Chipper, the silly Elf

I still can't upload any pictures, but I have emailed blogger and they are trying to figure out the problem.  But I don't want to get to far behind on things so I will have to do things the old fashioned way and just write or type about it. 

Chipper, our elf has been into everything.  The girls are loving this.  I am so glad that Mark and I get to start some traditions that hopefully our kids will do with their kids one day... a long time from now.  Hayden and Gracie call his name when they get up, as if he is going to answer.  I just smile and wait on them to find him.  After the fishing in the potty, Chipper decided to take Barbie for a ride in her corvette.  Gracie really liked that one.  She found him first.  Then Chipper decided he needed some waffles but instead of fixing the waffle...he got a straw and drank the syrup.  Then last night was by far the silliest and funniest one for the girls.  Chipper threw two pair of panties on our Christmas Tree.  They couldn't find him this morning.. I finally had to help them out.  The first thing they did was scream EEW, Yuck he has our panties on the tree.   Then all the laughing started! 

Tomorrow, Hayden is going to receive her Christmas Tree from her Seniors.  She is so excited that she gets to wear regular clothes instead of her uniforms.  It is so funny the things that make kids get excited.  We have saw her tree and it is adorable.  Mimi and I, may even have showed it to her already, and the look on her face was priceless.  She couldn't believe it was hers.  I can't wait for her to see all the very special ornaments on it.  I can't wait to see her at the program tomorrow, as I have said before it is a huge deal to be a first grader at GWA.  I think I may be more excited than she is.  This is an awesome program! 

Hayden also scored 105 on her Benchmark reading test.  She reads 54 words a minute, which I would say is pretty good.  As always our shining star is aiming as high as possible and shining bright.  I was a little worried because her teacher thought she was reading on a 2nd grade level but she is right where she is supposed to be.   All we do is read, read, read!
