First Day of School

Image
Tay had his first day of kindergarten this week.  He had chocolate chip waffles with homemade syrup, bananas, and orange juice for breakfast: He got a little nervous walking in: Luckily he knew a couple kids in his class already, like Janessa: I had to try really hard not to let any tears show up in my eyes while I followed him into the classroom and said goodbye! The girls missed him at home all day long! When I picked him up, he'd actually had quite a rough first day, including scraped up and bleeding leg & elbow from a fall on gravel, being hungry because he didn't finish his lunch before the bell - he eats slowly, and from being too scared to ask to use the bathroom all day: It broke my heart to see him so upset!

Christmas @ Grandpa & Mimi's House: Christmas Eve @ The Dayton's Christmas @ My Mom's House: 'Mary' & 'Joseph' while acting out The Nativity Late-Night Christmas Eve Dinner: Christmas Morning: Grandma & Tay waiting for everyone else to wake up: We left around 11am for Montana: Grandma gave us the perfect gift for driving between UT & MT: Our car was PACKED! I didn't even have any foot room: This is how much was in our little Honda Accord, I have no idea how David packed it all in there:  David's big surprise for the kids when we arrived - new comforters!
