Christmas Song






Yesterday, Anya's Little Knights group sang at the end of our Christmas Liturgy. Last year she was only 1 and pretty much yawned and picked her nose the entire time. This year, she gave a good performance! Everytime she see's our choir director she bursts out singing this song. The other day Veronica(one of the daycare providers) took Anya with to the cafeteria and teacher's lounge. When Anya saw Nancy (choir director) she started singing and put on a show for a handful of teachers that were in there. Veronica said the teachers got up and started dancing around Anya while she sang. So funny. She has music and dance in her soul! Oh and she also is a big fan of singing while playing this little piano at daycare. If you are friends with me on Facebook, I put up a video of the performance and you can look for "Little Knights" and see videos of her there too. I think this weekend they are going to update a few videos of Anya. For whatever reason, I can't get the video to upload here on the blog. I'll work on that.

Snow and Christmas Party

Over the past weekend we got close to 18 inches of snow! This one gives you a good idea of how much we got if you think about the snow being up to the arms of the chairs!


This is across the street from us. You can barely see the door!


down the block a parked car is almost buried!

Last Sunday Anya had her children's Christmas party at my school. There are fun activities like decorating ornaments, face painting, prizes, and presents from Santa. Last year, Anya didn't want to sit on Santa's lap- she was kind of afraid of him. This year, she waited patiently...
and she wanted to talk to him, but was still not quite ready to sit on his lap.I'm not sure how much Finn weighs these days but I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to 20 lbs. He is wearing 9 month clothing and we have to supplement his bottles with rice cereal already (he isn't even 4 months yet!). 8 oz at a feeding wasn't doing the trick anymore, he would be hungry after 2 hours so, now with a few scoops of rice cereal mixed in, he is doing much better! Anya is still doing great at being a big sister. She loves to talk to Finn, tickle him, sing to him, and help me with little chores. Finn smiles so big when she is around. He likes to watch her dance and he listens to her talk non-stop!

Nothing really new, just wanted to put up some new pictures and a cute video of Finn laughing.
