Our "Practice Christmas"

Sunday, November 30 was our "practice Christmas" since Tim, Kendra, Owen and Mason were here! We started out the morning with sticky cinnamon rolls like we do on Christmas morning. Then we put the Christmas tree up (not a normal thing we do on Christmas morning, but still was getting us in the Christmas spirit!!). The kids had fun with the ornaments of course.

We even got a cute picture of all four of the kids. Notice Mason's "smile"!??! That is what he does when you ask him to smile for the camera! :) Silly, silly boy!!
Then we all went over to Grandma and Grandpa's again. The kids played outside, helped the guys with cleaning up and tearing down a tree outside, watched a little "Santa Claus" on tv, helped decorate their tree, and even made a few new ornaments.
Before supper Hailey started getting a little sleepy...and fell asleep! I couldn't believe it. So, we let her sleep through supper. She woke up and was burning up!! So, she got a nice cool bath and then curled up on the couch. She wasn't there long....and she said she didn't feel good and ended up getting sick. Poor thing!!! However, that did help her feel better and she wanted us to still open presents so we started getting that ready. She did open her presents, but just wasn't as excited as she normally would be.

Ryan of course enjoyed his presents and was very excited!! :) The last presents for Hailey, Ryan and Owen were little guns from Cabela's! They were suppose to get them this summer, but TKOM weren't able to come during that time so they got them now instead. Talk about a LOUD room!! :) Hailey was starting to feel better then too...so that helped.

It was a fun day for all of us, but then it was time to get home so Hailey could get some rest (school the next day) and work for me (Chris and Ryan were "off" on Monday too).
