Anabel traced her name at her Mothers Day Out program. At 2 3/4 we are pretty proud!

Courtney is having a big week. Saturday during her horse riding lesson she had her first fall. It was not a bad fall and she got right back on to finish her lesson. Hooray! On Monday she lost another tooth so she has a big gap on the right side that makes her have a funny lisp. Today she having her tonsils and adenoids removed. She was so brave going into surgery but did not want to wear the hair net. After a dose of Versced she forgot about it and started telling Mike he had two heads.

Courtney is out of surgery and it went well.

Courtney went back to school today the 19th. She did great and really seems to be healing well.

So tonight we think Anabel is asleep. Just before we go to bed we hear a sound and check on her. Below is what we found. There is nothing left in her dresser.

Anabel took a late nap today and slept a little too long so when bedtime came she was not ready to go to sleep. I let her look at a book for a few minutes as she was getting ready to sleep. At 10:30 she came downstairs fully dressed even with shoes, her purse and her phone ready to go to church. She has on a ballet outfit with a black skirt and black turtle neck over it. Two different knee socks that actually belong to the big girls and her little black dress shoes. So cute!!! When stopped laughing and taking pictures we told her she had to go to bed She went right up took her shoes off, put her purse and phone by the bed and wanted to sleep in her clothes so she will be ready for church.

We are hosting a swap/sale in Feb to support a missionary family as they raise money to adopt a sweet baby boy, Franklin. Save the stuff you are planning to give away, bring it to the swap and you can shop from everyone’s collection. More details and a date are coming soon but be assured it will be a fun time of fellowship and shopping. Plus you get to clean out your stuff and support a sweet family.

Courtney was awake around 6 this morning and she has been ready to go. Here are a few funny sayings from the morning.
“Is it like midnight, do we have to go back to sleep?”
After sneezing, “Where do I put this sneeze?”
When I caught her looking in a box before it was time, “I’m just peeking, I’ll act surprised when i open it”.

Santa showed up this afternoon to surprise the girls.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to San Diego. The one of just Mike is at a restaurant from Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. It was the first stop off the plane. The rest are from Sea World. Pretty fun but also exhausting after a day of flying.

Not sure who is enjoying this more Courtney or Daisy

In an attempt to use my herbs before they freeze I made an herb wreath. I used sage, rosemary, thyme and holly for some color. Not perfect but pretty and smells wonderful.
