I'm Behind Again

Some of these pics are from a few weeks ago and I kept forgetting to post them. Santa was at the Navy Exchange the weekend before Thanksgiving, so unexpectedly (especially since there wasn't a line!) Hailey got to see Santa early. We are going to take the girls back in their Christmas dresses when Leevi gets home, but I snapped a quick picture anyway AND then got busted by Santa's helper...she said, "Um, could you please put your camera away. You can't take pictures." I thought, "Lady, she's in her soccer uniform!!!??" And "too bad, I already got one!" :) She gets to ride this train after soccer and commissary shopping on Saturdays if she's behaved nicely. We are waiting for Leevi to ride the big one at the mall.

So proud of myself for getting the house lights up Thanksgiving Weekend. 6 of our 8 neighbors in our cul-de-sac have outside lights up...so fun!!!!

Practicing more monkey tricks

Hailey had woken up at night before I went to bed but then fell asleep again while waiting on me to go back upstairs with her.

Tiff and I took the kids (OUR LAST FUN FUNCTION TO HAVE TO DO ALONE WITHOUT THE GUYS!!!!) to a Christmas Festival at her church on Saturday. They had crafts, Santa, and the big ticket item...SNOW!!!!

Looks like our official Santa visit will be fun!!!

Playing in the snow...it was more like a large Shave Ice, but the novelty of it was neat! Her bum had to have been so cold, but she was the only one of the 5 who didn't complain!

We had our annual Girls Night Christmas party on Saturday. We took turns guessing our Secret Santa and had a $5 grab bag (white elephant) exchange along with lots of wine!

Kailee and Mason checking out the tree before bed (And again, our last function to have to find babysitters for!!!!)

And lastly two videos....

This is from a few weeks ago at soccer practice...Hailey's first goal captured on film!!! Make sure your volume is low...apparently I am going to be one of "those" moms! :) After she scored she came up to me and high fived and then asked if we could go home!

Kailee blowing her nose! :)
