We have been pretty busy the past couple of days, but they have been filled with lots of fun exciting things. Wednesday night we went to Marcella's Christmas Party at her school. It has been confirmed she is still afraid of Santa, and I am not sure if she will ever in her life sit on his lap, so when she calmed down enough to realize we weren't going to make her sit on Santa's lap, she had a fun time. They had lots and lots of yummy treats. We made a really cute ornament, and we got to listen to Marcella sing three songs with her classmates. I am really in love with her school. She has so much fun and is learning a lot.

This little one is usually asleep when we do our fun crafts. I am sorry to say that it is mostly planned that way, but if you ever want to come over and try to stay one step ahead of this girl I will have you over any day. It would give me a wonderful break. She has been keeping me on my toes and has been wearing me out. Her new word is up or "ou" for out. It is super cute to hear her say it and she has been picking up on her signs really well. The best is her snuggles lately. Just looking at her makes me want to go wake her up and squeeze her! Don't worry I know better than to do that!

This is Miss Farrah Marcella's main teacher. She is so nice and Marcella loves her.

This beautiful little lady has saved my sanity more than once the past couple weeks, and I was glad to be able to hang out with them the past couple days. This is Caroline before her commencement, and...

...after. She did it. She graduated and is now officially a Master Gardner. I know this is a little cheesy, but thanks for letting me come with you guys to see you get this achievement. I am super proud of you and am excited to have you help me figure out how to make my little piece of flower bed look nicer this coming spring. Way to Go!!

The past 2 days of our countdown I haven't taken any pictures and I am sad. While we were up with the McCann's we made these Christmas Wreaths out of tissue paper. With the scraps Owen and Marcella got creative and made some cute pictures. Thanks for doing a craft with us. We had so much fun!

I made Fridays on our countdown the days that we watch Christmas movies. Marcella can invite a friend over, too, if she wants. She also earned a Dessert Bar from her job chart, so we combined the two activities and had a fun time eating yummy banana splits and watching Mickey's Christmas Carol. Thanks for coming over Hallie, Marcella had a lot of fun. We aren't getting less busy so I will try to keep up. Merry Christmas, and I hope you all are having a fabulous one so far.
