This first video is from gymnastics last week. The row of kids lining up in front of me is Clara's class. She finally files in way on the left next to her look-alike friend. They do a little send-off song after their class is done.
In the back you see Brynn's class (she is in the blue leotard) running around doing a game of cartwheel tag.
Last Friday we headed to the mall to visit Santa. He was very nice and jolly. Brynn asked for a dog, basketball hoop and I think like two or three other things! Clara asked for a Peppa Pig set.
On Saturday we went to St. Cloud to celebrate my cousin Tammy's 50th birthday. It was so fun getting together with my cousins. Grandma D even made the trip from Harvey. So, we had to get a picture of us girls together.
Birthday Girl!
We stayed the night at our friends' house in Sartell on Saturday night and I don't think Rumpelstiltskin got much sleep. She was like this most of the way home and once we got home at about 3:30 in the afternoon on Sunday, she crawled into bed and fell asleep...and didn't get up until I woke her for school the next morning at 7:00. (She did get up in the middle of the night to change into her PJs and then again when she heard a loud noise. When she came into our room to ask what the noise was, she said she was hungry - which is what I was afraid would happen since I didn't wake her for supper. So I told her to get a bowl of cereal and then go back to bed. She must have been more tired than hungry because she just ended up going right back to bed). She was so well-rested and got right out of bed that morning. It was amazing. I was worried she was coming down with a bug or something, so I kept checking on her and in the morning when I was waking her, I asked her if she was ok to which she replied, "yeah. I was just tired." I guess so!
Clara's drawing. I think She is the larger figure and I am next to her. I asked her why she was frowning and she said she didn't mean to draw it that way. I also asked her what the blue circle around her was and she said, "it's the night around me." :-) Love it.
On Tuesday night was Brynn's school holiday program. The kids all sounded great.
(Brynn is in the middle bottom in the black dress.)
Another session of swimming lessons ended on Wednesday. Brynn is going to take a break this next session. She did not pass her level yet again to which I think she has been getting disgruntled that she isn't moving on as quickly as she would like. Clara is going for another round of level one. So, Brynn and I will watch her.
Thursday was both girls' Christmas program at HopeKids. Most of the kids were stable animals and Brynn was excited to play the part of Mary. Clara is the piggy in the middle. :-) The girls were excited that BOTH sets of grandparents came to watch them! Thanks for coming, guys!
We have a big Christmaspalooza weekend planned this weekend with cookie baking, pulling sleds behind the four-wheeler, gift-wrapping, ornament-making and possibly doing our holiday lights tour. Hopefully I will have a bunch of pics to post after the weekend. Brynn said tonight, 'good thing we have two days to do it all!' We might need more than that. ;-) They watched 'The Polar Express' for movie night tonight.
