So much Christmas fun around here! We've got plans this weekend to see some lights and a Living Nativity, open presents, make a birthday cake for Jesus, drink hot chocolate, play games, write letters to Santa, maybe go to McCords for candy cane making and just spend some quality time together as a family! We can't wait!! The kids are also counting down the days for our trip to Kansas City....and to be honest, John & I are too! It's been way too long and we're ready to see our people!
Johnny got a hold of my phone again...
You know, just watching tv

Women's Christmas Event @ Church with some great friends.
Our Church set up this super cute photo booth in the lobby. Mellany with her friend Nolla and Nolla's sister Mabelle.
While I was addressing Christmas cards, Mellany wanted to be part of the process. So she decided to add some art work to a few.
Silly sock day at Johnny's school. He really wasn't digging the "silly sock day" but I made such a big deal about it that he finally warmed up to the idea. But the only way that I could get him to wear mismatched socks was to wear mismatched socks myself.
Charlie's Christmas Program. Mellany loved watching, Johnny loved playing legos with Lincoln and Charlie enjoyed sitting on my lap.....He wanted no part in the performance with his class. As soon as they brought him out and tried to sit him on the stage he started screaming and clung to his teacher. They said I could stand on stage with him but I politely declined :)
This past week the boys and I ventured to Mellanys school to have lunch with her. We brought McDonalds for us and Charlotte too. It was the absolute best school lunch I have ever been to! After most of the kids were done eating, they had "Tomahawk Talent". The lunch room aide picks one student from each table to perform a talent. Mellany got picked (yay!!) and performed her cheer from her cheerleading clinic. After the talent, they had a dance party!! It was seriously the best time! The boys now ask on a daily basis to go back.
Johnny found Mellany's name on the wall for reading and math!
The boys also found the reindeer under the Christmas tree. I couldn't hardly get them to leave!
Johnny got my phone again while waiting for the bus....apparently it took a little bit to get Mellany off the bus this day.... :)
Ballet Winter Showcase! The girls both did a beautiful job and we couldn't have been more proud! The boys played with tractors, phones, combines and Simon even taught Charlie how to make a few funny faces.
After ballet this past week we found 8 deer in the field across from our house.
Homework after ballet/before small group at Church.
Donuts at the dealership while getting our oil changed. This is one of the boys favorite things!
The combine finally came to harvest the beans across from our house. It was like the Super Bowl to the boys! Johnny even pulled out his combine and semi truck to be just like the farmer.
