The big girls performed in their Christmas "play" last Sunday. Their part was singing "Away in a manger" which we had been working on memorizing since Halloween. The May pre-recorded saying Luke 2 8-14 before the play. I have to say I was amazed at how well she memorized it. Thanks to "Charlie Brown Christmas" and especially to Linus for all the help! The highlight of the night was when The Belle gently pushed The May out of the way so she could sing directly into the microphone! Oh, and when Jude (a wise man) tripped over a cable and fell face first onto the stage (thankfully he was not hurt and hopefully he wont be mad at his entire family for laughing hysterically when he watches it on video in years to come)! The Lynn waved wildly at her sisters and cousins throughout the performance.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ok, so I am really behind. That seems to be the new norm in my life. 19 days until Christmas and I have bought 3 gifts. The Lynn turns 2 in 14 days and I have not sent out the first birthday invitaion. Nor, have I sent out the first Christmas card (although I have bought the girls dresses for the picture). We got our tree up on Saturday and there is one strand of lights on it.....not a single ornament. I haven't folded a single piece of clothing since we have gotten back from Disney. That's right we went to Disney for Thanksgiving with Nana and Papa and haven't blogged a single picture. So, what have I been doing? Trying to survive. You know the typical everyday chores....take The Belle to school, groceries,laundry, dishes, lunch, take people to the bathroom (yep The Lynn is potty trained!), pick The Belle up from school, homework, dinner, bath, bed, and then start all over again.

The Pre-K, K-5, 1st grade, and 5th grade had a Thanksgiving feast at school. The Belle made the cuteset pilgrim I have ever seen! Husband and I both went and it was so much fun. The girls have their Christmas program at church this Sunday. Hopefully, I can post some pictures of that before New Year's.....but don't hold your breath!
