We started off the festivities at Kate’s Girl Scout Holiday Party where they learned how to Fence!
They even got to wear the awesome fencing outfit.
Showing off her new look.
Here we go.
The girls watched the women instructors fence!
On Christmas Eve, Gommie & Bob came up to our house for Fondue dinner in front of the fire. The kids decorated Gingerbread Houses.
All fun….until Harry got involved.
Christmas morning….checking out what Santa left.
Will gets special Hundreds pens in his stocking.
Kate got a pipe cleaner kit to make a Sea Turtle.
Then we were off to Gramps & Nana’s for dinner and presents.
Tuesday night….Kate and I had a very special night off to see Wicked. Kate has been listening to the music for years and has always wanted to go. She was the perfect age. She loved every minute of it….sitting on the edge of her seat. We waited by the stage door to see the stars come out. We HAD TO wait to see Glinda and Elphaba! Here is Kate with Glinda!
Then Elphaba….you can still see some of the green makeup on her hands.
They were all so sweet to Kate. This was HUGE for her. She has listened to the music non-stop ever since.
New Years morning I made my Grandfather’s Popovers. Thanks to tips from my brother….we got them pretty big and fluffy this time! We had a nice lazy New Year’s Day! Its all flying by so fast. Now Kate and I are working on getting all of the pink out of Kate’s room….she is ready for a change. Will is in Palm Desert with Gramps & Nana…..golfing with Gramps!
