***TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS***.....

Fra-gel-ie must be French!

The kids all had me write what they wanted to say to Santa in a letter with his cookies milk and carrots for the reindeer.

This is what the kids made for their teachers for Christmas this year.  They are home-made crayons in a can.  The can says "Color your World with Love"

Counting down the time.

Having some breakfast all together, which we don't always get to do.

We are all so happy and looking forward to some outdoor fun, a party and of course Santa.

Who could resist this?  Not me, he was cracking me up all morning.  I almost think he was more excited about the day than the kids!

We had a great morning and it is always fun when everyone is excited and happy!
