Christmas Is Coming!

This week was full of fun. We are also gearing up for Christmas. Our tree is up and the stockings are hung on the stairs with care. Here are three vignettes of the week (pretty big word right?)

First we were able to attend the local university's basketball game. Ellie and Caleb were the two that were most inthralled. Caleb starred at the court for quite awhile, and Ellie was determined to stay and see the ending even though it was like 9pm on a school night. It was a close game and our team won by just a couple of points! The other two girls had fun running in circles around the arena and giving the mascot high fives!

Then this weekend Ellie sang in her elementary school choir at the local Christmas festival. She did a great job, and loves....LOVES....to sing. We also got to run through a bounce house and take a ride on a trailer pulled by a tractor around the huge fields of the area. Ellie is the person in the center of the movie.





But, my favorite time at the Christmas festival was getting free cotton candy from the booth serving the stuff. The machine making the cotton candy was in the back corner of the booth and the girls and I would stand about 10 feet back from the machine and watch little wisps of cotton candy float out. They would run and grab the floating candy, and race back to get some more. It was great to watch!

Merry Christmas!
