Today was a VERY special day because the girls got to live the dream of one of their very favorite Christmas movies: The Polar Express! They each got a special "real" polar express ticket, just like in the book and the movie, and we boarded the train in our pajamas! It wasn't long before we were singing Christmas carols, sipping hot chocolate, and visiting with the special hobo "angel" and Santa Claus himself!
Earlier in the year, Leia Rose studied Native Americans in school with an emphasis on the Cherokee Indian. Today we traveled to the Cherokee Indian museum and learned all about this beautiful tribe. Ironically, Annie's teacher, Shana, is a member of the Cherokee Nation ... AND we happened to SEE HER THERE! What a small world.
Today was a special day at Immaculata, Mrs. Garcia walked the entire third grade class to the local Italian restaurant to make their own pizzas! This is all in celebration of learning all about immigration and Ellis Island.
My sweet babies have grown into beautiful women! This is their story (& mine as well). My blog exists in honor of the late Karin Faulkner who taught me how. Enjoy the journey through Leia's & Annie's youth.
