Grandparents Day At The Little Gym ...

Today at Little Gym, it was Grandparents day. Stella was so excited that all four of her Grandparents were there to watch her. She brought Nana and Lolo out on the mat to show them the ropes. The Papa's sat and watched her. They were amazing at our little gymnast. Miss Randi was showing her all sorts of new things today. She said that some 3 and 4 year old's can't do some of the stuff she is already doing on her own. She is something else, she has no fear. She continues to amaze us daily. (P.S. Grandmas, I spared you guys ... I did not show the videos I had of you two. And, I am bummed the only picture I had of the Grandpas it was blurry)

Merry Music ...

This was our last music class of the year. We will start up again the middle of January. We had so much fun singing Christmas songs and Stella got to wear her new Christmas outfit.

Silly Girl ...

My silly little girl ... She was pretending to be asleep in the back of the shopping cart at Sam's club. Ok, so look what concoction she came up with for lunch. Mac and cheese, carrots, grapes, pickles and dill dip and yes, she did eat it. Weird and silly all at the same time.

Elf On The Shelf ...

Stella was afraid of "Eddie" at first. Once we explained what Eddie was here to do, she was ok with him being around. Often times I find myself asking her to do things and if not, Eddie will tell Santa. Hey, it works !!! She loves waking up to search for Eddie and to also open the advent calender door for her next piece of chocolate. She and Rich have their little routine now, They look for Eddie, get her chocolate and turn on the Christmas light and then they come in and wake me. Oh boy, would I just love to sleep in some days. But, hey .... what a gift it is to hear that little voice say "morning mom" ... Music to my ears.

Christmas Shows ...

I love this time of the year .... I love all the Christmas shows for the kids. I just wish she would actually sit long enough to watch a whole one from start to finish .

Decorating Done ...

Finally, all the decorating is done !!! The house and the tree never look the same from year to year. I guess all that matters is that it's all up.

2nd Dentist Visit ...

Stella had her second dentist appt with Dr. Hein . The first time she went they just counted her teeth and this time she actually got them cleaned. She brought monkey along for the visit and I was surprised how good she was. She sat still and let them clean her teeth. I was so proud of her.
