So I am very new to this Purim thing. I will be honest, I had no clue what it was, but my little educational sponge Hannah informed me quickly. It is so great to see her learning not just about letters, numbers, and such, but about her culture. Friday her preschool at a big Purim party. All the kids dressed up. Hannah was a ballerina.....Martin made yummy hamantaschen.. YUMMY YUMMY, as usual.... and Rabbi Andy sang songs with the kids and we all danced around. it was so fun. Afterwards, the kids got to play some games and win some prizes. I think Hannah's favorite part was shaking the grogger...

i LOVE this picture!

Wow i just noticed that it has been since Christmas that I last blogged. I can not believe it is already February... where does the time go? 2010 has so far been a fantastic year! I know it is just going to continue to be a fantastic year too! School is back in session for me, so our schedules are crazy once again, but thats life... we wouldn't know any different. Hannah is still loving preschool and is really enjoying her time at TEPS. She can spell and write her name, and the other day she surprised Martin and me by spelling "Mom" and "Dad".. .we were very thrilled and are so very proud of her.

I have officially finished my application packet for the nursing program at GTCC. The deadline is February 9th, which is less than a week away. Now all I have to do is wait for my "acceptance," "alternate," or "denial" letter.. lets hope for an acceptance letter!

Anyways, here are some photos that we have taken in the last 2 months!

Christmas came early for all of us who wanted a white Christmas! Snow began to fall early Friday afternoon and did not let up into late into the night and into Saturday morning. By the time we woke up, we had about 6 inches of snow to play in! We got Hannah all bundled up in her makeshift snow suit(do the stores in the south even carry snowsuits?) and we went out to have fun in the snow! She had a blast making and throwing snowballs at Daddy mostly, but also chasing Jasmine around in the snow..... what a fun start to our Christmas holiday!

Parent's Day at Gymnastics!

Tumblebees held parents week at gymnastics and dance this week. Here are some photos from that day!

Christmas is Coming, the Goose is getting fat.............

The Holiday season has arrived! We are so excited about Christmas and Hannukkah this year! We have so much to be thankful for and can not wait for all the fun and festivities that this time of year brings. Hope you all enjoy our photos. Hannah visited Santa and told him what she wants for Christmas....we put up our tree and had a blast decorating it as a family, and this weekend we will be celebrating the start of Hannukkah! Potato Latkes here we come :)
