Christmas Update Part 2

Mom turned 82 on Dec. 18 so the family got together for a celebration. We got a lot of snow that day so not everybody could make it but it was fun to be together.


Kaitlyn's teacher made her hat. Everyone in the class got one.


The toothfairy made an appearance to our house on the 23rd. Good thing it was that day and not one day later. Someone would have been busy being Santa and the toothfairy. Renee actually knocked it out, but not on purpose. One minute they were just fooling around in the kitchen and it got bumped. The next thing I knew Kaitlyn was crying and the tooth was on the floor.

On Christmas Eve we went to a family dinner at Legacy with my mom and Ginny and Harold. It was a very nice time and the price was perfect......free. The girls enjoyed the springrolls. After that we went to the candlelighting service at our church. They had battery-operated candles for the children 6 and under. Kaitlyn opted for the battery one, after a few minutes of wavering back and forth. I was pleased with her decision. I love looking around the sanctuary when the candles are all lit. It's so beautiful!




The girls were excited opening presents. They really got into picking out gifts for each other this year and couldn't wait for the other to open the gift they picked out. They were pretty pleased with the end results. Lots of loot. They each got Leapsters.....Kaitlyn was thrilled, Renee was mildly excited. But if Santa hadn't brought her one too, she would have protest so in the long run I'd rather have her mildly excited.

I love that family picture of you guys, what a great picture! And what a classic picture of the girls with Grandma.

I didn't know they had the battery operated candles, what a good idea.
