We went to Sky Zone for Hailey and Max's birthday party.  The kids all had fun jumping and playing there.  We went to a special room and had pizza, juice and ice cream cake.  The kids opened their gifts afterward and got lots of nice stuff.  Hailey came home with us and spent the night.  We watched the movie she got for her birthday and had popcorn.  Had a fun time with our girl!

12/19/16...Kimmy, Vikki, Kenzie and Peyton came over

Kenzie and Peyton

Kenzie tried my glasses on.  Vikki colored her hair last night

These sweet girls came to help decorate all these Christmas cookies.

Some of the cookies we decorated

Kimmy gave Mocha a haircut for Christmas!  Love it!  Soooo cute Kimmy!

 Kimmy came over, then a little later, Vikki, Kenzie and Peyton came.  Peyton had been up crying all night about her tooth, and threw up so didn't go to school.  She laid on the couch the whole time she was here, didn't want anything to eat, and ended throwing up again.  Kimmy, Vikki and Kenzie did great at decorating the cookies.  Thank you girls! I started decorating, but then had to go to the dentist for a quick appointment.  Came home and finished a couple cookies but they were pretty close to being done.  I sure am blessed.  Loved having all the wonderful help.  We prayed for Wes while we were all together.  About and hour later, I got a text from Gayla saying he would be coming home tomorrow.  Thanked the Lord than.  Kimmy gave Mocha the best haircut ever!  She did such a great job.  Mocha looks so cute!  Thank you Kimmy! Bill and I watched a Christmas movie!

12/18/16...Peyton and Isaac were in our church Christmas Program and Hailey, Max, Jack and Evan are in their school program.

Evan, Max and Jack after the program!  They all did such a good job!

Peyton lost her first tooth.  Kenzie stayed the night and pulled it out!

We went to church and sat close to the front so we could see the kids good in their program.

They sang cute and did the motions so cute.  Loved watching them.  Left church and went to see Wes.  He needs to see a cardiac doctor because he is having A Fib and also retaining fluid they think because he has gained 5 lbs. and hasn't been eating.  Melissa and Bruce came up to see him while we were there.  Gayla and Joel got there right before we left.  They couldn't get Joel's wheelchair through so he could be close to Wes so was just going to visit from the other side of the bed.  Bill ended up trying and got it through.  When Joel got close to Wes, Wes leaned forward and grabbed Joels hands.  He was so happy to see him.  I was worried Wes was going to hurt himself, but he didn't and it was so touching to see father and son together.   We prayed with Wes before we left.  

Came home and made veggie soup.  Met Melissa, Bruce and family and watched the kids in their school program.  Hailey played in the Pre Music, and then the preschool did their cute presentation.  After that the program started.  The music was amazing and the kids all sang so good.  Loved all the Christmas songs!  Loved that the kids sang "In a little stable" and "God loves me dearly"  Jack really sang out!  We couldn't see Max sing from where we were, but he sure did his speaking part really good.  Hailey did great at her part and at singing too.  Evan too!  He did the motions so cute!

We sure had a good time and it sure is nice focusing on the true meaning of Christmas.  Vikki tried to FaceTime me because Peyton lost her first tooth, but I had my phone on vibrate because of program so I sent a message saying I couldn't talk.  I called her on my way home.  Kenzie was spending the night there, so she pulled it.  Peyton was scared after that and didn't sleep all night and was crying.  Poor thing.
