Madison Starts Preschool

My first baby started preschool! Madison has been BEGGING to start school! Since Steven and I are both teachers she is always around "school." I have taken her into my class a few times this year for different events and she LOVED it! In fact, she asks me about every week or so if she can go to school with me!

So, since she turned 3 in December I figured it was time to start the preschool search. I never would have thought choosing a preschool would be so difficult but it was. It's hard to pick people who you trust with your kids. We were recommended to check our The Learning Tree Preschool in Chino Hills. A friend of mine from high school's son goes there and she raved about it. We checked it out on a Tuesday and loved it, so she started that Thursday!

Madison has two awesome, loving and kind teachers...Mrs. Tami and Mrs. Heather. And she looks forward to going every Tuesday and Thursday. She has met new friends and is learning new things every day. She was such a big girl on the first day of school.  I walked her in and she didn't even think twice, she went right to her center with Mrs. Tami. Mommy, on the other hand, cried the entire way to work! I can't believe my baby is old enough to be in preschool.

Here are some pictures of Miss Maddie on her first day...






















Pajama Jam New Years Eve Party!

This year Steven and I threw our 2nd Annual New Years Eve Party! Since I love themed parties, I decided to make it pajama themed! We invited our closest family and friends and had a great time! Here are some pictures of our night! Madison even made it until about 10:30 and had a blast!
