Grandma kept up with her cookie making tradition and invited the grandkids over to make homemade sugar cookies and gingerbread houses. We all feel the love when she lets the grandkids come over and bake for a few hours while their parents are allowed to go and do whatever they want. I headed to the mall to get a few last minute gifts and enjoy some See's candy! Thank you Grandma for loving your grandchildren so much and their parents!!!!
Lauren had her preschool Christmas party. They sang songs, showed us what they do during the day, exchanged Christmas gifts and ate treats. It was so cute and fun to watch her interact with the kids in her class. It is also nice because 6 of the 8 kids in her preschool class are also in our ward. They are all such cute sweet kids and are so lucky to have Mrs. Farnsworth/Sis. Farnsworth as their teacher!
Chase, Hayden and I went to Broadway Palm and saw A Christmas Carol. It was a great show and perfect for the Christmas season. It was Scott's birthday that night and so we went with Scott, Julz, Kaden, Brylee and Branson. We had a great time and the girls even danced their way to car!
Lauren and I went to Walmart and then stopped at Ella's house! Well, Julz made Lauren's day when she said.... "Why don't you have Lauren stay for the day!" Lauren was THRILLED! During the day Julz emailed me the picture of them in bath and said... "They have been in there for over 2 hours!" They played all day and then Lauren even got to go their ward's babysitting night. Lauren had the best day! I was so happy to see her the next morning to hear all about her day. (Brian picked her up and brought her home at 9:45pm and she was asleep). She could not stop talking about her most AMAZING day!
Lauren had her Christmas Dance Recital and she did WONDERFUL! She looked beautiful and had a great time. It was so fun for her to have Kate in her class. She has loved taking tap and ballet this year from Ms. Liz.
The kids had a great time at our ward Christmas party. Santa paid a visit and all the kids were excited to tell him what they wanted. Well, Chase just goes along with the magic of Christmas, Hayden is afraid to not believe and tell Santa what she wants, Blake believes but also does not believe (a little confusing), and Lauren just does not like Santa and still does not care if HE brings her a gift or not.
