Christmas eve service

The girls went to the big people service with us. They loved the candle light part. :-) We sang a lot of Christmas carols as well. Those are always a hit.

Christmas story

It was so worth the effort to continue the tradition of acting out the Christmas story. It took a little effort and creativity to carve out the time.

Confidence

Today Sydney was picking out what she was going to wear to school tomorrow.  I was doing my best to guide her in a direction that I thought would be cute for all tlhe first day pictures.  Needless to say, she is quite confident in the outfit she has chosen.  So tomorrow is the day.  We start a new schedule and a new journey of discovering life with a school girl.  Alarms are set and her lunch is packed.  I'm so excited to see her grow as a person through the social aspect of school.  Have fun Sydney Marie.  You are a beautiful person from the inside out.  We love you so much.  Fly, girl Fly!

Meet and greet

Tonight was Meet and Greet.  Sydney was so excited that she coudln't hardly contain herself.  I'm so thankful that we decided to do Roaring Springs in the morning or I don't even know how I would have survived the day.  Here they are walking in with all of her school supplies.  Sydney is so confident and excited, I can't even imagine the stories I'm going to get.  Here is to a new chapter.
