Here's a little of what we've been up to this past week. Last Monday we decorated gingerbread cookies. Mabel had pretty much been begging to do this everyday and was so glad we finally did!
Lilly had to decorate a gingerbread man to look like a Santa from another country. She chose Brazil. She asked Grandma Wilkins about Christmas there and found our Santa has a surf board and wears swim shorts. I love the flip flops!! She also learned that they have a big dinner on Christmas Eve and open all their presents at midnight. When she heard that she said "huh. Usually all the boring stuff happens on Christmas Eve."
Last Tuesday Mabel had her Christmas performance at Dance. She did a lot better than last year when she just stood there with her head in her folded arms.
She was so fun to watch!
On Wednesday I took my girls to the Provo Library to hear Jan Brett speak. They had this little hedgehog mascot walking around. It was so cute!
She talked about her latest book
and showed us how to draw a picture of a rabbit. It was pretty neat to see! She's an incredible artist!
On Thursday Mabel had her gymnastics performance for parents. It was pretty fun to watch.
She's hilarious at this sport. We're hoping someday she might master a cartwheel!
Later that day we decorated cookies for Activity Days. This little cheeser enjoyed eating frosting on the table. He also has enjoyed coloring on the walls this week. Naughty little boy!
And finally, here's a shot of a gorgeous sunset we had this week. Doug texted me on his way home and told me to go look at the sky. Right after I got that text Lilly said "Holy cow! Look at the sky!" Looks like everyone was noticing it that night. Beautiful!
