Ho Ho Ho! Christmas is coming! The girls school had a Christmas event on Thursday this past week, as well as the book fair right before it! We had a fun time at both, and there was a nice sign out front to greet us on our way.
I caught Grayson reading a Christmas favorite story, A Very Snowy Christmas. It feel like it's been a long time since we've read it, but it's about some mice celebrating Christmas, and it snows, and they make cheese pies, and when Brooke was around Grayson's age she spent a December saying "they're making pie cheese!" Pretty good book, even better memories.
Monica and the kids met the Ellers at the park after school one day this past week. It appears everyone had a great time together, and I'm very grateful they all got together to play.
I headed in to work on Wednesday morning. It had been... a while, but hey, that means my knee is doing better. The train was all decorated for Christmas, which was pretty awesome, and they were even doing a thing at the Leander station. The mayor got on and gave me a candy cane too, so that was pretty cool.
Jelly's fur has gotten matted again, which means we needed to find a groomer. In the past we went to a groomer at our vet, but out here we just saw a groomer close by our house and went there. They were awesome, and they even gave Jelly a bath! I asked how she did with the water, and they said she meowed a bunch, but otherwise was good. They couldn't blow dry her because she did NOT like that, which doesn't surprise me, but other than being a little wet she was great when I picked her up! So it's nice to know we know where a good groomer is again. We also didn't have to give her any medicine this time, and it seems like she was good for the shaving.
Thursday we went to the school, and first stop was the book fair. The kids all picked out a book to keep, and a book to donate as well. Right outside there was a photo op spot, and Grayson threw on a convincing disguise for his mug shot. Unfortunately for him, even with that great disguise, he'll still be recognized by his socks with sandals.
Right after the book fair was a Christmas event at the school. We headed to the cafeteria for some cookies and lemonade, and made a few crafts. Then, on our way to the next room we passed... Woody the Wildcat. I don't know what the mascot's name really is, but I was a wildcat in high school, and our mascot was Woody. The girls took a picture, but Grayson was a bit more nervous. In the next room we got in a line to pick up a kit to make flower planters, and then left because it was getting late. Everyone had a good time though
We worked on getting our house decorated for Christmas over the weekend. Monica made this lovely wreath, and I put up a bunch of lights... which we didn't take a picture of. There are still more lights to put up, so maybe I'll get a picture this week once I'm done.
Saturday night we headed out sub for Santa shopping. The kids had a lot of fun walking the aisles and picking things out that they would have loved, and so knew someone else would love too! I even grabbed a few things that, if I am being honest, would probably still play with today.
