We got our first snow on Monday! It was very warm on Saturday and Sunday, but a cold front came through with lots of precipitation and the change over from rain to snow overnight was enough to get the kids a 2 hour delay on Monday.
This week was Christmas spirit week at Emmy's school. Monday was ugly sweater day.
Girls wore red on Tuesday.
Our county has a tradition of Santa coming around on the fire truck each season. Tuesday was our day. Emmy kept warm with hot chocolate while we waited.
Hi, Santa!
Wednesday was winter wonderland.
Emmy had her Christmas piano recital on Wednesday night. She did a great job with Jingle Bell Rock.
We just love her teacher, Ms. Emily.
Thursday was twin day!
Friday was pajama day.
The Yonce family are our good friends. Their 10 year old son Gavin is fighting bone cancer like a champ! He has needed a couple of blood transfusion during his journey and his parents wanted to give back to others this holiday season who also may need blood. Jason and I helped organize and host a blood drive at our church on Saturday. We got 41 donations/pints!
Christmas is quickly creeping up on us but we're trying to squeeze in all the holiday things. We went to Winterfest at Kings Dominion last night and the kids went ice skating. They did a great job and had a lot of fun!
Our county scheduled a wonky break this year so unfortunately our kids go to school every day this upcoming week. That means we still have a full daytime school and evening sports schedule leading right up to Christmas. It's making it hard to find time to do all the festive things. Hopefully we won't mind once Christmas has passed and we're in Floriday for a week in January!
