736. Sturdy warm schools that offer children a safe place to learn.  Tonight we went and said goodbye to Ava's old school - the new school is done and ready to be filled with sweet kiddos!   I know buildings are inanimate objects - but still sort of sad to say goodbye to a fixture that's been standing for years - where so many memories were made, so many children learned to read - and where Ava had her very first day of school.  But onto a new bright place and we are so thankful for that! 737.  The opportunity to paint on walls!  Who wouldn't love that!  Ava's class painted a mural of the sea!  Here she is showing off her fish:-)   738.  Our very own brick!  The girls got to decorate a brick in the cafeteria for our family:-)  739.  That we live in America where education is free and everyone is given an opportunity to learn and carve a path for themselves.

735.  First dental visit.  She was so proud.  And such a big girl - that I was proud too.  She did great - so excited for her visit that day.  And so proud to hop up in that big chair and to let the hygienist count her teeth.  Now we just need to get rid of that binky....!!!!

734.  Laughter to the point of tears.  That all I could do after I heard the crash.  Laugh hysterically.  And it felt good.  Christmas mishaps.

731. Christmas brunches with family, great friends and mimosas:-)  The girls had a blast - they got to run around with friends, making gingerbread houses and playing games.  I think they thought they owned the place.  Such a great morning with the best neighborhood friends!   732.  These kids. They love running around on this green - they do not love getting their picture taken! 733.  Pictures with Santa!
