So proud of our Lily bean! Last week or so she had mentioned that she wanted to try out for the 5th grade honors chorus! This is huge for her! She rarely does anything that stretches her outside her comfort zone when it comes to her talents, so her daddy and I were super proud to hear that she decided to try for it! However, yesterday she was having second thoughts because she was feeling "forced" to do it by us. Of course, we were not forcing her, but we were very excited when she mentioned she was going to try! Well, today she came home and announced that not only did she try out, but she also tried out solo as opposed to the comfort of a partner! We of course told her we were so proud of her regardless if she makes it or not (they only pick 2 students in 5th grade), but I won't lie if I secretly hope she makes it. She does have quite a nice voice and it would be so great if she would be rewarded for taking this step of faith! I guess we'll see!

2016 comes to a close
Another year has flown by. I know I say this all the time, but man time needs to slow down. We had a fun-filled Christmas and Hanukah time.
For Christmas Lily really wanted this fur real friend's horse. Of course, I told her no way.....figuring first it was expensive and 2nd I know she will outgrown it in no time flat. Of course, she said to me, "then I'll ask Santa!"
Well why I do believe she has her serious doubts about Santa and I think for the most part she knows it's us....we have had lots of jokes about when you stop believing you get socks and underwear.
Well even though Santa didn't deliver what she wanted, Jesus certainly did, it was really cool! One day I was on Facebook and I saw a friend of ours had listed on FREECYCLE a pony-sized fur real horse to give away for FREE!!!!! I messaged her immediately and amazingly we got it! For Christmas Lily was ecstatic! Now granted I have this huge monstrosity of a computerized horse in my house, but Lily loves it!
Lily even went to horseback riding camp one day this week! She loved it!
Lily has begun to act a little "preteen" lately, much to her daddy and my dislike. Moody, disrespectful, and acting entitled to everything! Hopefully, it will be short lived and we will see more of our sweet and kind Lily in 2017!
