Sitting up no help

I think she had been able to sit for a week or do, but she is much more steady now.

Miss Independent

Today, I walked in to pick Reagan up from school and she was in the bigger kids’ classroom – the Buttercups – and happy as can be. Her new teacher told me that at morning snack time she asked Reagan if she wanted to have snack with the Buttercups and then she never look back. She went to the playground, had lunch and nap with her new class and she has a new cubby. She loved it and, just as we hoped and expected, jumped right in.

We had talked since about Thanksgiving about her moving up to the next classroom and over the whole break. She kept saying, “I’ll be a Buttercup soon.”

When we got home today, Tim asked her about her day and she told him, “I’m a Buttercup!”

Sisters

We are packing up and heading home soon. We had a great trip to Ohio but we are looking forward to getting back into the routine (especially getting back to school).

Papa Noel

Santa stopped by the house last night to hand deliver a few gifts. Reagan nearly jumped out of her skin she was so excited when he walked in.

Santa comes tonight

Since we are traveling for Christmas starting tomorrow, we asked Santa to stop by our house early. So he came tonight and the kids will see it in the morning!

Our second “tree”

Over the past few years, we have hung our cards in a few different places, but didn’t really have a plan for this year. So, I decided to build a “tree” on a blank wall in the basement. I love it!
