Holidays are here!

We spent yesterday, taking Natalie to do some Christmas shopping at the mall and they had quite a line to ride the Choo Choo train! She just loved it and said choo choo! everytime the horn tooted. She really enjoyed that the seats were so low that her feet could touch the ground. Then we ate gingerbread cookies and passion tea on our way to Lane & Sanson. A tradition with mom and pop, we always buy one tree ornament from the tiny little shop that you have to squeeze your way through just to stop and look and all the decorations packed onto each tree! Natalie enjoyed looking at everything!

Natalie is enjoying her time at school now, yet she still cries a bit when we drop her off, but is so happy to see us when we pick her up! I signed her up for a library card last week and can't wait to take her one day on our way home from school. She LOVES books that have popups or texture that she can touch. We really do read everyday and sometimes read through a sticker book and she is happy to place the pictures where she wants. Never a day passes that she doesn't color. Her strokes begain light and big, now they are bold and swirling. She's even exploring tight close together coloring.

We did take Natalie and Buzzy for pictures with Santa, but Nat was afraid of him and cried then Buzzy didn't want to sit with him either, so I'm unsure what the final will look like. I'll post a copy here when they are returned :P
