Last Weekend

So remember last weekend, when K got baptized, and I said it was a crazy weekend, well, here was the rest of it...

We went to the Braille Institute for their Christmas.  They had it set up so cute with little stations all over the place.  There were games and prizes and even Santa.  This Santa was blind so it was an interesting experience for the girls.  :-)


The music station.


K was thrilled about this pic!


Book reading.  We traveled in small groups so I actually got to know a couple of other moms.  It was nice.


And Em finally started opening up.



And then there was Dad's work party.



K was in the back and Em was looking up her background information on the computer.


This year, the girls decided they wanted to be cheetahs.







Yes, K finally grew again...six weeks ago, at Em's birthday, they were only an inch apart in height.


Santa came in a firetruck escorted by a cruiser.








I told them to look at Daddy with mad face...Em can't stay serious for a microsecond.





They were so cute waiting for their presents...it took forever!  Even I got impatient.  There were a lot of kids there and the girls ended up as the very last presents under the tree.  But they were so patient, I had no choice but to be proud of them.



They do fit better than that, I just wasn't about to jam them on their heads with all that face paint about to transfer onto the hat.


And then they yanked them down so they could pretend to be monkeys...


It was so cute, I guess Em told Santa she wanted a Robin Hood toy and so when she got the monkey hat, she was totally disappointed and started to cry.  She kept telling me that she told Santa what she wanted but he didn't give it to her.  We had a little talk about Santa, but she still doesn't believe me.  

Merry Christmas!
