Let the crazies begin...

Well..it already did. Last week was Thanksgiving, which was lovely, but also the kickoff to the month of holiday crazy you know:)

It actually started for us on the 21st with the Girl Scout sleepover at school which involved the three White girls, dad got to stay home..alone..woohoo! Lexi was the only one who got to sleepover as K-2 only stay until 10 pm(which is...I mean was-gulp-heavenly). But that meant that neither White girl under 10 got a good night's sleep and were cranky all weekend. Then we had short two days of school.

Wed. we went with Papa and bought a tree to take up to the cabin for Christmas. The girls also picked out a spot for the tree house Papa wants to build and then we played Monopoly, ate dinner, played more and went to bed.

We got up early Thur. and drove home and showered up and then went to Nana and Papa's for dinner. Uncle Hung and Auntie Van were there and a wonderful meal(thanks mom) and good time was had by all. Then over to Hooks for pie and cards! An annual tradition that this year included the girls!!!!! They played cards and did quite well for their first games of Nertz ever!

The girls got to spend the night at N&P's so we could get up early and rearrange the house! Which we did!!!!!! We moved the girls back into their own rooms and us back into ours. And rearranged the living room for the tree and decorations to boot! It has worked out well...the girls are still deciding where to put everything and we are still going through the mountain of laundry but that is about it. They spent the night again so the dust could settle and we could do the finishing touches and tackle the mountain and that was nice.

We finally picked up the girls after dinner on Sat and then they came home and decorated the tree and living room. They did a phenomenal job:) Just shows how fast they are growing up....too fast for me some days!

And now we are into December.......
The girls have rehearsal tonight for the Christmas program at Church which is in two weeks. This weekend is the holiday party for Brownies.We have regular meetings for GS for both girls too. Plus the holiday concerts and parties at school, Santa Lucia, and final projects at CCL...and I am sure some things I am missing too.

Anyway-hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Blog ya later-
