The Channaj girls had a very nice Christmas.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday also!!

Leila and Saadia got to open some of their presents

before we went to Grandma's and Granpa's house.

Leila loves her new carriage from Grandma and Grandpa for her American Girl twins

Christmas Eve 2008

Saadia and Leila were very busy this past week with back to back Christmas shows.

Saadia was Santa's helper and got to pull him in his sleigh into the show.

Leila sang "I saw three ships". They both did a great job!!

Kindergarten is getting ready to perform.

"Broadway Here We Come!"

"Leila's First School Bus Ride"

Leila's school went on a trip to see the movie Madagascar.

Here she is sitting with her friend Virginia.

Look how happy Leila's teacher is to be on a bus full of Kindergarten students.

(definitely could be commercial for Motrin)

Leila made a picture to hang up in the "Children's Holiday Picture Gallery" in the lobby where Aunt Jessie works.

The girls had a nice Thanksgiving with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jessie, and Aunt Alicia.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving also!!

Leila helped in the kitchen with her turkey apron that she made in Girl Scouts.
