The girls get to have a sleepover in our room one night per weekend.  They love it, and we do too!  Hearing them breathe throughout the night is so comforting!  Noelle got bonked in the face at school with a building block last week, so she’s had a nasty bruise on her face this week.  She said the little girl that did it apologized 5 times!  Every time someone asked what happened to her face she makes sure they know she apologized 5 times… it’s pretty cute!

Here’s Anna Kate sleeping with the velveteen rabbit Aunt Jojo gave us, and Bo, her whale pillow pet.

                        

Saturday night Mike and I went to his company Christmas party.  It was fun getting all fancied up, but we didn’t get a picture… Rara took the big girls to Caidyn’s birthday party and Aunt Sharon kept baby Rose.  It was a lovely night out!

Here’s the girls with the birthday girl, Caidyn, and her little sister, Carson.  They had a blast at Caidyn’s cupcake party at ASI!

Anna Kate is SO silly… she looks just like our scarecrow in this picture.  I know that sounds weird, but I’ll take a picture of Walter so that you can see what I mean.  One day one of our friends said, “Your scarecrow looks freakishly like your middle daughter.”  I thought it was a really weird thing to say, but now I totally get it.  You will too.  Add that to the list of things to do.  Ha!

When Rara’s in town, the girls get spoiled.  A hot breakfast is her specialty.  She has so much energy to spare and love to share.  Sadly, I got a horrible stomach bug this week, but Rara got to stay and help (thank God).  I couldn’t even get out of bed… it was bad!

Here’s the breakfast line-up!

During the rainy down-time, Noelle drew some maps.  This is a map of how to get to her friends, Ainsley, Sydney, and Colbey’s house.  It is a few doors down so she drew arrows in between the houses to show how to get there!

This is a map of her school!  I love the “Jri Froo!” (Drive-thru)
