ONE CHRISTMAS DOWN

My family spent the weekend here for our Christmas celebration. It was the only weekend in December that we could all be together, so we ran with it. We had a wonderful time. There was tons of food, plenty of laughs & lots of presents. The house seems too quiet tonight!

Other news:
  • Jake lost his first indoor soccer game of the season. He was thrilled that Papa & Uncle Michael got to see him play. Michael also made it for the tail end of his basketball practice, so he loved that!
  • Allie had her Christmas ballet recital. She danced to Holly & Ivy. She didn't love her costume. In fact, she initially said that she REFUSED to wear the skirt. It was ugly, too short & made out of yarn! She loved that Nana, Mandy, Kim, Tesha & I all got to see her performance. Everyone cheered for her when she got into the car. She loves that kind of attention.
  • We had a blizzard here mid-week. We got 14.5 inches of snow, lots of wind, blowing & drifting snow & cold. We got out of school early on Tuesday & didn't go back 'til Friday. I got lots done to prepare for my family's arrival.
  • Next week brings: basketball practice, brownie meeting, class holiday parties, volunteering in Allie's class, indoor soccer game & hopefully I can finish up a few things around here!
