Holiday Update!

It looks like things have gotten away from me again. We've just been very busy! Both the girls schools have kept us hopping with a variety of activities, and we added a social skills group one night a week. I wrote about that class as well as Ky's status over on our other blog in case you missed the update.

I forgot to post pictures of the girls in their Halloween costumes, but trust me - they were adorable! Ky was Batgirl and Savvy was the red Jungle Fury Power Ranger. They were troopers and trick or treated for almost three hours!

Thanksgiving was also great fun. We spent it with family and ate lots of awesome food. Savvy said she was most thankful for ham and Ky said snow. Go figure.

We've finally made it to Christmas and the girls are going stir crazy waiting for the big day. We've tried to fill the days with fun activities, but I'm still glad we're down to only "five sleeps." We went to the Festival of the Trees, to see my niece perform in the Little Match Girl - which was incredible, and to sit on Santa's lap. The girls did their own Christmas shopping for the first time this year and it is a lot of fun watching them get excited to give.

This year Ky is asking for a cosmetic case with make-up, a lighted mirror, and an mp3 player with speakers. Savvy wants a picnic basket, a guitar, and a stuffed beaver. Thankfully, they have been very good! However, I learned that stuffed beavers are not easy to find, and when you go into a store and ask for a beaver - people look at you funny.

Today was Kyrie's Christmas Program. She was very nervous and overwhelmed by such a large crowd. She tried to sing though and I couldn't be more proud of her. I got video, but I am having issues with uploading it. Until I figure it out, here is a picture of the star after the show.



Savvy's program is tomorrow, so there is more cuteness to come!
