Too rainy to get our Christmas tree. This morning I finally got all my dishes unpacked and cleaned. I love my new dishes, here is a pic:
Hard to see in the pic but you get the point. The kids played this morning, did puzzles, the kids talked to grandma/pa to wish them a Happy Hanukkah and Happy Anniversary. Nicole sang lots of songs to grandma/pa. We finally got out of the house and ran to our favorite sandwich place for lunch (Lil Pickle). Then we headed to the Newport Beach library for a puppet show. This library is so cool. They have so much more than our library. Justin watched a cars thing on the computer and Nikki did all the puzzles. We read a few books and then headed to the puppet show. Mikey, Katie, and Sarah were there as well. The puppet show was so cute. The kids were laughing and they seemed to really enjoy it. They liked when the panda puppet popped up and then hid. Also the part when the Panda tried to put up the tree and it kept falling on him. Bret found an article about his mom’s neighborhood, Sherwood Country Club Estates when it was originally built priced from $32,500-$33,700 from 2515 to 2585 sq ft, crazy. Pretty cool to have found. After we ran to the mall. I know crazy this soon before Christmas. It was a little crazy but we weren’t there too long. We came home and since it was so rainy and gloomy. We turned on the fire place and made cut out sugar cookies. We had fun-the kids made all dif’t Hanukkah and X-mas shapes. I have never seen so many sprinkles end up on a cookie. It was fun family time. Then we went and got a pizza for dinner. Poor Zoe every time we are outside it starts to rain. I did get a good few minutes on the greenbelt so she could fetch the ball. After dinner the kids glued some paper cars on paper and colored. Then we let them watch some TV. I brought the street carper thing up to Justin’s room so he was so happy playing with his cars in his room. The kids are definitely loving having their own stuff, even their own books. We read some books and said goodnight. We are all going to miss having Zoe here-she is such a great sweet dog. Justin is sleeping with his big floppy dog and little dog. Nicole and Justin were zurburting our bellies tonight-getting us back, Justin was laughing so hard.
