Christmas Parties at School

Cooper and Emily both had Christmas parties at school last week. Emily's school had a whole Christmas Recital with lots of singing! It was so cute! Richard could not be there so I was in charge of taking pictures and video taping. I hardly got any pictures but I did capture a lot of cute moments on video. Emily had a speaking part and at the end she and 3 other kids from her class stood in front of the microphones and sang Joy To The World. It was SO cute!!

Here she is before we went to school...(I probably should have washed all her tattoos off...oops)


She looked so cute! She really wanted to wear her antlers : )


There were several times during the show that she actually had her dress above her head....priceless!!!


This is one of her FAVORITE friends in class. He is a very sweet boy.


Lucy was less than thrilled to be there.



Cooper's class also had a big Christmas Party. It was so fun to see everyone celebrating Christmas! It wasn't until later in the day that I realized how special it is that we go to PUBLIC school and they made such a big deal about CHRISTmas!! I love our school here in Texas!


One of his new favorite friends.


Cooper and some girls in his class.


Cooper and his new friend Hope. We love Hope and her family. They moved here from Arkansas right around the same time we did. They lived in NLR and were even patients at Dr. Heard's office! I had never met them (in AR) but we have quickly become good friends here in Texas.


This is Ms. Shelly. She is the NICEST person ever!!! She works at Cooper's school. One day she saw Cooper having a bad morning where he really did not want to walk to his class by himself. Ms. Shelly offered to walk him down to his class and has been doing so every day since! She makes our life so much easier and we are so thankful to have her! (she even came to see him during his Christmas party!!)


I hardly ever get a picture with Cooper, so I was thrilled when one of the other mom's offered to take our picture.

Oh Emily, Hope would say your tattoos are "SO fashion!" Love the picture of Hope and Cooper. Hope's fake smile is kill.ing.me. All the time! So glad we are here together!
