Catch up time Again...

Weeks ago{just before Thanksgiving break} we went to an Eagles Hockey game. It was scout night so the tickets were discounted for scouts in uniform. All three of my kids put on their uniforms and we headed to the ice rink. Scouts got a 'behind' the scenses tour then we grabbed dinner and found out seats.

 We watched the players warm up on the rink...Andon's eyes were glued to the rink, watching and learning their every move. Dad showed up just as the puck dropped on the ice{he had to work late}. He brought ear plugs for Devin since the buzzer bothers him.

 The kids got Mega phones and Kendall asked me if it was ok to shout "go Bronco"...Yum...NO! We are at an Eagles game NOT a Broncos game. So she shouted "go Eagles, go Eagles, go Eagles"

Eagles won again 6-3!!

Dec. 2 I took Kendall to Nutcraker with a Twist, it is preformed by Mountain Center gymnastics, my parents were in town so afterwards we stopped by their Hotel. Since it was snowing, we just stayed overnight. 

December 3 I woke up early, drove in the snow to put up signs around town for the Craft Fair, picked up coffees, changed clothes and headed to Andon's Reconciliation {peaceful...Kendall stayed with my mom and dad} After, we meet them at Red Robin, the boys went home and the girls did a little shopping. Ran into Liza at Old Navy and made plans for the Parade of Lights that evening...

 The decorated tree, the kids oranments are taking over my tree...but I love it that way! We even have three santa letters on the tree...I hope Santa remembers to take them, read them and leave a message in return for those three kids while he drops off gifts...

Stockings are hung on the staircase

I made the 4 before Kendall was born and still have not made one for her, I am sure she does not mind since her's is more girlie then ours

 Pinterest is consuming my time...AHHHHH!! I found this idea on there and it only took 5 minutes to make, the longest time was waiting for the paint to dry. I since added silver glitter to the clothes pins to add some sparkle to the line.

 Preschool project

 Parent gifts, I sewed the top under, inserted a wooden dowel and tied a ribbon on the dowel for hanging.

Just two of the many crafts we have been doing...gingerbread house with graham crackers, candy cane bead patterns, paper gingerbreads, cotton ball stocking, mint measuring-used mints to measure objects, count down to Christmas number practice page...on and on...I love this time of year, I have so many fun kids crafts, we hardly put a dent in them :(

Following weekend-December 10- Kendall had a self defence class with Girl Scouts

RIGHT after class, I met Kendall and dad at Subway and we swapped kids {I hung out with the boys during the morning doing crafts, they made a mini art easel out of wooden dowels then we went to lunch at Camachos-I was on a double date with two boys ;)..}

Kendall and I headed to the Loveland Event Center for a Girl Scout Holiday Tea! We sang Christmas songs, talked, had finger foods and hot tea then ended the afternoon with a few oranment crafts. The camera was left with Deon so I got NO pictures :( 

I fed the kids a quick dinner and we were off AGAIN...this time the kids went to Xtreme gym while Deon and I headed to the Mall, had dinner and did a little shopping....Let's just say we needed some alone adult time....

We had a scout pack Christmas meeting last night, boys got some awards, played games and exchanged neck tie slides...I was in charge of the cake walk..it was a fun time! Dad took K  shopping..

Seems like there are lots of shopping outings in the post.. hmmm....

My family is heading out to visit us this weekend, ice skating, Santa visit, early Christamas dinner and gifts then skiing on Sunday!
