Picture of the Week: Visiting with Santa


Monday, Gracie got her permanent palatal arch put in. She did great, and forgot all about it after a day or two.


We made peanut butter blossom cookies after school on Tuesday, and the girls helped unwrap all of the kisses.



We did a little Christmas shopping, and Grace made Daddy text Santa everything she saw that she wanted.


Charley sang upstairs by herself and recorded it on her iPad. I love that I get their pictures and videos on my phone, so I can spy on them.


I went to the Vegas Strong Benefit Concert with my mom and sisters on Mom's birthday. The concert was awesome, and I totally fell in love with Imagine Dragons. They were amazing performers, and I can't wait to go see them live again. (Happy Birthday, Mom!)









I took the girls to get their annual Santa pictures. We opted for matching jammies this year instead of the fancy dresses we usually wear. Perry wasn't a huge fan, but the pictures still turned out adorable.



Since the studio is around the corner from Poppa and Grandma's house, we stopped by to visit with them for a bit. The girls always get snacks from Poppa when we stop by, so it's one of their favorite places to go.



That night, we celebrated Mom's birthday at the lake. We watched the Parade of Lights, and Perry gave Ava lots of love.













Sunday morning, we ate breakfast at Marie Calendar's and enjoyed their amazing blueberry banana bread.


After breakfast, we stopped by the park in hopes of wearing the girls out. We had big plans that night, and we really wanted them to nap beforehand.


Grace and Char tore up the monkey bars. They're so good on them now, since they practice at school every day.








After long naps all around, we got ready and headed to T-Mobile Arena for the Golden Knights game.



We had a blast, as usual. I really wish we would have known how much we were going to love hockey when the team was first announced. I would have bought season tickets way back then before they got so expensive. At this game, they handed out Vegas Born towels on the way in, and it was so cool to see them in action as the game started.


Perry took her usual second period nap.


The girls visited Uncle Zac and Auntie Stef during a break, since they were sitting on the other side of the arena.




We ate yummy snacks and cheered the Knights to victory.






Another fun week down, and only a couple more to go in 2017!

See you next week.

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
