Mikaela's Party at School

Xander got all dressed up - blazer and cowboy boots and we trekked off to Mikaela's holiday party at school.

Mikaela's class had pizza.

I read them three Christmas stories. We sang "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer."

The kids decorated a Christmas cookie.

They had a book exchange.

Daisy Scouts Get Ready for Christmas

In preparation for our upcoming Christmas party, the girls made cards for each other.

Be careful when you give directions to five giggly girl scouts and one wild stem (Xander is our daisy stem........the girls decided that he needed an official position).

They cut up old Christmas cards of mine, and created new Christmas cards of their own (look at us reviewing those laws "use resources wisely"!).

Happy Birthday Two for One!

We look like we are going to be sweet and have a lovely evening....

We celebrated my grandmother ("MaMa") and my Uncle Tommy's birthday early this month by having dinner out with the whole family!

The Thrailkills are still apologetic to anyone seated anywhere near us as the kiddos were in rare form.

I am still sure that they both spent more time on the floor than in their chairs..........
