My little Christmas buddy

Day twenty

Day twenty was warm here in Iowa (in the low 30s), so we bundled up the girls and played in the snow.  Danny and Kelsey pulled them on the sleds to our park and they went sledding while I stayed home with Josiah who was napping.

  The girls had a blast... so did Kelsey and Danny.  

 SNOW ANGELS

When the kids got home, I had hot chocolate and warm chocolate chip cookies waiting for them!  

What a mom!

Days eighteen and nineteen

Days Eighteen and Nineteen were the dress rehearsal and performance of Joy Story at church.  Grace had to wear her lion costume and sing in the show.  The preschool choir dressed as animals and they came out of the ark to sing a special song.  Grace did a great job... we didn't get pictures, but we did get a video.  Hopefully, we will get to load that soon!

Day Seventeen

We had a great outing today to the Playground for Kids in Ankeny... aka The Bouncy House!  I am never brave enough to take all of the kids there by myself, so it was fun to go there with Kelsey.  Not only did she help me keep track of the girls, but she also went on all of the inflatables WITH them!  She is a big kid herself... I am not sure who had more fun Kelsey or my girls! :) We were very impressed with Hannah... she was able to do EVERYTHING her self.  She climbed up all of the structures and went down every slide --- WHAT A LITTLE MONKEY!

Day sixteen

Day sixteen brought a very special gift to us... KELSEY!  Our KA KA is here!  The girls were SO EXCITED to see her and it was great to introduce her to Josiah!
