Christmas Extravaganza.....first grade style!

This year Mr. Murray held a Christmas Extravaganza at school---so we could dress in our wildest Christmas attire. Well...our first grade team decided we would make shirts for each other!!! We each drew a name and had to decorate a shirt for that person. It was a little stressful at first, but once we all got started it really turned out to be a LOT of fun. My mom helped me with Cindy's. Thank you so much!!!! Cindy LOVES Beyonce, so I did her shirt with a Beyonce gingerbread girl.....and a very sad gingerbread boy. Lesson learned for him---he "should've put a ring on it!!!!" Everyone's shirts turned out GREAT. What a creative and fun group of girls I work with. I just adore each and every one of them.

Last year we had an Easter Bonnet day. If we have one this year, I think we should decorate each other's bonnets!!!!!

Looking Back....Happy Birthday Emily!

First of all, thanks to Leslie over at Lambert's Lately my blog has a new look. I LOVE it! If you want a new blog design go see Leslie. She is GREAT to work with, and she's a first grade teacher!!!

Now....I am WAY behind on blogging, so I am going to attempt to get caught up (at least with the "major" things that have occurred.) Well, Miss Emily turned 3 years old on August 29th. For her birthday we went to The Rainforest Cafe in Katy. Emily LOVES this restaurant. Mom, Dad, Aunt Bill and Uncle Bryan met us there. We had so much fun celebrating with Emily. Afterwards Bill and Bryan invited us over to their house for presents and cake. Thanks so much!

The Birthday Girl!!
