Hubby had the privilege of taking these two cuties to the grand opening of our new mall in town. They had a blast while my oldest two opted to stay home and have a neighbor friend over for an impromptu play date. Fun was had by all but D was pretty jealous his little sisters did have so much fun. I reminded him he had fun to so all was well in the world again.
Twice a month K attends Activity Days at church now that she had her last birthday. She loves it but one day I forgot she was supposed to go and the poor dear didn't get to eat her supper before she went. So, every time she has activity days my mom or both my parents come over to help with homework while I make dinner earlier than normal. That way K is well fed before leaving at 6pm (the usual time we begin eating) and her homework is complete before coming home so close to bed time. I'm so glad my parents moved to our city to be around us. They just make life better.
My mom came over and watched the Christmas Devotional with us. I love the way it puts you in a great mood and the right frame of reference for this wonderful time of year.
My favorite picture from the Star Wars app. I just had to document that selfie fun we all participated in.
The guinea pigs and the rabbit and Meigo are all alive and well. The children enjoyed picking out Christmas presents for them at PetSmart. M & N were awesome when we went to the DIY dog wash and ran errands. Miss N is quite the stubborn little one (I mean that in the best way possible) so I don't care about things like what she wears in public too much. This day she chose to her penguin pajamas and really wanted her red dress-up Minnie Mouse shoes but could only find one of them. You wouldn't believe all the positive attention she got at Hobby Lobby & Play it Again Sports and the groomers! I guess middle aged women really go for the nostalgia of days gone by when their children were picking out their own crazy outfits too. Glad my family could be of service. lol.
Meigo saying, "Why are you happy about what you just did to me?"
Our ward Christmas party was so nice. The Night Before Christmas theme was so well done and my kids loved wearing their Christmas jammies to it. Our former neighbor, Darrell, came with us and it was so fun to be around our good friend again. Here's a picture of the children singing the two songs they learned this year: Christmas Bells and When Joseph went to Bethlehem. M was so excited and nervous she confessed to me that as she fell asleep at night she went over the songs in her head so she would be ready to perform. She did great, that's for sure!
I also wanted to mention D earned a perfect attendance for his first trimester of 1st grade from his school. That's a new one for our family. Definitely has never happened before. I guess he has a knack for getting sick only on weekends! I'm not including his certificate on here due to all the personal information on it, but I sure am proud of my favorite son!
