What’s in the locker?
Jake and I were at the kids’ school today for a conference and checked Shecklet #4’s locker. Totally empty except for this:
Her dad and Uncle Jason were pretty proud.
Earrings for Shecklet #4
This girl has been so patient! We originally scheduled an appointment to have her ears pierced back in December. Unfortunately, we had colds off and on through January, so we kept putting it off.
Fast forward to today – she finally got her wish!
She was SO brave! The red studs look so good on her!
HBD #9 to #4! 🎉
Our Shecklet #4 had her final single-digit birthday today! She requested mini hamburgers on Hawaiian rolls. We had a few family members over to celebrate with us on the 19th and then she skied on her actual birthday. Year #9 seems to be off to a great start!
Christmas Day 2021
Christmas morning was spent at home.
Here are the “read” gifts they received. This year we opted for “practical use” material.
The “want” gifts.
ETA 12/27/21: Shecklet #1 finished his LEGO set in no time, Shecklet #2 can’t wait to use his new ski gloves (he wore a hole in his old ones,) Shecklet #3 found the perfect place in her room for the fuzzy purple rug, and Shecklet #3 has been having fun taking pictures with her camera.
The “share” gift. I may or may not have gone a little overboard here, but the deal I got on Perler beads was too good. 40,000 beads should keep them busy for a while, right?!?
After lunch, we headed south to spend the afternoon/evening with Jake’s family. Everyone was there – including Tippi!
Merry Christmas!!
Christmas Eve 2021
We attended 4pm mass at our parish to celebrate Christmas. Aunt Larissa joined us for mass and afterwards we had heavy appetizers for dinner. Jake returned to church to run the cameras for streaming the 10pm mass.
Gingerbread houses – 2021
We decided to try something new and hot glue our gingerbread houses together before decorating them. Since we didn’t plan on eating them, it saved in frosting and time! Win-win!
After the decorating was completed, we polled several family members and here’s how the results came out:
Best use of frosting: #4 (Shecklet #3)
Best use of candy: # 1 (Shecklet #2)
Best traditional house: #3 (Shecklet #4)
Best whimsical house: #2 (Shecklet #1)
Snowflakes
I came home from taking Shecklet #2 for a haircut and found these three making snowflakes together.
