Frozen

Mark and I took the kids to see the new Disney movie Frozen on Saturday.  It was a really good movie, the girls really, really, really liked it.  Colton did great considering it was longer than 30 minutes. They had a bucket of popcorn and lots of coke to keep them satisfied too.  After the movies, we did a little more Christmas shopping and then we came home to make Christmas cookies.  They also had hot chocolate with whip cream and marshmallows and we watched the Muppets Christmas Carol.  They loved it.  Hayden's class is going on a field trip Wednesday to the Alliance theatre to see A Christmas Carol so her teacher has been reading it to her class.  She can tell you every thing that is going to happen before it does.  I guess that makes her an excellent listener at school.  She tends to have what I call selective hearing with me!!! 

There are only 8 more days until Christmas, in case you were wondering.  If you are in doubt just call Hayden and Gracie they can fill you in.  They are so excited.  It makes me so excited watching them.  They squeal every time they see another present under the tree with their name on it.  They also shake them all to see if they can guess what it is.  Even though they are excited about the presents, they also understand other important parts of Christmas.  This morning they were talking and they made me heart melt and put a smile on my face.  Hayden said that she loves Christmas because she gets to spend it with her family.  Gracie of course said she liked the present part but that she knew it was baby Jesus' birthday.  I love them so much.  I can't wait to see what Colton thinks this year.  I see him being like the Tasmanian devil opening present after present.  He is going to be amazed with it all. 

Mark and I already have every thing we could ever wish for.  We are so lucky that we get to be the Mommy and Daddy of 3 of the most wonderful kids in the world.  They are all 3 loving, caring, healthy and full of happiness.  They are truly the best gifts in the world. 

Chipper and Snowflake are still up to no good!  Hayden doesn't even open her eyes good in the mornings before she is looking for them.
