Eli loved the donkey game.  He won 2 out of 3 games...no wonder he loved it!


Peyton was in a play at her school called the Un-Ducky Duckling.  It was a cute play and Peyton acted and sang so well.  We were so proud of her!

Rehvyn was so cute watching and clapping.  When a group would leave the stage, he would say goodbye quietly and wave.  

 I got up at 7:30 and started getting ready.  I cleaned the kitchen sinks.  Then I made my coffee.  I decided to start a load of laundry too.  I got side tracked so much, I thought it was too late to do my hair.  Then I looked at my text from Vikki and she told me not to do my hair because she was bring her new straightening brush.  I was glad then that I ran out of time.  Vikki got here first and did my hair, showing me how to use the brush.  It worked so amazing and was so easy and fast.  She always gives me great tips and shows me the easiest way to do things.  Kimmy and Eli got here and Eli had made chocolate chip cookies yesterday and brought us a bag full so we could all enjoy them.  They were so delicious and they disappeared fast.  Nice to have another great baker in the family.  I should have taken a picture of them.

We had a nice time visiting and drinking our coffee.  Eli found some Oreo’s and was happy.  He ate the last of those and we girls had Lorna Doones.  I picked up some at Sam’s Club because that’s what Kimmy had after her colonoscopy and she shared them with us.

Vikki had to leave for work.  Eli and Kimmy filled my bird feeders for me.  Eli shoveled paths on the deck for me too.  Now I will be able to feed the birds, if it stays cleared.  It is supposed to get in the mid 30’s tomorrow so it should melt even more outside.  I am sure thankful for their help.  I have an amazing family!  So blessed!

While they did that, I put a pizza in the Ninja oven.  I made a freezer lasagna for me.  Eli and Kimmy picked pizza. Eli really loves Dajourno pizzas, so that’s what I bought.  We all ate, then we played Donkey.  Bill read the directions, so we played the right way.  It was so much fun.  Eli said he love the game.  Kimmy, Eli and I played another game while Bill read  his Bible.  Eli won 2 games and Kimmy won the third game.  I had the donkey, but gave it to Eli and then I went out so I was the second winner.  We sure had fun!  Eli wanted to play again, but Bill and I had to get ready and leave to go to meet Pat and Rich at Olive Garden. Vikki was on her way back here to visit more with Kimmy.

We had a great time and great food with Pat and Rich.  They are always fun to get together with.  They love Jesus so much and have so many miracle testimonies of what God had done that it’s uplifting being around them.  We share lots about what God is doing in our family too and they love to hear that.  I took about 3/4’s of my chicken fettuccini with broccoli home with me.  Bill took half of his home with him.  

It was snowing and the roads were getting slippery.  We came home and dropped the phone off.  I read one chapter in my Bible, then we left for the play.  Kenzie pulled in right behind us, so we walked with her.  Papa carried Rehvyn in.  Vikki was waiting inside for us with Isaac.  The play was so cute and Peyton sure did a really great job acting and singing.  She has an amazing voice.  There were 2 more plays other kids did after that, but Kenzie, Bill and I left.  Vikki kept Rehvyn with her,

We came home and relaxed and I worked on my blog.
