Preschool Christmas Program

Last night Peyton and Charlie had their school Christmas Program.  It was too cute!  It was so fun watching them perform and we are so proud of how well they did!

A few pre-show pictures







I honestly didn't have high expectations for Charlie but he shocked me with how great he did!! He was so stinkin cute!
Peyton loves to sing with a lot of passion!  She was so excited to be on stage!

Peyton: 5 years

I can't believe we have a 5 year old!  It seems impossible.  5 seems like such a big milestone.  On the verge of being a big kid.  Starting Kindergarten in the fall.  Gaining independence.  While Peyton is excited for these things, I'm not sure I'm ready!

We had a lot of fun celebrating our 5 year old last week!

Birthday donuts and presents in the morning























A special treat and gifts at Lainie and Grandpa's


























A trip to the mall (her favorite place!) to see Santa, ride the carousel and have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.









At 5 Peyton:
  • Loves school.  She loves to learn and socialize with her friends.  Her teacher described her as a quiet leader.
  • Has her first crush.  We don't use that term with her but it's pretty obvious she is smitten with a little boy in her class.  She talks about him constantly and gets the biggest grin on her face!
  • Loves arts and crafts.  She enjoys drawing, coloring, painting and crafting.
  • Loves to sing.  She is always making up songs about her day. 
  • Is still a pretty picky eater
  • Is a great big sister. 
  • Enjoys riding her bike, swimming and dancing
  • Asks a lot of questions.  She is very thoughtful and inquisitive.  Last night out of nowhere she asked me where the holes for her earrings were.  She didn't know that they weren't something you are born with.
  • Can be very witty
  • Continues to amaze us with how bright, thoughtful, kind and wonderful she is.  She shines bright and I think the future holds big things for her!

"I Have Real Magic"

An original song by Peyton, who informed me today that she does in fact have real magical powers.
