Emily's 1st Soccer Practice

After seeing a demo at School, Emily decided she would like to give soccer a try. On a cool, Thursday afternoon in February, Emily had her first Soccer Shots class at Palmetto Prep. When the twins and I arrived, they seemed to be having a lot of fun.




Ansley and Bailey were closly watching the 1st big practice.

Emily's Valentines Party at Palmetto Prep

When I arrived at the School, a couple of the parents and I started setting up the party. Once the kids were back in the room, they enjoyed all of their goodies and decorating their Jello Jigglers. After the snacks were finished, we proceeded with the kraft project of making Necklaces.

Emily's 1st Bank Account

On Friday afternoon, January 22nd, I took Emily to Greenville First to open her first bank account. The excitement had been building for her and she was pleasantly surprised by the big fan fair the Bank made for her. When we arrived, everyone knew who she was and being Emily, she asked "how do you know my name"? In a very cute, and shocked way =) She had been saving her coins and bills for a while, so Mr. Eddie and Mrs. Allison helped her roll all of her change. (I had discussed us bringing it that way, but Emily really wanted to bring her bank as it was.) Once they had rolled all her change ($67), I had prommised her that I would match everything she had in her bank so I wrote her a check to go with her coins and bills. Afterwards she proceeded to Mrs. Liz's office where she signed all of her important papers. Mrs. Allison then proceeded to take Emily to the Pineapple Stool where she could give her money to the teller. After getting her official receipt and sticker, she then proceeded with Mrs. Allison to the "Treasure Box" where she where she was able to use the key to open it and pick out her prize.

It was a great experience that left Emily wanting to go back to the Bank all the time =)
