Happy Birthday Jade

Thanksgiving is over and it is now time to start decorating for Christmas. The kids are very excited to be getting ready to start some of our family traditions. The first one which will start tomorrow is pulling all the decorations out of the garage and starting to decorate. The biggest favorite at the first of December is watching the Polar Express while setting the tree up. When we watch the Polar Express we always eat hot biscuits and have hot chocolate for dinner. This will be perfect with after 3 days of snow.

Tomorrow is also Jade’s 10th birthday. What a special day for her as she too has come a long way. I find it hard to believe that 7 years ago she was diagnosed with autism and we were told her outlook in the social and functioning end was a dreary one. However, here we are 7 years later and she is now in the 3rd grade in a fully regular education class and no IEP supports.

We are so proud of how far she has come and how well she is doing in everything.

Happy Birthday Jade!
