During our ward Christmas party we were supposed to have a hay ride to visit Santa, but it got rained out! So, on Monday we had a spur-of-the-moment hot cocoa/hay ride FHE so we could still have our hay ride!

Ward Christmas Party
Our Ward Christmas Party this year was GREAT...and mostly because Scott made it home right before the party and met us there! We were SOOOO excited to see him after 10 long weeks!!
The kids did the Nativity. Katelynn was a sheep, Michael was a shepherd, and Emma was an angel.
I taught the Primary kids how to do the sign language for the first verse of "Silent Night". They all loved it.
We had to go and see Santa, of course.
Holiday Concert
The kids had their Holiday Concert at school last week. It was grades K-4. The first grade sang, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and "I've Got Rhythm". Yeah, random, I know.
Katelynn's hairdo for the concert. She wanted me to take a picture of it.
The whole first grade.
Katelynn, on the bottom row.
Emma, on the top row.
I didn't get a picture of Michael that wasn't blurry. :(
Emma Lost a Tooth
Emma FINALLY lost a tooth!! She was so excited and proud! Now she has 3 more wigglin'.
It's so funny, because whenever one of the kids tells Scott about a loose tooth he says, "Oh my goodness! My kids are falling apart!" It makes the kids laugh and laugh!

Goofy Kid
On Sunday we were watching "Miracle on 34th Street". The kids were really into it, and the wide-eyed looks on their faces really cracked me up. I tried to get a picture, but as soon as the camera came out Katelynn had to go bonkers. I told her I was trying to get a picture of them with wide eyes, and this is what I got. Goofy kid...
Thanksgiving Readers Theater
The day before Thanksgiving they had a couple of things happening at the school. First, it was the Turkey Trot, where the kids are divided up by grade level and run a race. Michael got, I believe 6th or 8th place? among the boys. I'm not sure. He got knocked down, but he got right back up again and kept on running!
Later, they had the Thanksgiving Readers Theater, which was their little Thanksgiving play. It was pretty cute. I was grinning seeing my little Pilgrims and Indians up there!

Black Friday
On "Black Friday" I braved the madhouse that was Joann's Craft & Fabrics, with all three kids in tow, to get fabric to make the kids' Christmas PJs. It was CRAZY! The line to check out looped all the way around the store, and the wait for getting fabric cut was crazy, too. But, they had the snuggle flannel fabric on sale for $1.49 a yard! Plus, there was a coupon for an extra 25% off your whole purchase. Cha-ching! After Joann's we went to Barnes and Noble, where I picked up a few things. Much harder to buy gifts when the kids are with you. Ha ha! But, I had a worker put my little stash up at the registers for me, then told the kids to go look at the Angry Birds while I checked out. Sneaky, sneaky.
After B&N we grabbed some lunch from Fry's, then headed to the park to meet up with 2 other families we know with triplets. All the kids got along really well, and it was fun to have some girl talk. And, the weather was gorgeous! We were all in t-shirts! We miraculously were able to get all of us in the picture with almost everyone looking at the camera!

Chuck E. Cheese
The kids went to Kira's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Kira is a friend in Michael's class. It was Angry Birds themed, and her mom made an awesome cake for it. And, can I just say, Chuck E Cheese is a crazy place!! It's almost surreal! Anyway, the kids had a great time.
Michael's Lost Tooth
Michael lost a tooth at school. When he got home he kept taking it out of the little box to play with and show the girls. He ended up losing the tooth somewhere in the house. He was really bummed, 'cause he wanted to put it under his pillow and get some money. So, Scott & I suggested he write the Tooth Fairy a letter explaining what happened. Here is the letter he wrote.
Dear toufeari, I lost my tooth in the basroom today. So kand I have sum mune tonit. love Michael.
Translation: Dear Tooth Fairy, I lost my tooth in the bathroom today. So, can I have some money tonight? Love, Michael.
