Lindsey's Class Performs At Magnet Fair

This Saturday Lindsey's Kindergarten class performed at magnet fair at a local mall. Magnet fair is a place where parents can come to see if they want their child to go to a magnet school. They sang a song in front of a bunch of people. I was suprised that Lindsey actually did it! She is usually scared of performing in front of crowds.

Lindsey Crams One Month Of Reading Into One Night

Lindsey's teacher gives rewards (a pizza from Pizza Hut) to her students when they read 10 books in a month. Lindsey figured out that some of her classmates were reading all 10 books in one night so she wanted to do the same. We did NOT pressure her to do it. We actually had to tell her to stop reading that night so she could go to bed. So, first thing the next morning, instead of turning on Spongebob Squarepants like she usually does, she broke out her books on the couch and finished reading all 10!

Lindsey's Friends Come To Play

The week of Christmas some of our friends from college who were in town for the holidays came over to visit and brought their kids over to play with Lindsey. Makenzie is 2 and Andrew is 4. Notice Andrew is almost as tall as Lindsey, who is 6. But Andrew's dad is well over 6 feet tall! Despite the age rage of the three, they got along well!

Christmas 2006

Christmas morning Lindsey didn't get up too early.... we got to sleep until 7:45am! When she got up she was greeted by a 4 foot inflatable santa and a bunch of gifts. Her big gift from Santa was a HUGE Barbie doll house complete with an elevator. She also got a robopet, more moon sand, and a Little Mermaid carriage. After we opened gifts we spent the rest of the morning and afternoon putting gifts together and playing with them.

Christmas Eve 2006

On Christmas eve we went to my brother's house to celebrate the holiday with my mother's family. Lindsey got one of the gifts she had been wanting for months... Moon Sand! After my brother's house, we went to MeMe and Granddad's house for a HUGE dinner and to open presents with my parents. Lindsey got a TON of toys including a racecar track, a dinosaur mountain, and and easy bake oven. (as you can tell she is very well rounded with boys and girl's toys!) We're going to have to move to another house because of all the stuff she got. She won't be bored for months!

Channel 4 Christmas Show

This year channel 4 decided to revive an old tradition at the station. It's a show where the children of employees get to come sit on santa's lap and get a gift and it's made into a show that we air on Christmas. Our weekend meteorologist, Jason, acted as the host. I was afraid that Lindsey wasn't going to sit in santa's lap because she never has before. But for the first time in her life, she did! The stuffed animal you see in the picture is a dog that she recently got at Build-a-Bear workshop that she INSISTED on taking with her to sit on Santa's lap. She actually asked if she could go say goodbye to him when it was all over, so we did. Then, when Laurie was leaving, Lindsey kept looking on the roof of our station and asking "are his reindeer up there?" For those who live in the area, you can watch the show at noon on Christmas day.
