Jubis manis

Haley did her nails yesterday.  And today in the car I kept smelling something (like markers??) suddenly I realized it was nail polish. She was painting g's nails ink the car. 😳

It was so funny. He wanted her to paint finger and toenails. And he was pretty encouraging. They were being so sweet to each other. 

Lego whiz

🎄 Christmas crack

F I N A L L Y!!

Gingerbread party

The kids had such fun at Maggie's. We all enjoyed it. 

The vast majority of the houses collapsed before making it home but it was still fun.  

G finished quickly and then decided to eat his.. He took a few bites and was then content to throw his creation in the trash. His is to the left of jubis. 

I love the way her jaw protrudes when she's focusing. 

She worked intently for much longer than everyone. We did have a crumble that slowed her down.  She used  pat uh wins

(Patterns) with her candy embellishments.  Love her. 

Notice Revekah's boots on J. This pic was right before they agreed to go in Jeremy's shelter.  And that led to me lifting the 95# door. Ouch. 

So glad we went. And thankful AZ napped at Grammys. 😉

Foxy hat

He wasn't fussing about wearing the hat ..he wore longer than any other hat. 

Locs🎄

Sweet, sweet mrs. Mansell. So thankful for the way she invests in my boy. She encourages me too.  She went to the car to help load up Monstro- we are babysitting him for the 🎄 break. 

Sweet boy worked so hard on this for me. 

I sent this to mrs. Mansell so she'd know who was picking up g after the service. 

We ended up staying til the end before heading to the prov 🎄 party. Funny thing was- the guy sitting next to dad--- we met him and his wife at the prov party.  He was so enamored with the fact that he'd been sitting next to my dad.. Johnny gimbles son at the service.. 😂🎻

Ding dong merrily on high! It took some restraint to not applaud.  They were so precious! 

Silent night in sign language. 

Doing spelling corrections for the last time this year. 

Sending the president off for his last day of school for the year. 

He wore the full suit. And tie to school last week. His classmates started calling him the professor and by the end of the day they were referring to him as the president. 

The class sang oh come all ye faithful in Latin? Maybe it was Spanish...😜

And away in a manger in a foreign language too. Impressive. 

G only wanted to take a pic and not play corn holer.  So thankful for how sweet and mild mannered he is. It's funny, we've had conversations about how he saves/ uses his best behavior for school. He's really so good there. Several of his piers were running wildly during he party and going nutzo during their singing time. 

G got this flying launch able saucer that lights up in the dark. 

AZ had fun watching it. And go was so sweet to give jubi turns. They didn't completely get along with the whole thing but good enough. 

Sooooo thankful for this break! And excited to surprise the kids about the venables being here. 😊❤️👏🎉🙏

FUMC nativity service

AZ was pretty darn good for the service. He enjoyed walking around. 

I'm not sure if jubi sang a word- although she knew every one! 

So funny. Jubi was batting her eyes while  Jackson's crew and I snapped a pic. 

Aspens last day. I taught swim lessons with her mommy 19 years ago. 

I almost Cried when mrs. Munoz pulled these out. 
Jubi adores mrs. Bell. It's so funny how opinions change. She was apprehensive about her last year and at the start of this year. 

Sweet mrs. Holmes. Jubi is finally not biting her lollipops. Interested to see how our dentist visit turns out in feb. 

Baby Jesus ornament! 

Savoring the moment.

How many more times we will get to do this. Sweet baby boy. 

Snuggles in our chair. 

Roy  decided it was time for Aubrey to experience peppermint bark.  He's a fan.  

Daddy's narnia.

Goodness gracious... Gabriel was listening so intently.  Hanging on Roy's every word.  It was a beautiful, wonderful moment.  

Our Christmas books are in storage, so roy started  telling them the lion, the witch (white queen) & the wardrobe. 

Jr. District clerk
