Our Tuesday Happenings!

I had the pleasure of spending the day with my niece Selena today. We had a busy but fun day. Today was Landon's class Christmas Party at school. I was asked by his room mother to bring a snack and help out. So, Selena and I headed to the school around 10:30 am. The room mother had brought enough crafts to have 3 different centers where the kids could make different ornaments and a Christmas decoration. Here is Landon making a Santa Nutcracker.

The finished product . . . . .While I was helping out at the ornament tables I looked over to check on Selena and I noticed she was surrounded by a bunch of the boys. It was so cute - the guys not the girls were totally into getting her snacks, a drink and they entertained her. They will all make great father's some day :-)

Landon and his friend at the ornament table.Landon's teacher put on this fun music and the boys started doing some "rap" type dancing. I was happily surprised at their rhythem including my son who is normally a little on the quiet side.




After the party Selena and I headed home to wait for Lisa and the kids. When they got to my house we headed over to the barn to take the kids on a horse ride. The weather was a beautiful 75 degrees - a perfect riding day! Here I am with Christian

With Kaitlyn . . . .And with Selena...We then headed down the street to Ken and Lisa's house that is under construction. They are currently working on the trim work and they are suppose to start painting the interior tomorrow.

After looking at the house we headed back to my house for awhile. We had a snack visited with my kids as they all came home from school. Lisa and Christian then headed back to her inlaws to take a nap. Kaitlyn stayed with me so she could play with Sierra and Selena. Here is Kaitlyn and Selena. They wanted to take a walk to see the chickens, roosters and turkey's. They were all hiding . . . so no pictures.
We then headed to the front porch. Kaitlyn wanted to listen to some Christmas music so we flipped the music on.Selena started clapping her hands.then took a break when she asked to go on the swing.Kaitlyn then said -come on "Ebby" - that is what she call me - "Let's dance". So, she and I boogied on the front porch to Christmas music.About a half hour later, Selena's grandmother came by to pick her up. Sierra and Kaitlyn decided they were hot and wanted to swim - so it was back in the pool again today!In the backyard Landon and the neighbor friends were using their "imagination" - I love when they do that - and were playing some kind of fort. As the kids played . . . . Cassie watched everything!I now have Sierra asleep in bed and Landon will be shortly. I am going to throw my jammies on and attempt to write our Annual Christmas Letter. This year is the LATEST that I have ever sent out cards. I do have the envelopes all addressed and the cards are here and waiting to be stuffed as soon as I get my letter written and copied. Hopefully you all will be receiving them before Christmas! I also hope to get in a few episodes of the second season of LOST. Lisa brought over the next box series so I am anxiously waiting to see what happens.
