Outside Decorations

Dearest Gifts~

Grace and Joshua both ended in our bed at some point in the middle of the night … it got pretty crowded fast.  :-P  By 4:45am Faith was nursing. 

The girls helped me drop Joshua off at school.  Then, we went shopping!  I took the girls to two different places for some outside Christmas decorations!  ;-)  We got some stars for the yard, a light up Mickey, and a light up Elmo!  Haha!  I wanted a pig, but they didn't have the one I wanted …. oh well!  Maybe next year!  ;-)

The girls and I got home around 11am and put up our outdoor decorations.  You all also helped me clean off the fireplace mantle to put up our advent calendar from yesterday.  It’s beginning to look a little more like Christmas in the house!  ;-)  I got daddy and I some special UNC stockings to hang.  Now, we all have stockings hung up over the fireplace. 

After lunch, I did a quick 60 minutes on the exercise bike as you all played.  You all helped me cook dinner after.  We made some BBQ chicken, with rice and veggies, on the stove.

Joshua had a great day at school.  He had chicken and rice for lunch and ate it all!  There were two birthdays in your class over the weekend, so you all had cupcakes too!  You loved the Christmas decorations that the girls and I picked out …. we turned on the lights once we got home. 

Everyone ate dinner.  Daddy saw our lights when he got home.  We were playing downstairs when he walked in the door.  You all played some Wii games this evening.  

Faith, your right eye has been crusty/teary all day.  I placed a warm washcloth on it several times.  I hope it gets better soon.

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you all so much!
