Megan Meets Santa
We have taught the kids that there is no such thing as Santa. But every year, if we see a Santa, we like to visit with him. We try to find nice looking ones –no mall Santa’s for us!
This year we took the kids to see Santa after getting our Christmas tree and taking a horse drawn hay ride.
My favorite thing about visiting Santa is what the kids ask for. This Santa almost had to beg the kids for “one thing”. They could not think of anything they wanted to ask him for. Finally they came up with some special requests.
Mark asked for snow. Andrea asked for snow. When Santa asked about her what toy, she thought hard before answering doll clothes. Audrey asked for a good Jesus’ birthday. Adrian asked for Christmas lights (he loves to drive around and look for them). Megan asked to go back to Momma.
I hope that the simple things bring you great joy this year!
McGuireclan Gang
WANTED!
This gang is notorious for mischief of the best kind. Be prepared for smiles, hugs, jokes and general silliness. Very contagious, so be careful!
REWARD!
Unexpected (and often needed) smiles and laughs.
Yes, this was one of those unexpected surprises.
Sisters
Here is the newest picture of all three girls.
First Sledding of the Year
See Us Grow
Here is the newest Nutcracker picture and one from 2007. If you want to compare them to last years, look here. A little bonus, the sweater that Adrian is wearing (at 4 1/2) is the same sweater Mark is wearing in 2005 just after turning 7.
It has been a few years, but we are all excited to see the Nutcracker Ballet again this year. We are hoping for nice weather on Friday morning for the performance.
We were surprised to find that Audrey grew the most this year, about 3.5 inches! Mark said Megan won. She grew 23 inches!
New Discovery
After much searching and failed attempts the last few days, Megan discovered her hands! Her discovery was made around midnight last night. Now, if she could discover that going to bed before 1:00 a.m. is excellent, we would have one perfect baby!
Independent Study
Adrian found a pile of alphabet worksheets. He has spent a few hours doing dot to dots, filling in the blanks and other fun worksheet pages. He shared his work with family, making sure he wrote who’s it was on the top of the paper.
This is only part of the pages he worked on.
Today’s Smile — Nap Time
One of the best ways to sleep, snuggled up with a warm sibling!
Blueberry Eyes
Wh
en Megan went for her two month check up, the nurse called her “Blueberry Eyes”. I have never heard that phrase but thought it was great!
Her appointment went well. She is very healthy and growing well. I forgot to ask the nurse for all the details, but she is over 11 pounds and is about 23 inches tall.
