Top Five Favorite Memories With The Kids in 2009

5. Going to the Christmas Irish Dancing Show to see the girls perform.
They both did a wonderful job dancing on the big stage. Even Natalie who had never done it before.

4. Moments of Joy

Natalie as a Veggie Tale. It was so funny to see her hop around.

3. Making Crafts Together.

I made these masks for the kids to wear for Halloween, except Gillian made her own blue bird mask.

T-shirts we made for our sleepover. Any excuse to make something fun!!

2. 2nd Annual Sleepover at my house.
I love these kids!

1. Our Christmas Party and Gift-Exchange
This is the second year that kids and I have had a gift exchange. We can only give each other things we have handmade. I love watching them get excited about making something for each other. They are so proud of what they create and can't wait to give it to their sibling.

NatNat gave me a beautiful ornament.
Gillian was very creative and made David his own Christmas tree for his room out of popsicle sticks and tissue paper.
