In early December the kids had their Christmas program for school. I'm not sure I ever talked about that this year both kids are going to Ms. Dora's Wooden Shoe Christian Preschool. It is an in-home preschool and daycare combined. This is a major plus for us because this means Matt doesn't have to transport anyone between preschool and daycare multiple times a day like the past two years. We knew since both kids would be in preschool (probably on different days and times) that would be a lot of driving around during the work day for Matt. Last year my co-workers recommended Ms. Dora's and it has been a perfect fit for us this year. Ms. Dora has been doing this for 39 years in her home and she has it down to an art. She takes 10 kids from ages 3-5 only. The kids love it and have learned so much! Not just academically but also social and behavioral skills.
We were SO impressed with Ms. Dora's Christmas program. It was held at a middle school auditorium near her home, and was about 45 minutes long including singing, sign language, and acting. The kids did an amazing job.
Ready for the program!
You're a grand old flag...

The kids and Ms. Dora. She runs a tight ship! I find myself being a little scared of Ms. Dora at times! EVERYONE obeys what Ms. Dora says.
This was the 5th year in a row for the Heine's and Keeley's to go to Crown Center and Union Station together. It's become something we treasure getting to do together!

One of the unexpectedly fun moments of the night was coloring together at the crayola store right before we called it a night. We sat there for a good 30 minutes just coloring.
Another highly anticipated event, cookie decorating with some of our MTMS friends and their kids. Jamie was an excellent hostess as it was pretty much craziness with the amount of kids and sticky fingers around there.
Reese took her decorating very seriously. And "less is more" is nowhere in her repertoire.
The gang! Always fun to catch up with them and get the kids together!
Christmas program, check. Meet Santa, check. Decorate cookies, check. Now to wrap all those presents...
Have a wonderful holiday spending time with family and friends! We are so thankful to be able to have some time off to spend together and celebrate the HOPE we have in Christ our Savior.
