My 2 Kids For Him
It's been well over a month since my last entry so I'm gonna play catch-up and mostly blog about the month of December. It was a very busy month as usual. Dd was in our county theater's Christmas play. I will share a picture of her least favorite part, but she actually looked the happiest in this scene because she found it so funny. I know you actually can't see her, but she would almost get tickled every time they did this part. (This was one of the rehearsals.) She was one of Santa's reindeer and they had to go across the stage wearing the reindeer ears and singing a song. Anyway, this play consumed a big chunk of our time with all the practices and 4 performances. That same week of dress rehearsals the homeschool choir had their Christmas performance.  The following week dd played the paino for the nursing home. This is what their teacher wanted them to do instead of a recital this year. I felt like this was a good thing for the students.  That same week we had our Christmas program at church. Ds chose to pull the curtains so as not to have to take a part in the program:)  That was the only picture I could get of him, because as usual he refused to smile for the camera. Dd sang a song with the little kids. And she was also one of the carolers in the program.That was also the same week of our Christmas dinner at dh's moms. Here is our yearly picture of the grandkids.  Grand total of 17 kids ranging from 22 months to 18 years old and as you can see, the girls are outnumbered:). On Christmas day we had our dinner with dh's dad and step mom. Here is a picture of the grandkids with their grandparents. There are 12 grandkids in the picture, one was missing that day.Christmas Eve we had Christmas with my parents. First a picture of my plate  ... Yummy, yummy. Makes me hungry just looking at it. My mother is a wonderful cook. Should've took one of the desserts too:) Here are the kids exchanging gifts at their grandparents... Yep, only 4 kids on my side of the family. Big change from dh's. And here is our yearly family picture... We always go back to my parents on Christmas morning for a big breakfast but this year it didn't happen. First time since we've been married. Mom woke up with a stomach virus and daddy was in the other bedroom sick with fever, sore throat, etc. They spent Christmas Day in the bed Now, on to Christmas morning. We had a wonderful blessed Christmas. Against my better judgement, I'll share the picture dd took of dh and myself.  I got a PINK (my favorite color) Dirt Devil broom vac...(I love that thing), a fluffy throw, and a new Vera Bradley. You probably can't see it, but it's sitting on the back of the couch. Oh yea, and a bag of my favorite candy....little Reeses cups. Dh got a Wii hunting game, 2nd season of Mork & Mindy (thats what he asked for) and 2 pair dress pants. For some reason we didn't take hardly any pictures, but here are the kids opening their stocking stuffers.  Dd got lots of clothes, pocketbook, and to be honest I can't remember what else Ds got some clothes, airsoft pistol, holster, bullets and can't remember what else:) They also got this.... a go-kart. But unfortunately haven't been able to enjoy it yet. It was sooo muddy Christmas day that ds only rode for a bit and dd not at all. Then someting happened to it and now we're waiting for it to be fixedNow that I have filled in the month of December I must share that we had snow today! Only about 2", but we were still excited. This tree was one of the prettiest...  the snow had fallen from the other trees by the time I got out to take pictures. My kids and their cousins went WAY back in the woods to sled, but by the time I headed down there to take pictures they were headed back for some lunch:( So here they are walking back. My sons already asking if we can have another day off of school tomorrow:) But that's not gonna happen. There's not much snow left but I did tell him he could go sled some before school....he still wasn't real happy:) |
