Ornaments

I love love love ornaments the kids make at school and bring home!

Gingerbread Party

Sarah and her kiddos are in town from Canada (yay!!!) so tonight we had 9 (NINE!!!) kids over and decorated gingerbread houses.

House of Blues

Tonight I took Shelby to the House of Blues for her all time favorite singer, Cher Lloyd. We also were able to see Midnight Red, Zendeya and Emblem3. I'm so glad we had seats in the balcony since she is still in strep throat recovery mode. She doesn't have a ton of energy right now. She was asleep before we got out of downtown Houston tonight.

Christmas Pageant

I have yet to download photos from the regular camera but found these on my phone this morning. This year for the church Christmas Pageant Shelby was a prophet. No more being an angel for her. Tucker was a shepherd and as usual wanted to quit at practice because he didn't want to practice. I know most parents would encourage their kids to participate but I clearly told Tucker to not sign up because we go through this every year and it's meltdown central. What did he do? He signed up when I wasn't looking. I'm just glad he stuck it out.

Tucker's Christmas Gifts to Friends

Not as creative as Shelby's but Christmas party favors are always a hit. Note to self, do not by glitter tags ever again. It does not come off the skin!!! Eeeeek!!

Shelby's Christmas Gifts to Friends

50 rainbow loom ornaments.

Urgent Care

Nothing like spending our Sunday at urgent care. My poor baby. I will need to bathe in Lysol after this.

Elf Impersonator

This past Thursday was the 4th grade musical. Shelby had quite a few lines and was an elf. I think she was a Dutch elf or something because the costumes were...umm...Dutch looking. LOL As usual it was a super cute performance. The always were decorated with art work from all the kids and this is a self drawing of Shelby singing. Hahahaha!

Tucker and the snow hill

Shelby and the snow hill

The kid city winter festival had a snow hill and the kids had been waiting for 2 months for this thing. I guess I was expecting a lot more but this is I guess what you get when you have to order snow off a truck. I told the kids when we go to Colorado for spring break it'll be 10000000x better since it'll be real snow and real hills.

Volleyball practice - Winter Season

Winter ball started for volleyball. Finally a sport Shelby loves! I'm certain it's because she has such a great coach. We got the same coach as Fall ball. Hopefully she doesn't break anything and have to sit out 1/2 the season like last season.
