Britton, being in pre-k, goes on lots of field trips. Going to the nursing home to sing songs to the residents is a monthly event for the class. For the month of December the kids sang Christmas songs and hung candy cane door hangers on the residents doors. The older people just beam when those little kids come and show them love and attention.
The little boys are in the same class at church on Wednesday nights. They love their class, coming home singing all sorts of songs that I sang growing up. Their favorite, and mine, being I'm in the Lord's Army with actions!
Wednesday night they sang a few songs before the congregation and the Kindergarteners each recited a part of John 3:16. Blaine said "John 3:16."

Ryan and I had his company Christmas party the same night so after the boys sang we had to leave. I love this picture of them. Blaine so casually threw his arms across Britton's shoulder and while they both have ties on, Britton adamently stated he didn't want to wear his suit.
Gracelyn was invited to the Nutcracker ballet Sunday afternoon by her Nana. When Ryan's mom called her Saturday afternoon to ask her she excitedly said yes and talked about it until she left Sunday. Gracelyn told her brothers and everyone she saw at church Sunday.
all 4!

ready to leave
I don't have pics from the performance but I know Gracelyn had fun. She told us all about it. While I was making supper that night our little sweetpea passed smooth out.
This guy...
found his glasses! They had been missing for at least 2 weeks. When I told Blaine Sunday to get shoes for church he came back with his hands behind his back. He told me he didn't find shoes but to guess what he found. I had no idea so he beamed as he revealed his glasses! They were in the bottom of his closet under lots of shoes so they needed major adjustments. After a visit to the eye doc Monday morning and Blaine was back in business!
At the beginning of the year, each student in Brandon's Gifted & Talented class selected a country to study. Throughout the semester the kids have done reports and presentations over different areas of the selected country. For Christmas they studied holiday traditions and were to bring a food familiar to his/her country.
Brandon selected Ireland, being loyal to his dad's heritage. He totally enjoyed it and we all enjoyed hearing different facts. When it came time to make the food, all of the items he chose had alcohol in them. It was not going well. He finally chose a soda bread but that was a total flop In order to avoid Wal-mart again last night I searched and found some cookies for which I had all the ingredients.
Irish Lace Cookies. I didn't get a pic but he said they were really good and all the kids thought so too. He dined on Greek donuts, tamales, several different kids of cookies, jelly rolls. Needless to say, he had a great day today!
Today was Britton's party day and tomorrow is Blaine and Brandon's! Then Christmas Break!!
Merry Christmas!
