Matthew's Christmas Program

Matthew has his first pre-school Christmas program. It was the cutest thing ever!! The theme was "Birthday Party for Jesus", so sweet! I am so thankful that he goes to a Christian pre-school so that they are reinforcing the TRUE meaning of Christmas! He absolutely LOVES school and sang all the songs... it was 30 mins of straight singing! The kids all did a great job and were so cute! Then we had a little reception after, it was all adorable! So proud of our little guy! I hate to see him grow up though! The time goes so fast and it makes me sad to think he is getting so independent and doesn't need me as much! But I am so proud of the little guy that he is turning into! I love him to pieces and am SO thankful for the gift he is in our lives!!

Here he is singing with a group after putting their ornaments on the tree.
And there he is with his class singing Happy Birthday to Jesus

Here we are at the "reception"...

Matthew and Santa

This was the FIRST year Matthew didn't cry with Santa! he was actually pretty excited! We went early on and there was NO line! It was perfect! He even sat a little longer and had a nice chat with Santa while I paid for the prints! It was cute! I should post the last 2 years photos where he is screaming in terror! it's pretty funny to see the progression! :)

1st Annual Cookie Bake

I had such a fun Friday night! I am currently in a Bible Study with 3 of the greatest girls (Ali, Dana & Leslie)! I truly feel like they are my sisters! I love them all! Dana had done a "cookie bake" at her house with some other friends in the past and we all loved this idea! So... the girls came over with their favorite recipes and we made 4 batches of YUMMY cookies! It was so much fun! We also went through 2 bottles of wine, which may have added to our fun! :) Such a fun night filled with lots of laughter! We will be making this an annual tradition! I loved every minute of it! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures... so bummed!!!
