Counting Down...

Every day starts with another part of the manger scene being added on the advent calendar and the question "How many more days????" We are busy reading Christmas books,  wrapping, planning, and packing for our holiday on the road this year but in-between all that, we took time for  some events, the highlight of which was the annual St. Joseph's School Christmas show.  It's hard to believe but Beatrice and her classmates fit in with the  "big kids" now compared to the cute little tots performing in  PreK/K.  She was chosen to be an angel and played the part beautifully.  Grade 2 sang Joy to the World and We Three Kings and it was a wonderful event.





She's starting to sing the melody of songs and remember lyrics better.  I do so hope she loves singing as much as Anthony, I, and both of our families do and have for generations.




On Saturday after aikido, we headed to the roller skating rink classmate Julia's 7th birthday party.



Super fun!!!



and here's the letter to Mr. C., mailed yesterday.  The wish list is longer than ever, a sure sign that this girl is growing up!   :(



and, more proof of that fact came when we received this school picture the other day.  Holy 8-year old!!!
