Magic shaker bottles

Today we made magic shaker bottles....they called them snowglobes. They had a great time making them, and after they were done, they would make wishes and pretend to see things (I have seen this on the santa claus movie) They were making up all sorts of stories and imagining wonderful wonderlands. It was very precious to watch. These are the magical moments that remind me of why I do, what I do!....not that I ever forget.

R is for Reindeer

We went to see Santa and his Reindeer today. The couger mountain zoo has all of Santa's reindeer. We got to feed them. This is not prancer. We have prancers antlers. (I purchased a set of his antlers....very cool!)
We walked up a big hill to go see Santa.
Santa gave us chocolate kisses.
We were at the bottom of the hill and Jesse ran all the way back up to say goodbye to Santa.

Reading

awwwww.....Olivia is reading a story to mason. Here is proof, they really do get along. Greta is engrossed in her own story. If she doesn't know the story, she just makes it up as she goes along.
I am not sure what these little darlings were doing, but it sure looked cute, so I had to take a picture. They loved our tree......I love them.

T is for Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving! We made a little feast. The kids helped with the turkey...a little. They got to see the giblets and feel the turkey inside and out. We stuffed it and put it in the oven. The kids were in charge of checking the little red timer stuck in the turkey. They were soooooo excited when it had popped up! We also made fresh beans, fresh cranberry sauce, and had canned mandarine oranges. We ran out of time for the potatos. They didn't notice.
The cranberry sauce was their favorite!......oh, I mean the sparkeling cider. We did cheers!

I am so thankful for all the beautiful children I get to spend time with during the day. I have the best group of children and their families.
Thank you so much! I hope you all had a Yummy and Thankful Thanksgiving.
