Last night is exactly what I needed to turn my frown upside down. My great sister Caitlyn hosted a little Christmas party for all the little kids. I raced home from work and picked up Brehdi. We finally arrived just in time for Brehdi to make a countdown Christmas tree.
With that completed, it was time to make the gingerbread houses. What a mess was made. Marlee, Emma, Wyatt, Brehdi, Kaylee, Nick, Tyler, and Lily were all crowded around the table making a house. Brehdi’s turned out really nice. After that was over it was time to play. Boy did the kids play.
Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures but Caitlyn had her camera out so I will sneak a couple of pictures from her Facebook and post them here later.
As Brehdi and I leaving, her gingerbread house fell apart!! Sad that her dad couldn’t see it. Thankfully we scheduled another attempt for Sunday afternoon. It was nice to be in a happy atmosphere instead of being yelled at. I haven’t been near family for over a week and it was making an impact. Amazing how we take what we have for granted.
Bonus is today is Friday. Just a few more hours to get through and then the weekend will be here. Saturday will be a busy day. It starts off with the Meridian Holiday Parade, then the Tuba Christmas concert in Nampa around noon, then babysitting Marlee, followed the Caldwell Nightlight Parade. Early Sunday morning, I am driving my parents to the airport. They will be in Iceland for the week. What a great way to celebrate a 30th wedding anniversary. To go experience a new place together.
