Sick turkeys

Well, my little turkeys were still sick on Thanksgiving. In the words of Jillian, "boo, hoo hoo".  Tony was off work, so we had a nice restful day at home, but no turkey for us. As it happened, my dad came down with a sinus infection and felt pretty bad, so Thanksgiving has been rescheduled for this Sunday with my family/extended family.

We did take the opportunity to decorate the house for Christmas! The girls were on pins and needles waiting to do this. They had such a fun time!!

Our Christmas tree is very bottom heavy...hmmm...wonder why?

That evening, my mom and I went Black Friday shopping!! I haven't been able to go in a few years, but since the stores opened at night I had lots of time! We started at 7pm  and shopped until 2am! I was super tired by that time, but it was so worth it!

The girls are fever free (finally!) and on the road to recovery. :) Happy Thanksgiving!

First musical and fevers

 Last weekend Kennedy and Kaitlyn participated in a musical at Sugar Creek called "Under God's Sea in 3D" They were part of the choir and we were so proud of them!  Here are just a few pictures of the girls.

My sweet girls! (They got "Under the Sea" hats)

Last week on Tues, Jillian starting not feeling so well. By Wed she had fever. We took her to the dr and they said it was just a cold/virus. Well....now we are on day 6 and the poor thing STILL has fever! AND...she passed this lovely virus to her sisters. Kennedy got fever Saturday and Kaitlyn woke up  with fever today (Sunday). We are hoping and praying that this passes quick so we can enjoy Thanksgiving with extended family! I am very thankful, though, that I am off this week for Thanksgiving break so I can take care of them and they aren't missing school. That's a blessing!

Super Saturday

Today was a fun filled day! Tony was off work (yea!) so we had lots of fun! Kennedy and Kaitlyn are in kids choir at Sugar Creek Baptist and they had a 2 hour rehearsal today, so we dropped them off at the church and we took Jillian to the mall. We didn't expect to see Santa so soon, but he was there, there was NO line and she REALLY wanted to see him. The prices for the pictures are sooo expensive, so I snapped a few on my phone. Sorry for the poor quality, but I'm so glad I got some! She LOVED it! She told Santa she wanted a bike!

My brave little girl! No fear from this child!

 "Santa, I want a bike for Christmas."

Jillian had a lot of fun at the mall and really enjoyed all the "mommy/daddy attention".  We ate lunch at the food court and she got to play at the play area for a while.  Then, it was off to pick up Kennedy and Kaitlyn.  

After naps, we went to Bass Pro Shop in Katy. They had a Santa Wonderland there and Santa was giving FREE pictures! Plus there were crafts and other fun things.

(Sorry again for the picture quality...using my phone)

 This was the first time since the twins were 6 months old that they have visited Santa. Before this, they were way too scared! They loved it! They told Santa they wanted guitars.

We left that store and headed out to the mall. We walked around and enjoyed looking in the different stores. We came upon the food court and of course they wanted to ride the merry-go-round!

This was her first time to ride on a merry-go-round!

After the ride, we had dinner and walked around some more. By this time, everyone was getting tired.
We were so happy that Tony was off on a Saturday this week! We had such a wonderful day! Tomorrow is Kennedy and Kaitlyn's big musical! We can't wait to see them perform.
