Life goes on, but we will never forget the victims of the CT shooting.
I am going to do a recap of our last weekend.
It was our first time to keep Soliana overnight without her parents
We drove to Oshkosh on Friday afternoon to pick up the girls and bring them to Watertown. We dropped Paul off at Courtney's craft show in Madison and headed home with our little ones in tow.
Alissa and Nathan were here for the weekend and we all enjoyed Little Ceasar's pizza for dinner that night.
Both girls went to bed very nicely on Friday night.
I slept with the girls in our king bed and John slept on the futon in the guest room.
Here is proof that we actually did sleep.
We were up early on Saturday morning and started out by baking Tizita's birthday cake.
Gigi helped her frost the cake.
After the cake baking, we frosted Christmas cookies.
And of course, there were dishes that needed to be done after all the baking and frosting.
Tiz was more than willing to do those dishes.
After all that work, we decided it was time to open a gift.
I bought this leapster and ten games from an online rummage sale with a bunch of friends on FB.
The whole deal only cost me $25.00 and Tiz was thrilled to have her own Leapster.
Mallory joined us on Saturday afternoon.
She had a birthday on Dec. 13, so she had a goody box to open.
Both birthday girls enjoyed some time together.
Gigi brought out her gift in this large bag.
It was full of teacher supplies for Tiz when she plays school.
She was thrilled with all the new stuff.
Of course, she had to conduct class right then and there.
Grandpa was her wall holding up the pocket chart for her.
This is the cute outfit I bought for her birthday.
Here she is ready to put on a magic show.
John and I bought her a magic kit and we had spent the afternoon learning how to do a few tricks.
She did a great job entertaining all of us and I think she actually stumped a few people with her magic.
Posing after dinner on Saturday night with Lis and Cheddah.
Courtney and Paul returned about 7:00 and joined in the fun.
On Sunday morning after my Christmas program, we had chicken and ham.
Tiz had requested meat she could eat off a bone, so that is what she got.
Here she is with her birthday cake.
So proud of my big six year old.
She did talk while eating her cake so she had to sit under the table and finish eating her piece of cake. She has now joined the ranks of the best of us who have had to sit under the table at one time or another.
It was a wonderful weekend.
So much time to be with Tiz and Soli.
I did not want to forget to post a picture of my students during the Christmas program.
The did an awesome job and I was one proud teacher.
Below are my four and fives. They sat alone up on the altar and did fine.
And these are my threes who sat in pews but turned around, kneeled and sang. They, too, did a fine job.
And here is the whole group including the K-2 grade singing our favorite, "Go Tell it on the Mountain."
I hope all of you had a great weekend, too.
