My Little Elves

I got my picture of my kids in their Christmas Pj's in front of our tree. I know that the next couple days are going to be wild. I have to just remember one day at a time. Kylie and I has made hand print ornaments, baked and decorated sugar cookies, another ornament project, and wrapped some more presents. It was a great weekend. I love these two.

Christmas Program

Kylie had her preschool program last Thursday morning. She was ready to sing her two songs, but I guess she got a little excited by the crowd. All she could do was spin and squeal. It was funny to see her just stand up there and be so happy and excited. Santa came to say "hi" to the kids and ask them what they wanted for Christmas. Kylie told Santa that she wanted a Barbie. I will someday get the video uploaded, but for now these are the pictures to share.

Sick Boy

Grady has been battling a flu bug for the last week and two new teeth on top of it. He has not been feeling well, but has have turned the corner. He started to feel better today He has a big smile about eating Cheerios and water for dinner yesterday. We love our boy!

Preschool Pajama Day

I got to help at Kylie's preschool this last Tuesday morning. It was pajama day and what a fun day we had. Kylie helped me make the snack the night before. We made Santa grahams. She was lots of helped and they turned out great. Kylie also made reindeer food for all the kids at preschool to take home. It was a very busy morning. I was able to help the kids make their Christmas presents. They has such a great time decorating their presents. They all wanted to add a lot of detail. They all enjoyed the Santa snack and cocoa while they listened to the "Polar Express." I loved it. I was able to meet each kid in her class and spend the morning with my girl. Thanks Ms. Katie for all your hard work. She has learned so much this year and all you extras are so special.

Give Grady a box, wrapping paper, a bow, or ribbon and this boy is happy. He doesn't need presents.

We celebrated Christmas early this year with Ryan's family. It was last Saturday evening. We has a wonderful dinner. The kids enjoyed the time together. It was a wonderful night. We are so blessed to be able to have such a wonderful Christmas with such a wonderful family.

Holiday Activites

Kylie made a gingerbread house with my dad. She was so proud of it. She had to come home and tell me to get my camera to take a picture. We have so much planned for this month, it will be so much fun. Kylie went to the Christmas Lights Parade last night in Sunnyside with my aunt and uncle and her cousin Danielle. She was so excited to tell me all about Santa and The Grinch. We are definitely in the Christmas spirit. We are working on getting some lights up today and then our Christmas Tree is our activity for tomorrow night. Happy Holidays!

This month has flown by for us. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Ellensburg with lots of my family. Kylie enjoyed all of the Chicken (Turkey) crafts that we completed through out the month. We got to enjoy a second Thanksgiving on Friday night with Ryan's family. I did do Black Friday shopping on Friday. It was fabulous and a lot of presents bought and wrapped. I am feeling more and more ready for the next holiday. Happy Chicken Day!
