Sunday

~Chapel things

~Buy Jamin new running shoes to alleviate shin splints

~Lunch

~I had to buy Arielle a skirt...she HATES wearing new clothes....she has ONE dress that she insists on wearing all the time...but I told her it would not work for the Nutcracker or the Christmas play next Sunday. She was a good sport. She had a shirt that is darling; we ran to Target and found a little black skirt. She was sweet. Turns out it is so hot in the civic auditorium that she COULD have worn her summer dress. ::snort:: (Notice Stacia's head in the corner of the 2nd picture...she shows up and preen whenever the camera is out. LOL)

~Arielle, Nolan, Jared and I usher for our city's production of The Nutrcacker. It was AWESOME. Many of the stars were homeschoolers and they all did an awesome job.

~After The Nutcracker we stopped by Target to buy baby gifts for two staff members who are registered with Target Baby service. THEN those who were there wanted to do their Christmas shopping - so we did.

~I used my LAST Taylors of Harrogate vanilla tea yesterday...so I ordered a box here....and then had to add 6 little tea pots. Don't you think it would be fun to have individual pots at a tea party? They were really cheap - $3.95 each.... Arielle really wants to have a tea party and she smiled her shy smile at me and I was a goner....maybe I'll wrap them and put them in her stocking or something. ::snort::

~It turns out the thing that one of my friends wanted at Target wasn't in the store...so I ordered online...but I found great little containers for staff/teacher etc Christmas gifts.....all in all a productive day.

~We're watching "Racing Stripes", better go join the children.

Arielle doesn't look like a little girl anymore...She looks like a beautiful young lady with her sweet smile!

Sis: Sounds like you and yours had the kind of day Michail and I ended up having. He had a bowling tourny that continued from Saturday. His team took 2nd place and 1st place last week. Dad, Nadia and I went home to wait for M to call. Then he and I went to finish some of his Christmas shopping. He is doing good in that he has earned ALL the money he is spending.

Nadia is a hand full but a sweetie when she wants to be.


love/prayers

Dorothy - yes - I love the little jacket too. She looked so elegant and huggable. I told her so....which was a bit more affection than she wanted to admit she wanted. LOL

What a lovely young lady Arielle is. Great outfit.

She looks great, so cute that Stacia tries to get in all the pictures. I think the mini tea pots will be so sweet if you do a girls tea party.

AAACCCCKKKK....she can't look ALL grown up...she has to remain my baby forever....she was given the orders when the girls left last year. ::snort::

Cynthia said...

Sorry... but she looks very grown up to me... .sigh.... I think I remember her in a car seat, don't I?

Yep - a carseat and stroller at the MT state capital - I think Josh was the other baby on that adventure....
