Christmas School Party

The girls and I had our homeschool Christmas party today. We spent the whole day at Chuck E. Cheese. I was very proud of the girls and their behavior. They were so kind to each other, sharing rides and tickets.

Each of the girls got a necklace for their Christmas gift. It wasn't much, but they were happy to have a present. It's a lot of fun for me to not only be their mom, but also their teacher. This was our "school party", but I got to enjoy it also as a mom. I'm not sure when our next official homeschool party will be, but I'm already looking forward to it!

Aliya's 6 yr Birthday

Today is Aliya's 6 yr birthday. She now considers herself a big kid. She is no longer a small child. There are so many things that you get to do when you are six--you can make your own peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, you can wash dishes, ride big kid rides, loose more teeth...the possibilities are endless!

I still remember when she was just a little baby. She had those cheeks that you couldn't resist kissing!

This is my favorite picture of all three girls together. The stair steps are not as spread out as they used to be! They are ALL growing up!


Happy Birthday, Aliya! WE LOVE YOU!
