Merry Christmas!

The best gift for a mom...pride in her children. For those of you who don't know...last year Henri was in a terrible situation at school. Lots of teacher transition, tough mix of kids...it was a nightmare. Going into pre-K, Henri was the only student in his class who could not write his name. And by write his name...I mean not write a single letter. :(

This year, his teacher, Mrs. Gorman, has worked wonders with him. Look at his Christmas card. I was so proud...I teared up. A merry Christmas indeed!








And sweet Lili's card....very sweet. :)






Merry Christmas!
