Beginning to Say Goodbye....

Well, things are beginning to come to a close here in Valdosta. We move the day after Christmas but will be gone beginning next week with our new house stuff and visiting Craig's parents for Christmas. So, today was our last day of Kindermusik in Valdosta! Gracie has absolutely loved Kindermusik this year and has learned so much from it! It is amazing to watch her pick up on new things and sing songs and dance at home. Today we were suppose to go to Kindermusik and then to a little Christmas celebration at our friend Sydney's house. We made it through Kindermusik but I just knew Gracie wasn't quite right. She wasn't her happy go lucky self. We get to Sydney's house and she is burning up. My sweet girl had a temp. of 103. Needless to say I freaked because Gracie has never had a temp. other than a small one after shots. We stayed a few minutes because Mrs. Julie (Sydney's mom) had prepared a wonderful lunch for the kiddos which included Christmas shaped sandwhich's for the kiddos and a fabulous chicken bean soup for the mommy's on top of dessert galore!! She did get to exchange gifts with her friends and then it was off to bed. Her fever lowered some this afternoon and then spiked back up tonight to 104. It is back down now and we think it is just viral because she has no other symptoms. She is doing much better. We had a fun morning despite the little set back. Here are a few pictures from Kindermusik. I didn't get any at her friend Sydney's house because she wasn't feeling good. Gracie and Luke waiting patiently for some instruments from their teacher, Mrs. Karen!Playing with small beach balls!Sharing a ball with her friend Sydney!! Aren't they adorable in their matching outfits! (Yes we planned that. They had matching Turkey and Christmas outfits!! So cute!!)Waiting with some of her classmates for her purple dog stamps that her teacher gives out at the end of every class!! Gracie looks forward to that every time!!

Trying to get a picture with her teacher, but that wasn't working out to well!:)

Again trying for a group shot with her friends and teacher: Gracie, Sydney, Mrs. Karen and Luke!

Here are some pictures at Julie's house that she just sent me from her camera!! We also celebrated Carolyn's birthday (which is today- Happy Birthday Carolyn!!) with a yummy chocolate cake!!

This is right before we found out Gracie had her 103 temp! Not so good that all the kids had been playing with each other. Doesn't she look pitiful!:(

Carolyn and her Birthday cake!!

One pose before we left to go home!!
