Dec 17 - 23

Monday, December 17 - It's crunch time! I buckled down and got Kenny and Katie's Christmas gift all done. I know they don't have a ton of decorations for the holidays yet so I thought it would be fun to make them something interchangeable so that they at least have one thing to put up. I hope they like this!

Tuesday, December 18 - It's super fun week at school! Zack was supposed to dress like the Grinch today so he wore a green shirt with a Santa costume over it. :) It was also Kendra's class party, which I was in charge of. They decorated cookies, wore jammies, and watched "The Polar Express". 

Wednesday, December 19 - It's Kendra's Grinch day so we dressed her up like Cindy Lou Who. :) Her fancy hair came out after about an hour. She said it was hurting her head, darn it. Tonight, the Mia Maids and Teachers met to make gingerbread houses. It was so much fun!

Thursday, December 20 - Ricki starred in her preschool Christmas program! It was so cute!! It melts my heart when these little kids sign the words to Silent Night while singing it. Not a dry eye in the crowd! Tonight, I secretly filmed Ricki crying for her bestie after she had already cried for about 30 minutes for her. I sent it to Penney Thomson, Ricki's very best friend in the world, and 3 minutes later there was a knock at the door! Penney is seriously the sweetest! She stayed and played with Ricki for about 30 minutes and even tucked her into bed! 

Friday, December 21 - This is a first in the Pearson household. Quinn, Weston, and Eva slept over at our house so Amie could go enjoy her work Christmas party. These kids were seriously so amazing! They were so good, I barely even noticed I had extra kids around! My kids LOVED having them here! It was a fun night with our great friends that we don't see nearly often enough!

Saturday, December 22 - Sweet Ricki brought home this gingerbread house. I never know what to do with them! I took this picture and then somehow "misplaced" her house. Glad I caught a photo of it though before it was lost. :) 

Sunday, December 23 - We always forget to have cookies on-hand for Santa so tonight, we baked and decorated cookies. The kids had a blast and I was grateful that they didn't even want to be on electronics during this time!
