Busy busy busy. . . Christmas break.

Wow these last couple of days have been so crazy. Last night we attended Madison's Christmas band concert.
I am just amazed every time I hear them. They keep on getting better and better. I love that she decided to stay in band. After the concert Madison and I made plans to go shopping for her sisters Christmas gifts. While I was waiting for Madison to get her instrument put away, a Young Women from our ward ask if I could give her a ride home. The lights were out at her house and her parents were having problems getting the car out of the garage. When I pulled into the neighborhood, I noticed that the whole neighborhood didn't have lights. I called Kevin to see where he was because I was not sure how we were going to get into our house. He hadn't made it home yet and wasn't worried. Madison and I went on with our original plans and went shopping. While out shopping we witnessed an accident. No body was hurt and the driver of the car that was hit was a police officer so we didn't need to stick around for anything. In the mean time Kevin got home and realized it was harder then he thought to get into our house with no electricity. He ended up putting Allison over the fence and talking her through how to unlock the door. I am thankful for the flashlight app on his phone or I don't know how she would have done it. It is kind of nice to know our house is that safe. Once in the house Kevin had more difficulties because all of flashlights had no batteries and he didn't know where the candles were. Kevin finally had everything found and as he had lit the candle the lights came on. It was a crazy late night.
Today was the girls last day of school before Christmas break. Ashley started her morning off with a Christmas concert at school. Miss Dawn and Capri came to see the concert. Ashley was so excited to have so many people there to see her. Kevin even made it. The songs they sang were so cute. Ashley did a great job. I loved the last song they sang with the sunglasses. The kids were so cute up there. After the concert I thought it might be fun for Allison if I brought her lunch at school. I have done this several times for Madison on her birthday but can't do it on Allison's birthday. I wanted it to be a surprise so I pretended to pack her a lunch this morning. Since Capri and Miss Dawn were staying the rest of the day with us, I brought Capri along for another surprise. Allison was delightfully surprised. We ended up eating in the hall with her because she had Idaho history bee practice. It was fun watching her study with her friends.
We finished our day out with some more fun. Allison was at the Moellers for the evening and Capri stayed at our house. Madison ask if we could get Just Dance from redbox. Madison, Ashley and Capri had so much fun with it.


It is nice to finally be on Christmas break. We could all use a couple weeks of relaxing.
