Today the girls got to go to the movies as part of their afternoon at school! They saw Santa Claus 3. Makenzie wasn't that impressed and told the teacher it was an adult movie and she didn't like it. She told me it was a little scary. She didn't like Jack Frost being mean to Santa...

This weekend our chruch did a drama and it was the nativity story from the animals perspecitve! It was awesome! It was so funny & yet still told the story beautifully! And then I found out our preacher wrote it and the last song sung (which was incredible and sung by a girl that sounded like an angel) was written by our youth pastor! The solo's were wonderful and the whole choir did fabulous! Poppy even was the grandpa in the beginning of the story! Karsten was hollering out "That my Poppy!" and "Hi Nanny" (she was in the choir) so after we got him settled down he and the rest of us really enjoyed it!

We finally got a few lights up yesterday! Our icicles from last year got broken in the high winds we had last year, so the Grinch (Daddy!) thought we should just take a year off...Makenzie and Mommy couldn't stand it and so we now have a giant light bulb walkway up to the house & 3 tiny lighted trees in the front yard! Surprize Daddy!

After a long day, when you're so tired you can hardly see straight...this is why it's all worth it...tonight when putting Karsten down for bed, he kissed me and I said Does Mommy get more kisses? and he just smiled this sweet sleepy smile and his eyes lit up and he put his hands on the sides of my faces and said Of course Mommy! I love you Mommy! and proceeded to give me several more kisses!!!! Tooooooo precious! I love that little boy! And my precious girls too! And even my very own sweet Grinch!
