Princess for a Day

While out of school over the holidays my friend, Stephanie, and I took our girls to a cute boutique that had a princess team room. The girls were able to select from a large wardrobe of princess dresses and accessories. Then they got their hair, make up and nails done before enjoying tea. 

K6 Christmas party

For Christmas the parents were invited to come and spend an afternoon with our kindergarten student, seeing what they do. We got to have free center time with our child as our guide. Katherine was so proud to show me around her classroom and to teach me how to do everything.

 Her favorite is the computer center. In her classroom it is up in a loft. 

Katherine is showing me how to paint on the computer. 

This is Katherine's buddy Max and his mom, Lauren. Lauren and I both attended TCA and were in carpool together when we were in elementary. 

Talking on the phone at the home center. I don't think she needs to practice that skill!

These kids are amazing with technology. She knows how to use that smart board!

They had motions for the 12 days of Christmas.

Our gingerbread house was full of candy. 

Church Christmas Pageant

This fall the girls participated in our church choir program. Katherine loved it, Caroline, not so much. At the end of the semester they did a Christmas program. There is nothing cuter than a bunch of preschoolers dressed as farm animals (Caroline is a dove) and a bunch of kindergarten angels. 

Santa's Village

We have enjoyed going to Santa's Village in a neighboring suburb the past 2 years. There are about 15 houses with activities for the kids in each one. The girls had a lot of fun running around to the houses with friends.

Dentist

Caroline and Katherine had a dentist appointment. It was Caroline's first real appointment with a cleaning. She was very excited until we got there and then she hit behind me. The hygienist is amazing and within a minute Caroline was doing everything she asked.

Santa #2

We went back to see Santa a second time with our good friends Emma and Julia. These girls are some of my girls best friends so it was a lot of fun.

Katherine and Emma with Santa.

Even though we already had good pictures with Santa it is always nice to have more!
