Christmas break

Hooray! Christmas break is here!  We've started our Christmas movie a day plan with some frosty the snowman watching. One of the newer versions, since there are like, a million.

Yesterday morning, Frankie and the kindergarteners of CWFDES put on an adorable Christmas performance.
Frankies got some mad dance skilz, which she showed off during Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.
And Rudlph the Red Nose Reindeer.
Frank's and Mrs. Schou. (Rhymes with cow) she's loving kindergarten!
Lil' sister had to try the Rudolph hat on. Only, she wouldn't take her hand off her cute red nose.
After the concert, they played the last 30 minutes of The Polar Express and then served cookies and hot chocolate. It was a cute morning.
After that we had a presidency meeting, did a few visits, and made dozens and dozens of elves caps for teacher appreciation and Beth's party. And someone took some festive pictures of our cute kid centered tree.
Last night was neighbor Beth's 2nd annual Christmas party. It was so fun. and then a few of us stayed way too late talking PTA and everything that is wrong and right at CWFDES. There are some growing pains for this first year, but overall it's going pretty well, I think.
Today was errands and visits, and, sad day, I had to give up my brand new ride. It feels so strange to drive my jolly green again! A new car is so luxurious and I got pretty spoiled this past month. Now my truck feels like a tank, but she's a good tank, so it's all good. 

Matt was off today so he went and helped Addie's teacher play musical chairs and run a book exchange. Then we both got to spend some time at her class party. It was really nice. 

Family cleaning hour, macaroni and cheese for dinner (gourmet), and planning of tomorrow's millions of errands were on the agenda this evening. And it's a wonderful start to our Christmas break!
