Incrediweek

This week was busy, but great. Brayden had his school party, we delivered Christmas gifts to the neighbors, completed all our Christmas shopping, and found ourselves at Incredible Pizza, again. (We just can't stay away!)

There are a lot of pictures this week, they pretty much sum up our activities.

Kylee suddenly decided that having bows and clips in her hair was a good idea. This is the first day she actually let me put in an elastic band and leave it in.

Later that same day, she got into the box of hair clips and wasn't satisfied until I had put a handful in her hair. She must be a girl--she couldn't make up her mind!

This is her first ever pig-tail day. I must say, it went surprisingly well.

Dreamy because he can put as much candy on it as he wants.

Among other songs, the kids sang " Rudolf the Red Nosed-Reindeer, had a very shiny nose. . ."

Brayden and Ella. I carpool with Ella's mom, so these two see a lot of each other.

Taylor's sister Laci and her husband Tyler are in town for Christmas. We went to Incredible Pizza with them, Haylee, Josh, and Grandpa Dickerson. We had a blast!

This time, we decided to try the mini golf. Brayden just kept golfing game after game after game. He probably played for a full hour before we dragged him away.

Kylee had different ideas on how to play mini golf. Good thing it wasn't busy!

While Brayden finished up his last round of golf, Kylee entertained dad with her moves.

Brayden's new favorite game at Incredible Pizza is Deal or No Deal. I must admit, this game has his name written all over it. He gets to choose a number, then on the computer screen a different number comes out of a suitcase and everyone around him cheers or groans. Then he gets to choose another number. Can life get any better? The first time he played he won 1 ticket (that's the worst you can do, by the way). The second time we played together he won 100 tickets! I thought we were smokin'. But then, he played with his Aunt Lacie.

And we have a winner! They won 240 tickets! I think that is more than we've ever had TOTAL in a trip to Incredible Pizza. We all pooled our tickets and by the end of the afternoon we had over 1,300 tickets. What a "Deal!"

Check out the winnings.

As part of my Christmas gift, my sister Anna made me a recipie. Can you believe it!? It's just for me and it's call "Jasmine's Chocolate Bread Cake with Almond sauce." I made it for our friends, the Hawkins. As you can see, Tyler is really enjoying it, as he is shoveling a huge piece in his mouth. Taylor's bite was so big, he couldn't fit it all in his mouth. Thanks Anna!

This is just hanging around the house, but my kids are cuddly together without encouragment only once in a blue moon, so how could I not share it with you all?

Kylee's Christmas dress. I added the red Sash and made a red bow. I was inspired by my sister's wedding dress. If I had a picture of Megan's dress, I would post it-- but alas, computer problems caused me to loose the pictures I had taken at her wedding. Megan if you read this, will you send me a picture of you in your dress so I can post it?


Brayden looked so handsome!

This was taken after church. I took a ton of pictures of them before church, but not one turned out well, so this is the best I could do.
