The Holidays are Here!

The house is decorated, presents purchased (and some even wrapped!) and Scout, our Christmas Elf is back! The kids wake up every morning ready to look for Scout and he is in a new and fun spot every day! And to top of the holiday season, now Santa has been seen as well! We attempted to go to Bass Pro, but Santa had not yet arrived and the wait was already 2 hours! Instead we tracked him down at Va Center and the kids had a nice long chat with Old St. Nick about how good they've been. Ri asked for new markers and Kyle would like more cars!

Last weekend we went to see a great production of the Velveteen Rabbit - the kids loved it (as did I!) You can see the set behind the kids below - beautiful show!

We have also been getting into the holiday spirit by making lots of goodies to share with our friends as well as cinnamon ornaments, which the kids are decorating below.

Riley is still loving gymnastics and Daisys! She looks forward to each weekly - and our group of Daisy's are wonderful! This past week we began our partnership with the Richmond Ronald McDonald House. A few of us moms had already visited to determine the best way our girls could help. This 1st visit for the girls consisted of a tour and a better understanding of what the RM House is there for, deliver of some of the RM House 'wish list' items, dumping of all the Pop Tops we've collected so far (please collect for us - the girls are soooo thrilled to bring as many as possible!) and a craft to leave at the house to help decorate the house for the holidays!

Our craft (finger print trees)!

We hope everyone is enjoying the season!
