Birthday Adventures And The Bees....

It has been a really nice week. My Mom came down on Tuesday to babysit the kids, so I could go out for my Birthday--yes, I'm old... The kids finished the present that they had been making me (with Nana's help). They were very cute Christmas Decorations-- A Santa House and A Beautiful Christmas Tree. They did a great job!!! Sheila took me out to a nice restaurant--I actually felt like a grownup.... She surprised me, by taking me to the restaurant where we met 8 years ago-- very sweet. We had a nice dinner and, apparently, way too much wine-- we both woke up with a bit of a hangover the next morning!!

On Wednesday, Little A had her Christmas party at school. This year, the teachers have really thrown some good holiday parties. The parents, of course, pay for them, but the teachers have really put an effort to making the parties very fun.

Then, on Thursday night, Big A and D had a Holiday Program at school!!! Originally, Big A had a speaking part in the play, but at the last minute the music teacher decided to eliminate all of the speaking parts and just have the children sing. I guess the kids just weren't learning their parts. Big A was not happy about this change-- she said she knew her part, and it wasn't fair that she couldn't say it... I told her there would be plenty of other school plays for her to speak in. She still pitched one of her infamous fits... But in the end, I think she enjoyed being in the show anyway. Both D and Big A did great!!! They looked so cute in their little bee costumes!!

Below are some photos of our week...
