An attempt to catch up...

The last couple weeks of December for busy ones....attempt #1.

Monday, December 16th.
We started off Brody's birthday week on Monday by inviting two of his classmates to join us for an early birthday celebration. We help transport these girls to Julia's on Monday's so lunch at TGI Friday's seemed like a good way to celebrate with a small crowd!! I let them drink lemonade...two trips to the bathroom later, we made it through lunch!  Lesson learned!

Wednesday, December 18th.
It took a large family effort, but we finally got started on our Christmas cards.  It takes immense concentration to apply to stamps.
The Christmas Star...I don't really remember when Kurt scaled the house to put it up, but it's massive and awesome!  You rock Kurt!!
Friday, December 20th.
Brody's 5th Birthday.
Also, the school's Christmas program.  We deemed the Christmas program a complete success because Brody's lips moved when he was supposed to be singing and Riley didn't cry!!  Ri also let me drop him off in the basement with his classmates and walked to the front of church without me by his side.  We are making progress!!!!
Saturday, December 21st.
Brody's birthday party...pictures somewhere in a different post.
Grandma Yakey's birthday party...pictures elsewhere as well.

Sunday, December 22nd.
The Bible Christmas.
Lunch & gifts at Granddad Bob's and Grandma Sandy's and then we went to Great-Great Grandma Helen's so she could gift the boys their gifts and so Santa could bring them something as well.  
As we were leaving Great-Great Grandma Helen's house, Brody told us he thought Santa really was Uncle Kye...sharp eye my friend!


Monday, December 23rd.
The boys and I spent quite a bit of time baking treats for our neighbors.  It was also pajama day!  The Ellis' were still hanging out in Stew so I know we spent time with them as well. I just don't remember what we did?
