Christmas Programs and Christmas

Adia had her school Christmas program just before winter break started. They sang lots of interesting Christmas/Hanukkah songs. Their theme was holiday celebrations from around the world. They sang in several different languages even and kids played instruments. Adia surprised us by playing the xylophone. The girls insisted on wearing their Christmas dresses to the performance so I made sure to get pictures of them beforehand.


That Saturday was Gramma and Papa's Christmas party. The girls had fun running around, playing with trains and eating way too much junk food. And then it was Christmas. DiDi stayed over Christmas Eve. We open presents Christmas Eve and Santa presents on Christmas morning. Adia and Mira were completely happy with their presents, but Leia was a grump about everything. She's going through a bit of a rough patch and it's been trying.

Christmas morning brought happy faces thanks to Santa and then we went out to breakfast before heading over the Gramma and Papa's house.


And then we were off to Gramma and Papa's house for more presents and Christmas dinner. The girls were excited to see Unky Eck and Auntie Colie too. Adia got a bigger bike that's pink and purple. She's so excited to be able to ride a bike again.


We also celebrated DiDi's birthday. I made her an apple pie the night before.


DiDi spent the night with us and on her actual birthday, she took all 3 kiddos home with her. Mira and Leia came home last night, but she took Adia back with her. Adia gets to have some quiet game playing time while the twins and I have been vegging. The critters were more than happy to have some of their kids home. Naia's been following me all over, mewing and acting weird. I think she misses Adia. They're close buddies.
