Thanksgiving was good. We had the Eldredge feast over here, and thankfully, I didn't have to cook too many things. Richard's oldest brother, Lynn, and his family stayed with us for a few days. Our girls had so much fun getting to know their older girl cousins. Fun times!
After company went home, we decided to move all the kids into the rooms where they will be when the baby comes. Jonny now is in a queen size bed in the blue room (the better to have company come and stay), Rebecca and Breanna are once again sharing a room (which Becca just LOVES), and Katie will be sharing with the new baby girl. It was a lot of work, and their rooms are still in the process of being put back together, so no pictures yet. :)
Then it was Katie's 5th birthday! She had her first friend party this year. She was so excited and the little princesses all seemed to have a great time. Later that day our family went to Chuck E. Cheese and then to Krispy Kreme. What a fun day!
The big gift this year was a doggie pillow pet. What more could a 5 year old want?
Rebecca participated in the school spelling bee again this year. She did great, especially for not studying the words very much. :) We were all looking forward to her first band concert (she plays the flute), but she got very sick that same day and had to miss it. Her sickness kicked off a week or more of the entire family being sick with fevers, coughs, and runny noses. Not a fun week.
And now, Christmas is just a few days away. Our baby is due in 3 weeks and I am very content to wait the entire 3 weeks. Our official Christmas greetings will be New Year's greetings, so we can include a picture of the new baby. I guess we really should start deciding on a name. :)
Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
