Ava's current stuffed animal collection. Each one has a different name and birthday.....although I think some of them change on a day to day basis. But she likes to be snuggled down with all of them.
This is all the snow we have gotten this year. The kids made sure to get out and shovel it for me. They are really excited about the prospect of some real snow.
Ava's Big News: She is the student of the month for December!!! She was chosen because she demonstrates the character trait of respect. She told me it was the best day of her life.
I just found little cardboard box Nativity sets for the kids to decorate. They were sitting together coloring and putting on stickers and Ava was explaining the Christmas story to Dawson. "And then Dawson, they brought baby Jesus gold.....for no money down!" I was howling with laughter! Where do they get this stuff?
For Christmas we got Shadow a new dog bed. She was was too big for her old one. The kids LOVE this dog bed. I find the kids regularly laying in the dog bed, when Shadow is no where to be seen. Carter proclaimed today it was the only comfortable bed in the house.
Mike went to the grocery store this afternoon to pick up ingredients for dinner (we hadn't planned on being here, but Carter got sick.) As he was walking out the door with Dawson I heard him say "Dad, since Mom isn't coming can we get cookies and bacon?" The other funny piece of this story is that they came home with "Christmas" cookies to enjoy with our Christmas movie. After I pointed out the star of David on the package we enjoyed our Hanukkah cookies with our movie.
And the countdown begins, only six days left until Christmas! I think Mike and I are just as excited as the kids, our favorite holiday!
