I volunteered in Annabelle’s kindergarten class today and I brought this craft for the kids. They loved it! They were all very eager to make their picture frame and their teacher is going to take their picture as a gift for their parents. I also got to join Annabelle for lunch. What a hoot these girls are eating together in the lunch room! She has a great group of friends at school and I’m happy to see her having so much fun with them.

After school we went to sing Christmas Carols at a local nursing home. Gwyneth was quite a little leader, jingled her bells, and wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Annabelle was upset to see some of the people in wheelchairs and was worried about the residents. It was hard for her to get in the Christmas spirit when she saw some of the sick residents, but Gwyneth told her she just had to sing louder. To be four again….so sweet, so wise.

We joined our church tonight for a potluck dinner and puppet show. The kids in the youth group performed the puppet show and the girls thought it was hilarious. Annabelle is going to participate in the next round.
