Picture of the Week: A Night with the Golden Knights at the Cosmopolitan


Perry wasn't feeling well on Monday, so she came to work with me for the day. She spent most of the time snuggling with her baby watching movies, but she also colored and helped Auntie Allison open the mail.


Our elf, Clarabelle, showed up that night with 25 books. The girls were so excited and couldn't wait to open a new book each night to read before bed.




Charley learned about Hanukkah and got Bucket Filler of the week at school. She was so excited to get her official Bucket Filler shirt.


Perry and I watched movies on the couch, and she continued her love of snuggling her face on my face.


Gracie's class learned all about assembly lines in production while making trail mix in teams. Each person had a job to do, and they raced the other team to see who could make ten bags first. I say this every time, but her teacher is seriously so awesome and always teaches the kids in the funnest ways possible.



That night, we left Perry at home with Daddy, and Allison and I took the girls to the Cosmopolitan for Knight night. We got to hang with Chance the Gila monster and met Oscar Dansk, one of the goalies from the Vegas Golden Knights. We also saw Alex Tuch, but the lines were too long of a wait on a school night. We had fun exploring the ice rink and taking in the beautiful views.





We've been eating dinner at Wahoo's a lot lately, because Isaac and I are both obsessed with their Kale Kai salad. I always tell Allison about it, so I had to take a picture to show her.


Perry practiced driving, while we waited for Grace and Char to get back from school one afternoon.


We had breakfast at Aunt Geni's Saturday morning, and all of the kids' elves joined in on the fun.


That night, we had our company Christmas party. We dropped the kids off with Grandma Sunshine and got ready in our hotel room at the JW Marriott. We had so much fun watching the Knights win at the bar and playing some video poker before heading to the party. After dinner, we played some roulette and won an Amazon Echo in the raffle. I'm glad Alex and Allison work with us, because they make the night that much more fun.







Meanwhile, the kids had a blast at Grandma Sunshine's with their cousins decorating cookies and playing in a fort. It was Perry's first sleepover, and she went to bed with her big sisters. 





Charley continued to take pictures and videos of herself that kept popping up on my phone.




Perry got bit by the tickle bug. I love this kid's belly laughs.


She played in the bath and sang herself songs.



Once all the kids went to sleep, Clarabelle caused some ruckus and made herself into a snowman.


That's all for now. 

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...
