Ava's Christmas Concert

On December 14th we received invitations to Ava's very first Christmas concert.

We were told she'd be reciting a poem (and saying/reading more than anyone in her class.)

When we walked in she was blowing kisses to the audience. WOW what a star.

But we already knew that!

We were very proud of her.

Here are a few shots of the performance, her teacher Ms. Kim and check out the handmade reindeer shirt they made with painted on hands and feet!

Handsome Sean!

New inductee into Jr. Beta Club

Allyson was up singing in the mirror this morning JayZ's "All black everything" as she was getting dressed for her Jr. Beta Club induction ceremony. Mommy picked out her outfit of red and black top with scarf, black velvet skirt with ruffles, black tights and black flats!





Daddy, Mommy and Ms. Ava cheered her on and Daddy did the pinning.

Proud Parents?? Yes we are!

We are so impressed with this school it was soooooo hi-tech..the kindy orientation was done in Powerpoint and in each classroom there are 5 computers!!!
They also have 2 computer labs and a huge media center!
After orientation we were allowed to visit the classrooms!!!!
OMG I got so teary eyed when I saw Sean's name on his classroom roster!
The teacher (Ms. Michaud) Pronounced ME-SHOE was so nice and had the classroom all set up!! She took pics of the kids and Sean charmed her right off the bat!!!
