As I was getting the kids ready for Claire's 3rd grade Fine Arts Night, I couldn't help but think back to last year. Her 2nd grade Fine Arts Night had to be rescheduled 2 times due to snow! We have very cold temps and a few flurries today, but nothing yet compared to last year. Many thanks for that!!
Shuler's 3rd graders did a wonderful job! Fun songs, good behavior and not too long! : )
Claire looked so beautiful and grown up. She even let me put a clip in her hair, which was
the most "dressed up" she's been in a long time. She has such a wonderful and unique personality and she always knows what she wants. I love that about her, most of the time!
Shuler's 3rd grade class ~
Ella: so proud of her big sis!
Last week we celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving with my brother David and my brother Dean and his family. Baby Sophie is such a cutie and a perfect addition to our family! My girls, especially Avery, fawned over Sophie all weekend. They just couldn't get enough of her! Thank goodness for nieces to get those "baby fixes"!
Pretty good lookin' family ~
Poor Ella woke up with the stomach flu on Thanksgiving morning.
She had to lay low for most of the day, but as only a 6 year old can do,
she was up and at it again very soon!
And last, but not least, Happy Birthday to my Mom and sister Laura!~
They both celebrated birthdays on "Black Friday". Laura celebrated
her birthday in sunny California, where she now lives. Poor mom had
to make due with the rest of us here in cold Iowa! At least she got some
good desserts out of the deal~ : )
