CHCS Christmas Party

Ridley had a sweet little Christmas breakfast party with her friends at school.  She is getting so big, and I enjoy seeing her personality come out.  She is a stinker!

Garden Party at CHCS

Today was one of the best days ever.  Reed's class hosted a Garden Party for their Moms.  We enjoyed tasty muffins and juice while we looked at the class's beautiful art projects. My sweet Reed was so loving and proud to show off his art.  He made me a gorgeous watercolor hat, a portrait, and a hand printed towel.  

My favorite thing was the card.  I love the fun questions and hilarious answers.  I asked Reed about the Ramen noodles, and he informed me that it is his favorite dish.  He wants me to make them everyday for dinner. Reed is too funny!

Chapel Hill's Spring Program

Our life is full of blessings.  

Today, we celebrated Reed.  He is a smart boy with a kind heart.  He always loves going to school and has an amazing memory of Bible verses.  Chapel Hill has been a perfect fit for him.  

Reed sang with his class in Grace Chapel and then showed off his artwork.  I could tell he was proud of himself, and he was beaming.  We are so proud of him!

A couple of family shots by the fountain.

Valentine Photo Booth

The littles had a Valentine photo booth at their pre-school.  I giggled when I received the proofs.  The first one breaks my heart, because it is so obvious that Reed wasn't feeling it.

He somehow gets it together for a forced smile.

Ridley is playing coy or a little Dr. Evil with her pinkie in her mouth. 

These children crack me up!  Happy Valentines' Day!

CHCS Valentines

I dropped off two adorable little ones today with all their Valentine goodies.  Reed was the talk of the school with his dear stand box, and he was so proud.

Ridley was playing hard to get this morning.  She refused to smile and after several tries, I gave up.  She still looked precious in her heart dress.

In the afternoon, I joined Reed at his Valentine party. They had this large note pad that each student said what they love.  Our sweet Reed said mom and dad. My heart melts...

Sweet Reed getting all sugared up with an ice cream sundae full of toppings!

Look who is finally smiling!  Miss Riddles had a great party!

Thanksgiving Crafts

The sweetest and cutest placemats I have ever seen.

CHCS Thanksgiving Feast

Reed enjoyed his feast with his class, and they chowed down in their festive handmade attire.  He selected Rolling Pig as his name, and it is a perfect fit.  My sweet javelina!

First Day for the Littles

Reed and Ridley started school this morning.  They were both excited to move to a new class and meet their new teachers.  We are all looking forward to another fantastic year of fun and learning.  

Stars Academy Last Day

The last day of the year always brings out the emotions.  I learned the hard way a few years ago, so I now open these memory books when I get home.  Both books were very sweet and made me realize how much my little babies have grown this year.

Fun Days

We are really blessed to have Reed in a wonderful preschool.  I was looking through his class Shutterfly account, and I noticed several fun memories from this past school year.

Umbrella Parade

Art with a message

Reed colored this at school, and he shared the Bible verse with us.  I love it!  It will stay on permanent display at the Allison Museum.  Hoping that the message catches on with us all. 

Monday

Reed's preschool was closed, so we enjoyed some free time.  We have been wanting to make the tractor molds, and today was the perfect day to give it a shot.  The molds turned out perfect, and Reed is a wonderful painter.  He mixed colors and was Mr. Chatterbox, which I loved.  He is full of stories and has quite the imagination.   Today, he told me all about his friends at school.

Reed and Ridley watched out the little window of the gameroom for Ryland to come home.  I think this is one of my favorite pictures ever.  I love the sweet moment of excitement when they saw the bus turn into the neighborhood.
