Christmas Eve is here! The kids are so excited and can’t wait for Santa to come!
Mackenzie and Gavin both had Christmas programs for their school. We went to Gavin’s but were asked not to take any pictures using a flash. At least we got it recorded with the camcorder! He did a great job and looked adorable! Mackenzie was so funny. I had her hair all done up and at the last minute she had a total meltdown because she said with the santa hat on, she would look like a boy. So after 30 minutes of crying and fighting, we took her hair down and brushed it out. And she was happy!
We had the Anderson Christmas party last weekend. We had lots of good food and fun games.The kids always have so much fun together! It was a great day- until Avery spilled bright blue fingernail polish on Mark and Sherin’s carpet that is…
We went to Layton yesterday and had a little Christmas party with Dallas’s family and the kids got spoiled rotten as usual. Avery came home with 13 chapsticks and Santa hasn’t even come yet! She also got a bunch of art stuff, a cute hat, and a little bowling game. Gavin came home with a movie, a little guitr, a firetruck, a nerf gun, and some skylander video-game accessories. Mackenzie came home with a ton of art stuff, a cookie/cupcake maker, some bath stuff, and a very cute pillow. It was good to be able to see everyone!
We have had a room-mate for the month of December. Meet Fred Barry Elfman.. He is one of Santa’s elves. Santa sent him to stay here to help remind the kids to be good. His job is to watch the kids and report back to Santa. I need to have a talk with Santa though because he sent us a naughty elf! I think he must be really excited for Christmas because at first, he did a good job of just hiding in different spots in the house and watching the kids. But- the last week he has been causing all sorts of mischief.
He made himself a ladder and painted a Christmas tree on the wall in my living room, He made snowmen out of marshmallows, and today when we woke up we saw that he had toilet-papered the kitchen and had gotten stuck in a roll of toilet paper. I will be glad when he goes back to the North Pole!
The kids did see santa the other night and I had taken my camera to take some pictures but my battery was at home in the charger so the camera didn’t do me any good! Avery has been asking for the same thing for months and has not changed her mind once. She wants chapstick, a candy spider (WHAT??) and a drinking baby… Mackenzie wants a kindle, a sock monkey, and a webkinz. For a long time, Gavin didn’t ask for anything. He didn’t know what he wanted. The last few days though, he has asked for a dsi, a new ipod, an x-box 360, and the skylander game.. hmmm… I guess we will have to see what comes!
Eyeballs and Mummies for dinner!
