Christmas Pictures

I totally stole this idea from Mom Tog Diaries. I thought it was adorable and needed a new idea for this year’s Christmas card. Cards are coming soon but here’s the pictures.

I made a Dress

This is my friend Kim. She wanted a royal dress. So we picked a pattern and fabric. Many hours later- a dress. You look lovely Kim!

First Day of School

Because the kids are in two different schools they all had a different first day. Joshua’s was first. Welcome to first grade.

Aria was second with her first day of kindergarten. She had a GREAT first day and couldn’t wait to go back this week. Joshua’s class is directly across the hall from her so he can walk her to class each morning.

Andrew was nervous about starting a new school but we went to the open house and met his teacher. He felt better after that. He’s going to be learning Spanish this year as well as taking choir. In 3rd grade they also start changing classes. He’ll have different teachers for all his core classes. It’s a huge step but we know he’ll do great. And yes, he does have to wear a uniform. He was most annoyed about having to keep his shirt tucked in but we told him he’d get used to it.

 

Aren’t they getting big?? Christopher and I will be finding things to stay busy…we’ve already got a bunch of things crossed off the list for today.

Bodie Island Lighthouse

We spent one afternoon a the Bodie Island Lighthouse, which is currently under renovation. It’s so pretty, I can’t wait for it to be open for vistors.
