Christmas happenings

We are right in the middle of all our Christmas activities right now.  Parties, performances, and family are keeping us busy.  This past weekend Jimmy's mom and grandma we able to spend the weekend with us and we exchanged gifts with them.  They were also able to attend church with us and watch the kids perform in the church Christmas program.  I was so proud of Caden and Paige up there singing to The Lord.  They both did a great job and they really enjoyed it.  

One of the gifts Paige got was a Fun Loom.  It says it is for 8yrs and up, but she really got the hang of it and has been making bracelets ever since.  No joke I think she has made 20 of them since Saturday.  Lol.  She wore about 5 of them to school today and came home with requests from her friends and she is hard at work making them now.  

Yesterday was also my dad's birthday and we celebrated it a little early Sunday at my house.  I made fried backstrap, mashed potatoes, and homemade gravy.  Can you say yum?!  It is not something we have often, but I like to make something he likes and this is it!  We had cake and sang.  He really is a great dad and pawpaw.  We had a great time celebrating with him.

Monday night Paige had Christmas night at dance.  Nothing really fancy, they can wear Christmas attire and the parents get to go into class and watch them perform.  She is still loving dance and I really enjoy watching her blossom in class.  

I know this post is very random and long, but at least now I am caught up!  Onto the next Christmas activity!
