For Christmas Mom and I were able to fly out to Visalia, California and stay with Missy, Jathan, Paige, Clay, and Drew. What a great trip. We were there for a week and had a wonderful time. Much of the time we were able to just stay around the house and play.
We always have to do a funny face picture
Paige and Missy (the girls) organized Paige's new football cards...
While Jathan and the boys played with Paige's new Polly Pocket PoolAs some of you know my kitchen is decorated in the coffee theme. I have coffee mugs above the cabinets. They are all mugs from places I have been. Well Missy and I have tried to find a mug that was from Visalia. We have not been able to find a nice one. So with Missy's help we came up with a plan to have the kids each paint a mug for me. So on one of the days Mom, Missy, and I all took the kids to Clay Cafe in Visalia to paint mugs. As part of their Christmas from me they each got to pick another item of their choice to paint for themselves. We had a great time. I think Drew
got a little more paint on himself than the pottery, but who cares.
Clay painting his truck
Drew Painting his robot (He was not as happy about it when he found out it was not to play with since it is breakable)
Paige and I - Paige is painting the mug she made for me
For the past few months Missy and Jathan have been adding on to their house and while we were there they got the okay from inspectors to move things in. So we helped move furnature in and did a little shopping to decor (such as towels, rugs, plants, and bathroom accessories). The room is really nice!!! However I am not sure I will go back next Christmas. This Christmas I was put to work moving in furniture and last Christmas I was put to work building a playground. (Okay I will go back)
