...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...

Every year during Christmas week, we get together with the Ditata's to drive around looking at Christmas lights. This year, I have tons of things on my Christmas to-do list, so we added Ethel M's Cactus Garden in with our annual drive. Since it opened at 5pm and it's always so busy, we made that our first stop. They had so many amazing lights. Grace kept talking about how pretty the lights were (in her own Gracie language) and also enjoyed chomping on a candy cane the whole way through: Since it's a cactus garden, they decorated each cactus with a strand of lights. It really made for lots of color: They also had snowmen all throughout the garden: This picture was supposed to get the snowflakes hung above the walkway, but ended up being a good shot of the new baby belly at 20.5 weeks: I also really liked these little light figurines. Maybe I can get hubby to find me some for next year: Gingerbread Men and Lollipops Desert Peacocks After we finished enjoyi...
