Secret message

Amelia was working away when I walked through the room. When I tried to peek, she shooed me away. "It's a secret message Mom!"

A few minutes later, she came to find me with this message.

Sweet girl, we love you!

A 1st

William, Gemma and I got to attend William's winter wonderland festival evening at school. While we were there, William requested to complete a craft in the craft area. This boy has not once ever willing suggested a craft. Never. Not once. I was a little hesitant to buy the ticket to complete the craft due to his non crafty track record. He finally talked me into it and lo and behold: he completed his chosen craft without any prodding or cajoling from me. All by himself. So proud!

It snowed last weekend!

Do you want to know what Gemma thought? She shares her view in the video. (Note: I don't understand 99% of what she is saying here)

Amelia's Christmas Program

Amelia had a preschool Christmas program well over a week ago.  Perhaps 2 weeks ago now?  Despite her belting out the words at top volume for the last month, she developed a little stage fright and only halfway participated in the singing.  We didn't get any great video due to our location in the (very big) crowd.  I was hoping that over the next few weeks I would be able to catch her in a good moment and get a little video of her singing her Christmas songs.  Please enjoy the 3 videos below of Amelia performing her Christmas program songs!
