Christmas 2011

Our Christmas tree & stockings.

Ornaments that Amir made & we gave them out for Christmas gifts. Five finger snowmen. Amir is really great about doing stuff like this. He has LOTS of patience. Especially when there is paint involved. I think we'll do something like this again next year.

On Christmas Eve we went to Rich's sisters house for dinner. Gifts were exchanged & they have a Christmas program. Amir played a little song on the piano. (one he wrote himself.) I wish I had gotten my camera out for that but I didn't want to miss it running to get it.

Christmas Day:

Opening his gifts. :) He got up at 3am yelling "MOM! Santa left presents under my tree!" Luckily, he was able to go back to sleep pretty quick after I told him it wasn't time to open presents yet.

 His stocking. It's almost as big as he is!

After Santa put out all the presents he realized that he didn't have anything for mom and dad. Not even stocking stuffers. HA! (The joys of being pregnant, forgetful & just plain tired!)

After we opened presents at our house we went to Gram's house. We ate dinner and opened presents. Amir got $10 (in $1's) from gram & a bunch of toys from Bebe & Nehneh.

We also got to talk to Sami Christmas morning. Which was nice. It was great to see his face again.

December Preschool

December - Christmas Time!

A milk and cookies paper magnet & a gingerbread man on a stick!

Christmas tree ornament (before I cut it out for him)

Santa Claus came to their school! It was a surprise. He was very happy and the whole way home said how much he loves Santa. He got the book, The Night Before Christmas from him. ;)

<-- Snow coat. That white stuff is really soft!

"Gingerbread" ornament. (its the cinnamon mixture that smells really good, not really gingerbread) Amir is so cute he picked out matching buttons and ribbon. 

Reindeer.  He came out of school with a red nose. He's so quick to take things off that I rarely get a picture!!

A gift for me. A little book he made.

Merry Christmas

Festival of Tree's

I decorated another tree this year for the Festival of Tree's. (see picture above) it was a 6.5ft white tree. I went really simple since when it was time to take it in I was 32 weeks pregnant. Next time I'm gonna just do a small tree again. They are WAY easier. :)

These are a couple others that were my favorite. Spongebob & Lego  are the ones that Amir really loved. He also saw a candy one that he liked a lot. They were both small tree's. 

This reminded me of the Grinch for some reason. This one was my all time favorite this year!

November Preschool

At school they talked about sleeping, dreaming and bedtime. All the kids got to take something special that they sleep with. Amir took his Bumble Bee pillow pet.

Shooting stars & 7's

His name decorated with stars & a glow in the dark moon. (there is a secret message on the moon, but I cant figure out what it is. haha)

Sheep mask, he was too grumpy to wear it for a picture.

A feather for "Ted  the Turkey".  

Menu Manners... I love the little face he drew on the Chef!

Turkey Card!

He did a really funny little dance for the camera. Unfortunately I only had my phone to take pictures with so its a little blurry!!
I was November's room mom so I got to help the kids with their turkey shirts and the turkey cards. They also made some really cute cookie turkeys that I didn't get a picture of. They were super cute!

Turkey Dance Video, LOVE it!

(Amir is the one closest to the camera, in case you cant tell. :) )

October Preschool

4's & D's.

They went on a field trip to the local fire station. 

He got a Fireman helmet, a badge & they made hoses to put fires out with! 

(that is what he's doing in the picture.)

"Orange Day"
Another color hand print on the bag and a fall leaf project. :)

Spiders & Bird feeders!
"F" Day












We hung up the bird feeder the moment we got home. He was very excited!

Bat puppet and Itsy Bitsy Spider story book.

Amir is Iron Man this year for Halloween. They dressed up for their party and got lots of goodies. :)
