Bailey's Holiday Sing

Bailey had her holiday sing at school. She even got to announce one of the songs! She was all smiles and so adorable singing her heart out.

Eli's 40th Birthday Celebration

For Eli's 40th, we hosted a fun casino type night. Jaymee, along with a few of her cheerleaders, were our dealers for the night. We played roulette, black jack, and poker. It was a great celebration of Eli!

Birthday Celebrations

December is birthday month. We celebrated Colby's parents at Hotel Bel Aire, Colby's at Chuckie Cheese, and mine at home. Some I managed to capture with pictures, other I did not.

"Beary" Important Person

Bailey has been the "Beary" Important Person all week at school. She brought home her bear to decorate with pictures over the weekend. Monday morning she held the flag in front of the entire school for the weekly assembly. She also got to bring some of her important people to listen to her explain her bear and her special treasures. She has been line leader all week among other responsibilities. She's been beaming ever since Friday afternoon when she brought home her bear!

Christmas Tree Shopping

There was a chill in the air last night, so the kids strapped on their hats and mittens and we went Christmas tree shopping!

We had a great time "ice skating" at Kaleidoscope. Colby's brother was still in town so he got to join us as well.
