We have been in the Christmas Spirit around here lately. The Christmas music is playing, we have been crafting like crazy, and we have had some visits to Santa along the way.
The other day after work, I took the kids to Hy-Vee to see Santa. They both did really well. They sat on his lap separately and told Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Elliott wants Hot Wheels, which isn't very specific, but a very good idea. Emma requested a skateboard and roller skates, not sure where those came from, but we will see what Santa can do. They both smiled nice for the pictures, got some coloring crayons and books, and a cookie and candy cane. They had a good time.
We also took some time to head to Falls Park later in the evening. It was gorgeous outside (50 degrees) and we all really enjoyed walking around and seeing all the Christmas lights. It was great!
We have just been crazy busy lately, it's not even funny. Last weekend was filled up with Rollerskating lessons and Christmas practice for Emma and just basically running around town. I feel like I blinked and the weekend was over.
This past week, we have had something going on literally every single night. Monday night was Gymnastics for Emma. On Tuesday, I worked pretty late so everyone got home late and it was a short night. Wednesday, we had church and Emma sang for it, so that took up the entire evening. On Thursday, Elliot had his Christmas program for daycare. It was absolutely adorable. They sang songs with actions, and it was super adorable. Elliott did really well, and loved performing in front of all the people.
Last night, Jim and Barb came to pick up the kids around 5pm to take them to the farm for the night, and John and I went to Castaways for supper with his 9 clouds coworkers. Then we all headed to the Stampede game. It was a fun evening and nice to hang out with everyone.
Today, we got to sleep in past 6:00 am. It was amazing! I did a little shopping this morning, and now we are just enjoying being home and playing and crafting away. John is at the SDSU football game right now (brr!!). The kids and I are playing with legos at the moment, and having fun. Tonight, we are going to a Christmas party that one of my coworkers is throwing, so that should be pretty fun.
P.S. It finally snowed for the first time this past Monday, and the kids are obsessed with it! They ask every day if we can go sledding and play in the snow. The other day after work we played outside for a little while, and did some sledding down the driveway. They thought it was amazing. But, we definitely need more than this one inch of snow that we have right now to do any more outside festivities.
