Visiting Santa

We went to Red Lodge last night to enjoy their small town Christmas Parade/Celebration. It was so cool. The town shut down their main street and had a little snow plow parade with Santa (Sorry we were ten minutes late and missed the whole thing! LOL! Small town remember! LOL!). The street is then open for all walkers to stroll up and down to shop, plus there was kettle corn, hot coco, carolers, a band, horse carriage rides and several fire pits. The girls were so excited to see Santa. Tana acted a little shy, but was sure to tell him what she wanted for Christmas.

Yes, we were the one of those people that put up their Chirstmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving. We really love doing it. All of the kids enjoyed helping in all of the docorating. Here some pictures of our Christmas decorations.

Christmas Program

Friday, Kailey had a Christmas Choir Program with her school. It was so cute to see all of them perform their songs. They even had jingle bells in their hands as they were singing.

And here is one of the two new members of her class, yes, a class-pet. The names are to be announced. Each student is able to make up two names that will be put into a bag, then out of those names, the teacher will draw a winner for each of the guinea pigs.

Fireplace Completion

YEAH!!! Paul just finished up all of the drywall on Sunday. He did a great job. I am so happy to finally dust! Silly?! The mirror is a (very long) temporary placement for a flat screen. However, we are a long way from that purchase.

Black Friday Nap

So innocently sleeping. Black Friday really wore him out! Just kidding, he did not even go out of the house that day. We did have a fifteen month check up just today and he weighs twenty-four pounds, one ounce (in the 50%), with a length of thirty-one and a quarter inches (in the 60%). His head is eighteen and a half inches round (in the 40%). He does have a fluid in his ears, but there is no infection, so please keep him in your prayers, as this has been a problem in the past. Over all he is doing great and a very happy baby boy!

Thanksgiving Event

Kailey's class put on a Thanksgiving Event on November 25th before the Thanksgiving Break. Her whole class got up in front of all of the parents and third and fourth graders and said a cute Thanksgiving poem:

"Five little turkeys standing by the door

One waddled off and then there were four

Four little turkeys sittin in tree

One waddled off and then there were three

Three little turkeys with nothing to do

One waddled off and then there were two

Two little turkeys sittin in the sun

One waddled off and then there was one

One little turkey better run away

Cause soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!"

It was very cute to see all of the kids up there reciting this poem and they all did very well!

After that we all gathered around and ate a Thanksgiving Lunch together. And story time to end with. It was all very enjoyable!

Pajama Day

It was pajama day at school! (November 7th) Kailey was so excited and even picked out the pajamas she wanted to wear, the night before. They even got to bring a their own pillow and blanket, as you can see her favorite is her Little Mermaid blanket. Kailey also brought her baby that she sleeps with every night.

Awana's Award Night

This is award night at Awana Cubbies November 5th (yes, running a little behind on my blog). Tana received her first set of patches to put on her vest. She was really excited and more so now that they are on her vest.

Kailey is now in Awana Sparks and she is receiving her first earned jewel.
