Ellie's Christmas Program

Show and Tell

 Showing how Crabby Paddy walks.

Ms. Kris has changed how Show and Tell is done since Ellie went there. Parents aren't volunteers on the same day their kid has Show and Tell. She says kids aren't as nervous that way, but I miss seeing it! Luckily Krista was the volunteer that day and took some pictures for me. 

More Scooter

 Benson had a rough day at preschool and the next day Scooter reminded him that Santa and Scooter are always watching.

 Scooter encouraged us to have a Christmas movie night with some popcorn.

 Scooter wants to be a Lusk too.

 Dolly had been wearing Ellie's matching nightgown until Scooter decided to try it on.

Piano

Good ambiance for piano lessons.

Christmas Carnival

Ellie and I went to her school book fair/ Christmas activity and saw Santa again!

These cute girls wanted to see Santa together. 

Scooter's Back!

 Scooter came on December 1st this year, so thats a lot of days of Scooter! He brought new Christmas jammies with him. 

 He encouraged us to get a Christmas tree and start decorating.

Benson accidentally bumped Scooter's hat with his leg and Ellie was sure his magic was gone. Turns out he's still magic, but the bump hurt his arm. We have to be more careful with Scooter.

 After a night at work, I came home in the morning to find Scooter zip lining on a candy cane from the dining room light to the living room light. Scooter is a daredevil.

 

Scooter was enjoying a pancake breakfast with his friends.

And today, he's playing hide and seek.

Tooth #2

 So Ellie insisted that her tooth come out TODAY, so Daddy did what daddys do and yanked it out. It wasn't quite as smooth as last time, but Ellie is a tough girl and got over it fast!

 Kinda nervous...

 Popsicles and the promise of a tooth fairy is all she needed to put the smile back on her face! What a tough girl.
