Welcome back, Nativity Set! Jingle helped get Madison's set out - in fact, it was a surprise for her under the big tree this morning after she awoke. Immediately, she was playing with the animals and figures. She lined up all the animals single file so that they could one at a time eat some fruit from a fruit basket. They stayed that way all day, as soon after Madison had to go to school with Daddy. Time together in the car is always so short. Part of that reason is that we live so close to school!
This afternoon after school, Madison had her piano practice - Daddy was with her for that one. We're doing more complicated tunes now, but we also through in some Christmas fun today as well. This was our last piano class of the year, and Madison got a special gift from Mrs. Pam, which was extremely nice, and unexpected! But the gifts didn't stop there: Madison also got a gift from her ballet teacher in our last ballet class of the year:
Here the girls are, all lined up at ballet practice. Actually, there's one more class on Monday - I just forgot. This was added to make up for an earlier sick day from the teacher. Still, everything was nice at class, and Madison really enjoyed her gifts: the stockings you see above, an ornament, and even a ballerina figurine. She had a pretty neat day!
Afterwards, it was time for a Mexican feast - Mommy had cooked us tacos, and after that, Madison was due for a bath. We didn't have that much time for a television, but we did watch a Christmas-themed Jo Jo's Circus, per Madison's request.
Tonight before bed, Daddy continued with his "Twelve Days of Reading" bit. We have several Christmas books in the house for Madison, and just before bed, it's been fun reading them. Afterwards, it was time to get down under the covers. The weather turned way cold today, which is actually normal for this time of year. The problem is that we've been so used to above average temperatures, and the change in temperature was pretty dramatic. Baby, it's cold outside!
