Randomness from December

First: Nicole's class holiday party at school. They decorated cookies and made little penguins (shown below). It was my job to help at the craft table. Here are just 2 photos from the party...

Second: Nicole got one new Build-a-Bear friend. "Grace" the reindeer. Here she is photographed with some other Build-a-Bear toys that she has already been collecting.

She also set up a little play area in the living room...

 Nicole and "Grace"

 Nicole and an older bear friend, BUT with a new Christmas outfit :) ...

Third: Her pet Hermit crabs. She has 4 of them! Pcitured below are two "Squirt" and "Ziggy"

Squirt...

Their 10-gallon tank...

Ziggy is in the colorful pink shell and they are both going into their basket cave to hide out...

A very good CLOSE-UP of Squirt. SInce I KNOW you wanted to see what they look like, hehe...

Fourth: Nicole got to visit Santa. She made a special head band with a Christmas wrapping bow tapped up. She then attached several colorful bells with some strong scrapbooking adhesive! A very clever and super creative girl! Here she is with her pretty bow-headband...

Here is Nicole with Santa! ...

Fifth: Dad and Sidney were stopping by in our area so we got to visit!! We ate breakfast together and then went to the mall for a while. While at the mall we ran into Santa again and had a group photo taken with just us girls. Dad and Mark aren't that much fun, lol :P and didn't seem to want to take part in the photo!

Nicole, me, Santa, and Sidney...
