We had a blast on Noelle’s first grade field trip to Casa Manana to see the play, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.  I have to be honest, I get a day away to share with my big girl, and what do I do during the play… fall asleep!  Ha!  It was just too dark and cozy (I brought a blanket for N and me to share).  I guess that’s part of the memory!  

We went to eat Mexican food afterward with Emerson, Georgia and their moms.  The girls had so much fun giggling and being together and gave us moms a chance to visit… it was such a fun day! 

*This was the day of the school shooting in Connecticut, and I didn’t realize what had really happened until we got home.  It was such a relief to have Noelle with me that day, and my heart breaks for the parents whose lives will never be the same because of their indescribable loss.  Our prayers are with them, and we are so sad!
