things have been so busy for us so many apologies to you loyal readers who have patiently been waiting for a blog update!
on december 6th, we celebrated st. nick day! after dinner, the doorbell rang. when i answered the door, no one was there but i think it must have been st. nick since there was a box full of fun stuff for ME! i got some toy jewelry, coloring books, animal crackers and a little toy train kit. i was so excited so play with all of my new things!
last weekend, i was a gumdrop in the nutcracker! each year, my dance studio does the show and all the dancers get to perform. it was so amazing to be in my pretty blue costume on the huge stage! i loved every minute of performing and did a wonderful job during my five minutes of fame! (the stage pictures are from the dress rehearsal and are very blurry since mommy was not allowed to use the flash.)
we have been busy getting ready for christmas around here! grandma and grandpa sent me an elf on the shelf and he has become quite a special addition to our family. i named him dude. each night when i go to bed, he goes to the north pole to tell santa about my day. then he’s back in our house by morning in a different spot than the day before. i have had a great time trying to find him and i talk to him quite often.
we have also been making christmas cookies for my teachers at school and i have been putting an ornament on our advent tree each day. mimaw got me a really cool one that is magnetic so it’s on our fridge! most days it doesn’t really look like a tree since i like to rearrange the magnets and make my own creation!
i really enjoy playing with my little people nativity. we have one at my school too so i have learned more and more about who the little people in the nativity are and that they are there to celebrate jesus’s birthday. our nativity at home doesn’t have the baby jesus in it yet since we will wait until christmas morning to place him in the manger. for some reason, i really like the three kings the best and carry them around with me.
singing, “you better watch out, you better not cry…”
