Family Tree

Hannah had a class project to make a family tree. This month they are learning the roles of family members, how families work together, traditions and celebrations families have during the winter months.

Here she is with the finished project! She decided at the last minute this morning to add the picture of her and Haydn.

Of course Haydn had to be in one picture!

lunch date

Haydn and I met Hannah for lunch today. We had walking tacos that were actually good. Hannah LOVED having us there. We also got to go out for her lunch recess which Haydn loved. Haydn did pretty good at lunch, she will be ready for next year. They have to wear their coats to lunch for they go right outside after eating!!

Visiting Santa

We headed to the mall after school today. The girls enjoyed posing by the reindeer for some pictures. They rode the train and sat on Santa's lap and told him what was on their wish list.

Major Milestone

Not sure how I forgot to post about this in November?! Haydn is not wearing a diaper to bed anymore. I have had diapers in my house for 7 years! YAY!!

Also forgot to mention...Haydn still does not get out of bed on her own in the mornings. She will call for me to come get her!!

Christmas in MA

We opened gifts this morning. Each year is more magical as the kids get older and more into Christmas. We all got some great gifts and created some great memories.

Vada loved being with papa

Nana bought the 5 matching PJ's and then ironed on their nicknames! Trying to get a picture of all 5 looking at the camera at the same time!

cousin presents and lighted parade

We let the cousins open their presents from each other on Saturday morning.

Christmas in the Ayr

The Cunningham's flew in on Thursday morning. We went down to MA on Friday morning. It was great to see Miss Vada again and see Anna Leigh's growing belly and Patrick. Vada put up with Hannah carrying her around all weekend. Haydn in her face all weekend. Friday the grandkids decorated gingerbread houses.

Vada loved the frosting, here Hannah is putting frosting on a M&M for her!

Now she is eating it from Hannah's hand! She was treated like a queen by the older 4!
