"Above all else, children need to know and feel they are loved, wanted, and appreciated. They need to be assured of that often. Obviously, this is a role parents should fill, and most often the mother can do it best." Erza Taft Benson

Holiday Celebrations

Wow! I have been putting of this post because there is soooooo much to journal (blog) about. Christmas was very magical this year. Carter was all into the decorations, the music, Santa, and present giving and receiving.  Kensi on the other hand wasn’t a fan of Santa, however did enjoy her present opening and the Christmas goodies. We had a great Christmas and made wonderful memories.

 

Where to start! Ok..here we go!
Preschool Christmas Party
*Carter and his little preschool friends had a yummy Christmas meal. They all got a little present (a book) from their teachers. To end the party Santa came and read the kids a book and gave the class a present as a whole (a play tent to play in the gym during play time)
