Big Sister Starts Kindergarten.....

 So excited for my big girl....she started kindergarten last week on Aug 10th.  It was a great day for her!  She has been so anxious to start school.  Mommy didn't cry, I am just so proud of her!  She loves her school.  Little sister is a little sad, but getting used to the new routine with mommy.  Here are the pics I took that day....

I wonder what she's thinking?.....she's so cute!!!

  

 Ohhh she's growing so fast!!!  I'm glad she has one more year of 1/2 day of school!  Next year, she will be gone from 8-3pm.....makes me sad :(  I told her the other day that mommy wants her to stay little and she said "mommy, I want to be big!"

Big sister graduates from preschool......

Ahhhhh what a bittersweet day!!  Big sister graduated last Thursday.  She is super excited to start kindergarten in less than 3 months!!  I can't believe how big she is!

We are so proud of her.  We know she is going to do great!! She is definitely ready, although we are not :(

Little sister was in the worst mood.....welcome to the 4's!....lol  She won't think it's funny when she's older :)

Nope!....no smiles for the camera.....lol

I'm excited for big sister to start her new chapter in life.  Although, little sister and I will miss her everyday!.....sigh.....

Gingerbread Houses

The girls made gingerbread houses the last day of school.  It was last Thursday.  I loved being able to dress little sister in the very same outfit her sister wore last year.  You can see it HERE.  So fun!!! I save the clothes that they both wear....I'm sentimental that way...ha!

Little sister making her house for the very first time...she loved it!

Here it is, mommy!

Big sister is concentrating.....working hard...lol

This is the best we could do for a picture together!!  Little sister is hit and miss.....awww....soon enough she will pose for me, I know! :)

These memories are so special!  I can't even believe my oldest will go to kindergarten next year :(

Happy Holidays!!!

Gingerbread House

Big sister got to make her very FIRST gingerbread house last Thursday in her class. I was able to go and help her with it. In fact, it was my very FIRST time doing something like this. I never did this in Mexico while growing up. We have a new fun family holiday tradition now! I loved it! So much fun!

Kissing her gingerbread house....silly girl!

Does she look like a trouble-maker or what on this photo??

Here's what her gingerbread house looks like. She says it looks "yummy"!

Her sweet friend, Macey

Photos with mommy :)

I LOVE LOVE the holidays!!!!

Big Sister's Christmas Program

I am finally posting big sister's Christmas performance. It was last Tuesday. I was glad daddy got to stop by for a few and watch her sing. I didn't take many photos because of the lighting. I took a few short videos of all the kids singing. So cute!

Big sister was so happy to see her daddy :)

Daddy with his girls :)

The kids got to eat Christmas cookies after the program....

The cute videos.....
