We've had unusually warm weather for December this week. The high's have been in the 50's or 60's and it's which is crazy warm for this time of year.
The kids have been playing outside on the trampoline quite a bit, especially Taylor and his friends. It's great because it gets all their energy out!
Danny has been in China this week, he will get home in 5 days, he's there for a total of 11 days. It's been hard to have him gone. We all really miss him. But Lizzie especially misses him, she says everyday over and over and over
"I miss my daddy; I want me daddy, I need my daddy" She will exstatic when he comes home on Friday and so will I !

Emily had her "101 Dalmations" 3rd Grade play this week. It was such a cute play and all the kids did great! We had fun going to see Emily and hear the fun songs, and see the costumes etc... She had a lot of fun and got really animated at the play.

Taylor performed with the school orchestra at the Festival of Trees. He plays the cello this year and he played great! There are only 3 celloists in the orchestra so they had a lot to play. Lizzie and I had fun going to the festival and seeing them perform.

We had Monica's girls over for dinner and a movie night on Friday night. They are so cute and we had a blast with them. Hannah is basically a celebrity in our house right now. All the kids adore her!

Saturday we kept busy by going to a trampoline jumping place with all the kids and a few friends. The kids ran, and jumped & played for 2 hours. They all left tired, sweaty and hot! It was the perfect outing for a Saturday without Danny in town.

Sunday night we had a yummy dinner at mom's house and then decorated Gingerbread houses with all the kids!  All the kids got really invovled and wanted to make their just perfect. We all ate too much candy and had fun too!

We love this time of year, there are so many wonderful activities! We are counting down the days until Christmas!
