Merry Chrsitmas





I finally have pictures from the Christmas program. Valynn had a part of the reading and Mason held up posters. The kids did a great job. Mason had his Christmas party today (even Kyra got in on the treats) and has his Christmas program tonight. We then plan on going to the Festival of Lights. We've had a busy week. Mark and I finally got a chance to do some Christmas shopping while some friends watched the kids. I worked yesterday since we didn't get the weather that was predicted. Tomorrow Valynn has dance and hopefully we can get the packing done before we leave on Saturday. We hope everyone has a safe and Happy Christmas and New Year.

Storms and celebrations





Friday night we decorated for Christmas. Of course the decorations wouldn't be complete without the train. We stayed home Saturday during the ice storm, which meant we finally got some things done around the house. On Sunday we were busy, busy, busy. We had Sunday School and church where the kids practiced for their Christmas program. After church we headed directly to the Civic Center for the Caterpillar Holiday Laser Light show. The kids thought the lasers were neat. We then went out to eat and afterwards headed home for 45 minutes of rest time. At 4:00 Valynn sang at the Princeville Fire Department with the Girl Scouts as part of their Holiday Homecoming. We then went to all the businesses in town to get our card stamped and enter the drawings, we also took a wagon ride behind a tractor. At 6:00 we headed back to the Firehouse for the drawings. We didn't win any of the giveaways but we did bid on a Snowman and won, I'll take a picture of it in the future. We are busy trying to get everything done before we head up north. Mason this weekend started telling us that he wants a roommate. He started crying when we told him dad could be his roommate, Mason wants a baby brother but he'll take a baby sister just so he can have a roommate. Valynn's reading was tested a couple of weeks ago but we still haven't heard the results of it. It sounds like Kyra is trying to put a couple of words together and form sentences. Have a good week.
