Monday, December 12 - We bought these stockings last year after Christmas and I called around to a bunch of places to try to get our names embroidered on them. Most places wanted a fortune or couldn't do it so I gave up and started looking at letters to attach to them this year. I bought some at Walmart that were really cute but I couldn't find an 'R' for Ricki. In the process at checking at each Walmart, Marisa texted me and said a lady was advertising embroidery and specifically stockings on Facebook. I gave her a call and sure enough, she said she could do it for $5 per stocking! Heck yes! She did an amazing job and it was only $30!! Score!
Tuesday, December 13 - Nick had a presentation this morning about his heritage and where he comes from. We let them sample English Marmite - which they all hated. :) He did a great job on his presentation and on the project as a whole. After the kids and I left school, we met Grandma Howard at Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Afterward, we went shopping for the kids' Christmas gifts. It was fun being with grandma. We never do this anymore.
Wednesday, December 14 - I spent a lot of the day wrapping gifts. I thought this was funny. The big giant red gift is for Jenni and the tiny little gold gift is for BJ. The funny thing is that I actually think they cost the exact same amount of money! #actuallylovethemboth
Thursday, December 15 - Dad's business rocks! He got tickets for Simon, Amie, him, and I to go see the new Star Wars movie: Rogue One on it's premiere night! I was a fun hubby/daddy/BFF date for me! The show wasn't bad either!
Friday, December 16 - Traditions! Mom, Jenni, and I got together today to make candy. I spared you the picture of the awful microwave caramels that we made but everything else turned out wonderfully! I don't know why we only make candy at Christmas! It's fun and oh so yummy!!
Saturday, December 17 - Simon had to work this morning and the kids were restless to have some fun. They put together the gingerbread house kit that my mom gave them. When they had their fill of candy and frosting, they put on their snow gear and went outside to play. They had a blast until Nick hit Zack square in the face with a snowball. Tonight was the Olson's annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party! I look forward to this party all year! I made our shirts and, although mine was pretty naughty, I won the prize! What a fun night with some fun friends!
Sunday, December 18 - Alexis needed some pictures of Finley with Dave & Viv and they were so cute, I just had to snag them from her. Look at that sweet little face!
