Last blog, I reported that Caitlin would be walking in our Holiday Parade. Unfortunately, that didn't happen since she wound up getting sick (first out of two times this month) right before the parade. Poor thing! She did get to help decorate the banner with her troop so at least she was able to be involved. The upside (or downside) was that we were able to watch the Army-Navy game sooner than later. It was such a TOUGH game to watch! We'll keep rooting on Brave Ol' Army and hoping that things turn around for them VERY soon.
Caitlin had her first away-from-home sleepover this month. Her friend, Keeli, invited Caitlin and their other good friend, Emma over while Keeli's brother was having his birthday sleepover party. Keeli's mother had 7 boys and 3 girls. What a saint!!! In typical form, there was some 1st grade drama but all in all the girls had a good time and said they would like to do it again.
The kids last week of school was filled with activity. Book Exchanges, Ornament Exchanges, Secret Santas, Toys for Tots, Gingerbread House Making, Holiday Music Program, Peanut Cracker, Christmas Parties, Pajama Day, on and on and on. But as of Friday, the kids are out of school until January. It's up to me to keep them engaged. They have written a list (and keep adding to it) of all the things that they would like to do while they are on break. Make a snowman, go sledding, have a snowball fight (please cooperate weather), bake cookies, the list goes on and on and on. It should be a lot of family fun once Amazon starts slowing down. (We can see the light at the end of the tunnel.)
Well, our lights are up, the house is festive (and short two stocking holders - thank you Cameron), the tree is decorated, the presents are purchased, the cards are sent (today for that matter), so now it's off to wrap, wrap, wrap! We wish you an amazing holiday week!!!
