Officially a Daisy!

Last Friday afternoon Allison officially became a Daisy. Her troop had their Investiture. It was adorable, but unfortunately I had forgotten my pocketbook at home and didn't have my camera. Karen took some photos with her camera, and she says she will send them to me. If I ever get them I will post :) They practiced walking in and saying the girl scout law... and singing a few new songs. The ceremony ended with all the girls getting their pin and a certificate. She was really happy. Also that night Allison attended "Daisy Dazzlers" it was a Daisy only event at one of the other elementary school in the district. A junior troop sponsored it, and only Daisies were allowed to attend. Most of her troop showed up, so she was pretty happy.
On Saturday morning the girls were excited because they got to spend some time with their Aunt Michy. Michelle bought them tickets to see Barnaby saves Christmas at Theater Three in Port Jefferson. After that she treated them to lunch at Friendlys. Rich and I took that opportunity to go and get our shopping done for Christmas dinner. Sunday brought us an unexpected surprise!!!! Grandma and Grandpa from PA attended a wedding in Manhattan on Saturday night and spent the night in a hotel in NJ. Well, I guess the storm that came through over the weekend really was bad in Montrose, PA. They decided that instead of traveling home through the storm... they came out to us for the day and stayed over until this morning. The girls were so excited to see them. Last night they went with Grandma and Grandpa to Aunt Michy and Uncle Steve's to celebrate Hanukkah. I took that time to start my gift wrapping. Rich has been working a ton of overtime... he is doing work for the Bright Nites at the Holtsville Ecology Center. The girls are really missing him, so they were pretty happy tonight to see Mommy go to work and Daddy stay home....lol.
