December 2014

 School lunch with Coby :)  I meet the kids at school for lunch a few times a week. 

Sometimes KC comes as well. 

Pearl made this elf mask for a school project.  She would not accept any help from me. ;)  

Elfy returns!!!

First basketball game.  They play 3 on 3.  

They have to guard the opponent with the same color of wrist band. 

A beautiful 75 degree day in a heated pool.

Singing with the Primary at the ward Christmas party.

Building sleds for FHE.

Aproned up and ready to bake!  

A few times each year we read this cute book and follow the recipe in it for gingerbread cookies.  

Santa hat and slipper day at school.

 Decorating gingerbread houses with Pearl in Ms. Cantu's class.  

She was SO excited about this.  1st grade is such a fun age.

Pajama day.  The last day of school before a 2 1/2 week Christmas break!!

We got to fish-sit over the break, which was fun. 

Pearl and Coby had "sleepovers" on the bottom bunk the whole Christmas break.

 Coby suited up in his basketball uniform to pick Grandma and Grandpa up at the airport. ;)

Beautiful day at South Padre Island

 Dairy Queen blizzards are a must on the way home...

Arsene is currently living with my parents, attending college in Price.  

He wants to be a doctor and was able to shadow KC in the OR and clinic.  

 A cold, windy evening seeing the Hidalgo County lights display.

Christmas Eve pool party.

 On Christmas Eve KC surprised me with a new piano!!  

It plays beautifully.

So long Elfy!

We made a trip to San Antonio to be with the Calma family as Jay went through the temple for his first time and the family was sealed.  A special day for them!  Mom and Dad watched Pearl and Coby so KC and could both be there.

Goodbye Grandma, Grandpa, and Arsene :(

I loved spending the Christmas break days with Pearl and Coby.  School is over-rated. :)

Happy 34th Birthday to me :)

I made myself my favorite cake of all time:  oatmeal chocolate chip cake.  

We also celebrated Coby's "half birthday."  

He doesn't like cake, so I made some sugar cookies instead. 

 A kindergarten boy is a lot of fun :)
