We had a very busy few days last weekend. It has taken us a few days to recover, but we're finally posting!
Saturday started off with our Christmas concert at school. Chase went first. He didn't do much singing, but he did clap for himself after each song. We had a little time after Chase's show before mine, so Daddy, Grandpa, Chase and I all went to Home Depot to see the kids craft for December. We picked up our wagon kits and headed back to school to get ready for my show.
Some of you may remember me crying at the steps at last year and refusing to go on stage....not only did I go on stage this year, but I sang every word! I had a lot of fun and we even had cookies and punch after the show was over. Since Grandma and Grandpa had a wedding to go to and daddy had to go to work, mommy took us to McDonald's for lunch and we even got a milkshake for such a good performance!
After our naps, daddy was home and he helped us put our wagons together. I had fun hammering the wheels and putting the stickers on. Chase and I gave a lot of our animals and Little People rides around the living room.
After dinner that night we had a special visitor- Will! Will came over to play with us while Aunt Sarah and Uncle Kyle went to a Christmas party. We all had fun making cookies, playing basketball, playing kitchen, reading books and watching Wonder Pets. Chase and I even joined in when Will started doing the Hokey Pokey.
When I woke up on Sunday, I was sad to discover Will went home. I hope he can come back to play soon. After eating breakfast, we were off to church. Chase and I had fun in our Sunday School room. Chase played with his favorite toy- the vacuum cleaner!
After church we went on our Christmas tree hunt. Mommy and daddy said I could pick out the tree this year. I looked......
....and looked
....and looked
....and looked
and finally I found it! I think mom and dad were pleasantly surprised at the tree I picked- it only has one little bare spot. After we found the tree, daddy said we could buy some 'snow' to put on the tree. As we were walking out we saw Santa and reindeer! Can you believe Santa flew all the way to Columbus to see us?! They also had carriage rides and we all hopped in for a ride with the horse. Chase especially like the ride!
All that tree searching wore me out, so we were off to naps. When we woke up daddy had the tree up in the living room- it's a very nice tree if I must say so myself! For dinner we went back to church for a birthday party- Jesus' birthday party! We sang 'Happy Birthday' and of course had cake. We got to make ornament, have a snow ball fight and Santa even stopped buy to read us a story and hand out candy canes. What a great day!
I think the weekend was too much for Chase b/c he woke up sick on Monday. Mommy stayed home with him and when daddy and I got home that night we got to decorate the tree. I had A LOT of fun hanging ornaments on tree! Chase has been having fun taking the ornaments off....
Chase passed along his illness to me and I had to stay home with daddy on Wednesday. We all seem to be doing better. Thankfully we all have a weekend off to relax.
Have a Great weekend and hopefully we'll have some concert videos up soon!
