Friday December 20

Let the Christmas vacation begin!!!!!!

This morning, after sending the girls to school, the boys took me shopping.

They dropped me off to do clothes shopping and then they headed to Cabelas.

I met back up with them, and found out that if I signed up for a Cableas card, I got like $25 free bucks to use, and the person who referred me (Brent) got $45.

So we got $65 free dollars today and a free hat for the boy :)

Pretty great!

So I got all my shopping done.

I got all their Christmas dresses, and boy church clothes :)

I almost bought nothing I needed to alter......

But I just could not find a dress or skirt to work for Elsie.

But I found a great one, that would be Cassi's size, and I am gonna fix it to fit Elsie :)

And they all got new shoes for church too.

We were hurting bad for some new church stuff!

After that we came home and worked on some stuff out in Santa's workshop.

Then I headed out to get my blood drawn when Brent called me and said the school called, cause Madi had a migraine.

So I went and grabbed her, swapped her at home for Porter and Port and I went to Cassi and Elsie's Christmas parties at school.

My phone dies, so I just got one picture of Elsie with Mrs. Chris.

It was a fun time.

Elsie's class did a book swap, and there were extra books, so Porter got one too.

He ended up getting "How the Grinch stole Christmas".

He was super excited about it :)

Elsie got a really cute one too, "Home For Christmas" by Jan Brett.

I love the art work!!!

Anyway....

Madi's migraine got better.

We had planned to have Jaime over today.

She felt good enough, that Dad and Madi went to pick her up.

After school, Cassi and I ran to Wal-Mart

I had to get birthday gifts for Elsie and Cassi.

They both had parties this evening.

Elsie left at 5:30, Cassi at 6:30.

It was snowing by this time....and dark....so the driving wasn't fun.

We picked Elsie up at 7:30 and Cassi at 9.

Dad picked up Cassi and then drove Jaime home at the same time.

So it should have been relaxing to have them all gone....

But instead we were driving back and forth everywhere.

Oh well, at least we were safe.

Before Cassi left for her party, Dad made a sled out of parts from the old dryer.

He pulled the kids around on it and it was a big hit :)

Madi and Jaime kept it up after we took Cassi.

Fun stuff.
