Today was Lakehills Montessori’s Fall Festival party. It was even bigger and better than last year:

Gabriella’s party for her friends from school was at Purple Glaze. All the kids had a great time. The parents did too. It was pretty hands on.

Since it was fall break at school last week, Gabriella’s class celebrated her birthday today. Mama and daddy came to her classroom. Gabriella walked around a sun, while holding a globe four times as a symbol of each year of her life. As she walked her teacher told a story about each year (that mama and daddy had provided) and showed a picture from that year, as well. We also brought yummy iced cookies from Merritt’s for all the kids and her teachers.

Patiently waiting:

Mama took Gabriella to Cynthia Kishner’s birthday party today. It was at My Little Dollhouse. All the girls got to dress up and have their nails done and even put on a fashion show. Gabriella had a great time, once she got warmed up. Here are some pics that Mama took:

Merry Christmas From Olivia, Gabriella, Sasha and Michael.
