Petunia's Christmas

We read the cutest story today about a goose named Petunia. She meets a handsome gander and falls in love. To save him from being sold for Christmas dinner, she makes wreaths to sell to buy his freedom. The girls really liked the story and we made wreaths like Petunia this afternoon after their naps. You may be wondering why in the pictures Anna and Lauren are dressed alike and as if it's June instead of December. Well, Anna has this thing about dresses. If I've dressed her in pants for school, she immediately changes into a dress as soon as she gets home. She prefers everything sleeveless and is relentless in attempting to convince me to let her wear sleeveless clothing year round. As for Lauren, she's following big sister's lead and if Anna wants to be a "twin" then that's okay with her. I love that the older they get, the more they want to play together. It just melts my heart.
