Break Activities

We were able to do a lot of fun things during the break. We went to Mr. Magorium's Wonderful Emporium. It was such a fun movie with such a deep meaning. After the movie Rebecca said "Mom I believe in myself! I just know that I can do anything!" I thought that was so cute of her. Anyway, other activities included swimming, roller skating, playing games, playing the Wii, and making too many goodies that were ALL eaten!!!!

Christmas

I know this a little after the fact, but had to journal our Christmas.

We had a fun party the night before with friends and family. We played our chimes, ate doughnuts on a string, acted out the nativity and then opened our new PJ's. They are such fun traditions that we try and do every year. The kids remind us of any that may be forgotten.

The kids were so excited! I think I was as excited as they were. The boys got a Wii, the girls little Hello Kitty digital cameras, Ashley got a bouncy horse that is huge, and Jerrica got a fun floor toy.


10 minutes before our Christmas dinner was to come out of the oven, Stephen announced that he couldn't take it anymore and had to go to the ER. He had a kidney stone, and from the looks of things, he was in pain!!!! He was shivering and throwing up on the way. Thanks to Kim, she came over and saved the dinner and played with the kids.

I saw the neatest quote at a friend's house this season. I have to write it down before I forget it. I hope I have it right.

There were two groups that night in Bethlehem
The "INN" crowd and the few at the stable
Which group are YOU in?

Breath of Heaven

Christmas Lights

Tonight we drove around looking at the holiday lights. The Gazette had listed the top houses with the most lights. Stephen was glad that we were not on the list. He isn't much of a holiday light putter upper. Plus, that would mean our utility bill would be even more, another negative aspect according to Stephen. Anyway, it was fun we sang Christmas carols as we drove around. Ashley was chanting "Ho, Ho, Ho" the entire time. We were lost at one point and I called Kim for directions. She had just made Bunco Bars and told us to come and get some for our FHE treat. As always they were divine!!!

Cool Christmas Carol

The Movie

Friday I took the kids to see Enchanted. It was really a cute movie. I knew the girls loved it because as soon as we got home they ran up to their rooms and put on their princess dresses. Thanks again Aunt Kristy for making those, they love them. Then they danced and pretended all afternoon. Anyway, go see the movie, it was cute!!!
