MWCC Holiday Party

It was amazing!  The entire Mom's with Children from China group made the holiday party this year.  It was soooo nice to everyone together.  The kids are getting so big.  The weather was great so the kids got to be outside for a while and then we had our traditional potluck dinner. 

I put together a highlight video again so enjoy if you have the access.

A Christmas Carol

The school theater department put on "A Christmas Carol" tonight.  I generally take the girls to the shows at school and they always love going.  I was afraid Kailei might get scared but she was fine for the most part.  Of course at one point she grabbed my arm and when I looked at her she said, "I'm not scared, I'm just snuggling!"  Only she knows the truth.  :) 

Coodies

Shortly after Thanksgiving, we went down for the count.  I got sick on Sunday with the flu.  I NEVER get sick so you know it was bad.  Zeb got even sicker and then Keara got sick.  So not fun!  When both parents are out of commission it makes things hard.  Kailei just didn't understand and kept saying that all she wanted was a "friend to play with."  We have all had different versions of the illness so it has been weird.  Kailei was the last to get sick but she has more of a cough and congestion thing going on.  Anyway, I stayed home for two work days and I'm sooo behind.  This holiday is creeping up fast.  Keep your fingers crossed we don't get sick again. 

Kailei-ism's

So I was dancing with Kailei in the kitchen and out came the following...
"If you were in 6th grade, you'd never be getting to high school with those moves!"

-------------------------

At Kailei's Halloween party she did not want me to go so she said..."But wait Mom, I want to remember this moment forever."

-------------------------

"There was a bowl of candy on the porch but no note so I just took two. "

-------------------------  

Keara told Kailei she was Irish and Swedish. So Kailei told Keara she was Chinese and "Sweet-ish."

-------------------------
"Mom, do you ever just get the urge to rock-n-roll?"

-------------------------

On the night of the election, we were going around the table stating who we were voting for.  When it came to Kailei, she stated Romney.  I asked her what was her reasoning for voting for him and she said, "Well, he just kept calling the house a lot."   

Castlewood Canyon

The temperatures this week have been amazing.  Hard to believe we have been in the 60's and it is November.  Had to take advantage of it again and we headed down to Castlewood Canyon with the Wyman's for a hike today.  Loved it!

Beauty Lou and the Country Beast

The girls tried out for another Missoula Children's Show this week and they both made it!  They were thrilled and even more excited to be playing actually people instead of animals.  It makes for a crazy week with the rehearsals but it is always worth it.  Today the girls performed two shows and they did a great job.  It was even more exciting today because their cousins from Texas got to come.  Grammy, Aunt Jess, and Aunt Lynn came too.  They will be signing autographs at Thanksgiving.

Tea Time

Escaped for a short while and had some tea/coffee with my mwcc group.  So very thankful for these women in my life.
