That evening, the whole family went to school for Mathapalooza and the Book Fair. The school did a great job on the event. Both of the girls received a pencil pouch full of goodies when we walked in. The classrooms had different activities set up. Sidney seemed to thrive. She has not shown a big interest in learning until recently. She has been rhyming, drawing, counting, etc. She will be starting Kindergarten next fall. At the Math night, it became clear that she is getting ready and will certainly enjoy school. After playing games and choosing a book at the Book Fair, we had cookies and drinks in the cafeteria.
Last night, my work had our annual Christmas Party. This has become an event that I look forward to. I am not much of a party person, but I do work with a good bunch of people who have great families. My boss, Kurt, and his family hosted the event this year. They have a beautiful new home that they opened up to everyone.
Early in the evening the girls were off playing and everyone was mingling. Suddenly there was a blood curdling scream and Sidney came flying through the house. She was in the middle of decorating her gingerbread man, when Santa snuck up behind her. After I calmed her down (a little bit), she actually spoke to the big guy. "I want a present", was all she could say. After Santa settled in and passed out gifts, he stuck around to visit for a bit. Sidney still did not want much to do with him. Though she did tell Kevin, "Do you know who my favorite person in the whole world is?" Of course, he was thinking it was himself. "Santa" she replied. No one ever could have guessed that!
We celebrated the birthday's of Grandma Terrell and Kevin last weekend. I did not get too many pictures. However, Kevin took this cute picture of the girls with Grandma Terrell. They were very proud of the cake they had decorated for her.
