First published Story

When we were at the school for the Santa Workshop we went over and read Tyler's story. He was so excited to write he first story. I loved his cute tree. He always says he is not a very good artist, but there is his picture proving other wise. In the other picture Tyler is standing by there school Christmas tree. All the classes made there one ornaments for the tree. They had a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. There is a talent show tomorrow. Tyler is singing two Christmas songs with his class. Also they get to watch a movie and have a Christmas party. The is excited for tomorrow then his Christmas break. He keeps telling me it is 18 days, but I don't believe him.

Santa's Workshop

We went to the Santa Workshop at the school on Saturday. They made a craft with "GLITTER GLUE" (NOT MY FAVORITE STUFF, if you read further in my blog you will know what I'm talking about) I think Adele's glue is still not dry. I put them in the back of the van and forgot about then. They decorated cookies. Adele gave hers to Santa, so they let her make another one. Then they did a coloring page. Tyler colored his them made an airplane out of it. When Tyler wrote his letter to Santa earlier this month he said I would like a surprise. When he visited with Santa Saturday he said he wanted a Wii, a Webkin or a four wheeler, not exactly sure what came over him this month. The kids had fun and I was glad for something to do with them on a Saturday afternoon. We also went to the free movie with our friends. It was Madagascar in to Africa. It was ok. I was glad my kids did not understand all the adult humor.

Christmas Houses

Tyler took this picture of the Pumpkin Bread I made for neighbor. I thought is was a cute picture with the buildings in the background. I have three Christmas houses, One is a greenhouse from my mother in in-law. I used to work at a green house and I took greenhouse classes at Ricks. The other is a Flower Shop. I bought this one because I have a degree in floral management, and have my own wedding flower business in my home. The third building is a wood working shop. Cam mom got is because the Fall before we were married Cam was making picture frames with his friend Dewight and really enjoyed it.

Our Bird House

I was working on some Christmas tag, and went to the computer. When I turned around Tate had lined up all the "Christmas Cardinal" birds and was trying to feed them. Then he suck his tummy out to show the birds he could look like them. It was pretty fun to watch him. Much more interesting then what I was looking at on the computer (no offense I was not looking at anybodies blog), but I seem to give my computer more attention some times.

A Big reason Grace is Amazing

The Kids brought there Santa letters to the Post Office. In a week or so they will get a personal letter back from Santa. This is the third time we have sent letters to Santa. Each time they have gotten a letter asking if they have helped Grandpa feed the cows, and things like that. It is so great to live in a place where the people care so much about each other and are so giving and considerate. Grateful to those people who make my kids feel so important and special!!!!!
