A busy weekend

We had our first of many busy weekends between now and Christmas this past weekend. Here is a brief summary and, of course, lots of pictures!

Last Friday night Kaylynn had her Winter Program at school. The kids sang three really cute songs, one of which was "Twinkle, twinkle":

On Saturday morning was the annual Children's Holiday party at NCAR. They always have a lot of great crafts and fun games. Kaylynn got her face painted and had a unicorn balloon animal made. She also decided to brave Santa's lap again this year too!

Saturday morning Robin HG also arrived!

We watched Otis that afternoon and night so that Mommy and Daddy and Robin could have some bonding time. Kaylynn loves to have her friends sleep over and her and Otis played really great together. They would like to wish you a Mele Kalikimaka!!

Otis is hoping this is what Christmas morning looks like at his house!

On Sunday afternoon was Kaylynn's holiday dance recital. It was much more low-key compared to their spring recital, but still quite cute!

About a month ago we repainted Kaylynn's room, at her request, to PINK!!! When she saw it she said "Mommy, I love it!" She also inherited a canopy from a colleague that I work with and so we hung that up over her bed last weekend. Here she is doing her Sleeping Beauty impression!!

Finally, we squeezed in some time to build our gingerbread house tonight. I think Kaylynn ate more frosting and candies then actually made it on the house (we had to dig some M&M's out of our stash to finish decorating the roof)!!

We are looking forward to much more excitement this coming weekend - stay tuned!!

Cory,
Thanks for the card and the link to your blog. Send me your email address if you would as I seem to only have a non-working one.
