Happy New Year (sign: CELEBRATE & ENJOY - seemed appropriate for the occasion)

I wish you and your family a Happy New Year! Go and CELEBRATE! 

ENJOY your night and your time with your family. 

 

WINTER'S Definitely Here and We're Going to Get SNOW!

I'm so excited, during our winter break we got SNOW flakes for Christmas Eve and we're supposed to get real snow tomorrow morning! Happy WINTER to everyone!

Sign for SNOW: 

There are two different signs for SNOW - this one above is representing slowly moving fingers (gentle wiggle if you may) representing the snow slowing falling. 

The other SNOW sign is a combo sign ... WHITE + RAIN

Sign: WINTER is the same as COLD (just obviously your mouth is saying 'WINTER' versus COLD! ;)

Merry Christmas Sign Language style

I hope everyone had a wonderfully blessed CHRISTMAS.

Ms. Little Fingers had her fingers into some great gifts bright and early (6:30am!) with ALL the family to watch (including distant family via Skype!). She was old enough to understand and enjoy opening gifts this year and we really got a kick out of watching her throughout the day during the three gift opening opportunities she got.

She enjoyed the lights on the CHRISTMAS TREE ...

(Sign: CHRISTMAS TREE) 

She enjoyed singing JINGLE BELLS...

(sign: JINGLE BELLS - or BELLS)


She even enjoyed the CANDY CANES on the CHRISTMAS TREE too! (which is why we employed the sign: NO TOUCH! click here for NO TOUCH sign!)

(Sign: CANDY CANE)

Overall, it was a great CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

from HearMyHands Family to Yours!
