Monday, December 19 - Anna invited some friends over today to make gingerbread houses so we went over before bowling. It was really cute. Jenny had gotten milk cartons from the school so they just pasted graham crackers onto the cartons with frosting. Zack had a blast with his friends and Ricki enjoyed eating lots of candy!
Tuesday, December 20 - A few ward members and friends were in a production of Princess Academy so we took our girls (I also brought Quinn) and we saw it. It was so cute! We all really enjoyed it.
Wednesday, December 21 - Zack's preschool Christmas program was the cutest thing ever! I love when they sing and sign Silent Night. There is just something so special about 3-5 year old kids signing such a beloved song. I also love his gift for me, Zack's mistletoes!
Thursday, December 22 - It was ugly sweater day at MACU and Simon went full-fledged! He was Cousin Eddy from Christmas Vacation. Someone even had a moose mug like the one in the show. He looked hilarious and won 2nd place in the whole office!
Friday, December 23 - It seems like every year on Christmas Eve we are struggling to find Christmas cookies to leave out for Santa. I wasn't having that this year so we made sugar cookies. I let the kids each have three to decorate themselves.
Saturday, December 24 - Well, it's happened. The one thing I always worry about with little kids...the eventual self-haircut! Simon told Ricki we needed to cut out the elastics from her hair to get ready for baths. She took that as an invitation to try to cut the elastic out of her hair herself! She cut a big chunk of hair out. I got mad at first but then decided this was a picture moment. Ricki's first-ever haircut. The stylist? Ricki! :) Tonight was our annual Christmas Eve prime rib dinner at Grandma and Jim's. We also exchanged some gifts to make Christmas morning easier. When we got home from dinner, we tracked Santa, set out cookies and milk, then got into bed so that he could come! Merry Christmas Eve!
Sunday, December 25 - Merry Christmas! This has been a fun and wonderful day! I love my family and friends so much and am so grateful for all those that are in my life.
