The Best Sun Ever!

On Monday, Jenna's teacher, Mrs. Funch, invited all parents to stay at the end of class today so that the kids could perform a little song for us. I was pretty excited to see all the kids again, since their Christmas songs were so cute. When I walked into the classroom, all the kids were lined up with black hats made out of construction paper and little red bows attached to their shirts. And Jenna had a special job for the song- she was the Sun! She was standing on a chair with a sun cut out of construction paper and a big smile on her face. Here is a video of the performance. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!

Another first for Miranda

Today was a big day for Miranda...she had her first haircut! Even though she has very little hair, she needed the back trimmed since the left side was much longer than the right side and very frizzy. She has previously watched Jenna, Ian and I get our hair cut, but I thought she would still be a little hesitant about sitting in the chair all by herself. I was wrong! She sat right down, let Kathy put the cape on her and she sat perfectly still for the entire haircut! At the end Kathy put a little water on her hand and rubbed it over her hair and she got a big smile on her face. Hopefully her hair will start to grow and be nice and long like Jenna's- one can only hope!

Ski Trip

We spent January 1st through 5th up in the Poconos in 2 condos right on Camelback Mountain with Ian's family. It was a good time, despite the lack of "real" snow on and off the mountain. Ian managed to ski for a couple of days and Jenna enrolled in the "Sugar Bears" ski school to learn how to ski with her cousin Amber who is almost 5. The minimum age for the school was 4, but we said she was 4. The girls both did a great job. Amber even went down the bunny hill with an instructor. Jenna never moved from the very tiny teaching hill, but she looked like she was having a great time. The instructors said she will do great once she gains more leg muscle strength. Maybe that is why 4 is the minimum age! :-) Here is a video of Jenna during her class. Enjoy!!
