Gabby and Dante's last day at Little Gym

January has been busy but also a very routine month...meaning we didn't do anything really out of the ordinary except the everyday things. Preschool, playdates, shopping, chilling with friends....etc. Last week was Gabriella's last day in dance and Dante's last day in his parent/tot class. Gabby had her dance recital and she did SO good!! All the kids were adorable!! Dante's class was awesome too! He did a great job!!!

Hopefully we will have more exciting things to report in February. Birthday season is right around the corner....:)

Gabby's Collage

Here are some pics of the collage Gabby and I made for her speical day today. She got to talk about the pics to her freinds. She loved sharing her stories!!




Gabby's Special Day!!!!

Today was Gabby's special day at school and it was ALL about her the whole day!! She woke up SO excited to go to school!! I got to see her all morning too (I was working of course!) and nothing made me happier than to see her so happy and having so much fun. When she got to school she got to wear a special crown and sit with her teacher in front of the class, then she got to show her sharing first, she got to spray the tables and dress the bears (these are things only working parents kids get to do) and she got to do various other things that was only for her. We brought in snack for the class (chocolate chocolate chip muffins and goldfish) and let me tell you...it was a HIT!! The best was watching her talk to her class about her collage of pictures about her family, friends and fun things she has done. (We had to make it and bring it in.) Then when school was over Bob made her a special lunch and for dinner she got to pick anything she wanted to eat. She wanted McDonald's and for the first time in her life (and Dante's too) they got to have McDonald's for dinner!! A very BIG treat for them!!!

Gabby had a great day!!!!

Dante's new "big boy" seat!!

We have graduated Dante to his "big boy chair" at the table the other day. I'm so sad. No more highchairs....:( Anyways, he loves it and it's so cool that we all sit at the table together now as a family. He is growing up too fast!!!

Look at my big boy!!!

Love that smile.....
