quickly back down. We thought he was going to hit someone on the head it was quite comical. Here are some pics of my child looking oh so innocent.
