Twas the Week Before Christmas...

So many things happened this week..It was busy, but fun!!

So from oldest to newest..

On Tuesday..
  Caleb had his Preschool Performance and Party.  It was simply adorable.  Six little preschoolers singing and making movements to favorite Christmas songs.  Dave and I agreed that this was our favorite..




Afterwards they had a gift exchange amongst the kids and a great party with fun treats afterwards.  So much fun!!

On Thursday..
  Josh had his first grade school performance, where they performed songs like Silent Night to Feliz Navidid.  He did a great job, here is my little singer after the performance...



  Tht afternoon we had a birthday party to celebrate Josh's 7th birthday.  He had over a few friends that enjoyed playing outside, making homemade pizza, presents, cupcakes and goodies.  It was his first birthday party with friends, an he had a blast.



Friday..
  We enjoyed an end to the crazy busy week of class parties, performances, getting teacher gifts in, presents in for gifts exchanges, cupcakes made for sidewalk sales, and goodies (non-sweet) ones for Josh's birthday.

  That evening we celebrated our low key family birthday with Josh's favorite place to eat out..In 'n Out, followed by a fun evening at Farell's Restaurant.  They just opened one near us, and it took Dave and I back to when we were kids.  We enjoyed the "Trough", some shakes, and Josh was sung to, while they beat on the big drum, and ran the siren.  So much fun!!



Saturday...
  We took a drive down to Escondido, so the kids could enjoy grandpa's Christmas Party at the Optomist Club.  They played while Dave and I left them in grandma and grandpa's care so we could celebrate our Anniversary.  We drove by familiar spots, our reception site, the San Diego Temple and I can't believe these past twelve years have just flown by.  Over 17 years ago we shared our first kiss.  12 years ago we were sealed in the temple, and now four kids later, I still love him more than ever!!
