Only 10 days!

Just 10 days til Christmas! are you ready- I'm not- usually by this point I'm kicking back and am pretty much ready for it- but this year with the finiancial differences, I'm still getting the last few things, wrapping the last few gifts, searching for one more thing. it's exciting isn't it!
today is reveal day on our sketches for 2s4y, this week was Lauras sketch and I decided to stray from Christmas just a bit- and found this pack of gorgeous Anna Griffin papers I had. The cream paper is embossed with flowers and I just loved it. Then I found the adorable little felt sticker and had my idea. the green paper and rubon are both also Anna Griffin. then I added in a few buttons, some pearls from Micheals and some sewing and hemp.

today I wanna boast about A- she is so talented- I have little music ability and am so impressed with her. Last year, in the middle of the year, she joined band ( we moved here in late Nov.) and by February she received her flute, two months later, she was First Chair in Flute in the band. This year, she has continued on and is not only First Chair in Flute in the band, but is also First Chair in Band. which is kinda like the best player in the band. ( she's also in the chorus)Today is winter concert and she dressed for the occasion, isn't she a cutie!! this along with me having to get her an emergency weekend visit at AI Dupont hosp. this weekend for a bad sinus infection- thank goodness for antibiotics!
Also this weekend- Annalise got her first pair of glasses. My kids- both got cruddy eyesight from their parents! Annalise is so excited to really see well, and its been fun watching her see things far off clearly now. love this pair- they are just big enough that she can grow and they won't bend up on her face, but not too big either. I think she looks so grown up.
Have a wonderful Monday and hope you enjoy your week!

OMGosh - Tell Miss A congratulations for such an awesome talent and for sharing it with others. I'm sure she's an inspiration to many (makes them want to push harder, huh?)

They are growing up so fast and so beautifully. Love the photos.
