Busy December Already!




It has been so busy already that I have not posted in a while. Here are a few events that have brought us Christmas joy.


Kennedy's school program "Meet Me at the Manager" was the kick off to the holiday. Here is Kennedy with her friends before the program. Of course, Nana, Papa and Aunt Shell were there to share in this special day for Kennedy. She had fun and sung her little heart out. She, being the over achiever, lip synced everyone elses part. Go Kenn! Then Kennedy and the rest of the 2nd & 1st graders joined the Polar Express parade donned by their own train car (Kennedy's was Santa's Workshop) and they paraded through the elementary school, middle school and high school. The other students stood outside their classrooms and cheered the kids on. It was such a touching site. The kids really had fun.


Friday night our church put on their Christmas Festival with snow, crafts for the kids to do, vendors, hot chocolate, cookie decorating.. and more. This is a fun event that we would never miss.









Next on the list was Michael's big day at the March Airfield Museum for his buddy Grayson's 5th b.day party. Who would have thought to have a party on an old WWII airplane? It was a HUGE plane and the kids got to play on the plane for the entire party; except for the fun scavenger hunt where they looked for items hidden in the surrounding planes. Michael got to pretend that he was flying the plane. WAY COOL! Darren probably had the same amount or more fun then Michael. He chatted with a WWII Vet that told him some hairy stories about his mission in this plane. Really Cool!!



Lastly, our visit with Santa at the Mission Inn. This was our first trip there. If you haven't seen it, put it on your list of things to do during the holiday season. The lights and effects are beyond amazing and so beautiful! There are soooo many people that you will definately need one adult per child just to keep and eye on your little ones (maybe I'm just paranoid). We had a lovely dinner at the restaurant at the Mission Inn, walked around the square and popped into shops. It was great to be with the whole family and continue traditions with the kids.
