Friday December 21

We had a full day today.

Lots of Christmas fun.

The days started out with Christmas parties at school.

I should have taken a picture of Madi before school, cause she looked really cute and Christmas-y today.

We got several emails and phone calls yesterday regarding the middle school.

Saying there had been rumors of threats to the school.

The kids were told that absences would not be held against them if they chose to stay home, but that they would up the security at school just to be safe.

Even though they found no credibility to the threats.

Madi chose to go to school, but she said that about half the school was gone.

Her first class normally has 30 kids and there was only 18 today.

But she had a very fun day today, so she is glad she went.

Elsie and Cassi both had class parties today.

I helped with the breakfast in Cassi's class first thing in the morning.

I had time to go home for about 30 minutes before I had to head back to help for Elsie's class party.

When I got home Dad came in thinking I had played a prank on him.

He went into the shop to grab something and left the 4-wheeler running.

When he came back out, the 4-wheeler was missing.

It took him a while but he found it down by the canal up by the old tree.

It had rolled about 150 ft or so.

The wind was pretty brutal today....and I am sure that is what started it rolling.

Kind of funny, and good that it didn't cause any damage :)

I got a lot of wrapping done today once I got Port down for a nap and Elsie watching a movie :)

Almost done!

When Cassi got home from school we headed to Katie's clinic where they were having a Christmas party.

And they had Santa.

Elsie has been so excited for this!

Until she saw Santa.

But Port was so excited to talk to the big guy.

He actually sat on his lap for a really long time.

It was pretty cute.

Then we stopped at Panda Express for some yummy dinner.

When we got home we had a visit from the Terry Family.

Sure love those guys.

Lots of fun...noisy fun :)
