I am writing this one in advance because Mike and I are away for our anniversary weekend! We’re staying at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside, California, which is famous for its amazing holiday light display. I love this time of year and I’m so glad we got married in December when everyone is feeling happy and loving, and everything is decorated so festively.

Sing Out
James had his pre-K holiday concert on Friday. It’s safe to say this kid has NO stage fright. He was super into it and had a smile on his face the whole time. He just kills me.
No Time Like The Present
Mike and I finished most of our Christmas shopping yesterday, thank goodness. I just have some stocking stuffers left to give, but otherwise I can sit back and relax (and wrap) this week!
~We ordered Annie these two cool books, 100 Women Who Made History and History Year by Year.
~Mike also picked out this robot cat thing, the closest Annie will ever get to owning a cat while she lives in my house.
~And of course, you can never go wrong with playdoh. LOTS of playdoh.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Haha, I feel like you should put an emoji face on other kids whose faces you can’t show! That would be sooooo funny! xP
Randi says:
Happy anniversary!
Lisa says:
I TOTALLY bought the robot cat thing too since my eldest asked for a cat of her own (because the two we have and the 8 fosters we did over the past 6 months wasn’t enough). LoL.
