Merry Christmas from Hannah and I!

Hannah’s School Christmas Concert 2014

Hannah’s class did well at their Christmas concert and she was once again in her glory to be onstage singing her heart out!

Hannah and her good friend from class, Jennifer

This year she was excited when Grandma, Grandpa and Papa were all able to attend her concert!

Unfortunately Hannah’s teacher has been away ill the month of December.  We sure do miss you Mrs. C and are praying that you can return soon!  The kids did great pulling together a song and poem with their ECE and substitute teacher.  Great job kiddos!

Adventures of Bobble Chippey 2014–Part II

Bobble Chippey has been an adventurous elf and Hannah has such fun each morning looking for him.  I must say that as the month has progressed, he has gotten into a little more mischief!
Last Sunday morning Hannah woke up to find he had decorated our Christmas tree!!

One morning she found him hanging out of the baking accessories and candy drawer.
After a few days of rain in a row Bobble Chippey decided he better get prepared!
Puzzle time
Lego time
Hanging out on Hannah’s gingerbread house
And finally this week, Bobble Chippey watched Hannah and I wrap all our gifts and decided it looked like fun!
Only a few more nights before BC flies back to the north pole until next December.  We’ll miss this cute little guy!

Christmas Work Station Decorating Contest

This year we were challenged to decorate our work stations for Christmas and it ended up being a fun, laughter filled experience.  There wasn’t one work station from our group that wasn’t a team effort.  Each person came up with their ideas then others fed into those and we all helped one another decorate.

My coworkers quickly encouraged me to go with a Disney theme and after a few days of planning  this was my final product. 

My friend Adeline is an amazing baker creating wedding cakes and more in her spare time so it was perfect that she chose a theme of ‘Mrs. C’s Bake Shop.’

Colleen won a prize too for her fun ‘Tacky Christmas Sweater’ display.

Some other fun entries were:

‘Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer’

‘An Island Christmas’

‘Reindeer Crossing’

and more

Plans are already being made for next year’s contest after this year’s success!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Entertainment at the Piano

Hannah is working so hard at her piano practices, lessons and playing this year yet she still knows how to have fun too.  As you can see by these pics…sometimes more fun is had than practice accomplished.

She can play with her toes

and her chin!

Once she gets her sillies out we can normally proceed with a good practice.  We’re consistently practicing 5 days a week, most days before school and this is a much better time for both of us!

This little performance highlights not only my hard working little girl’s progress but also her fun, outgoing, adorable personality that I love so much!
