Nicole came to town Wednesday Night. It was exciting to see the girls and how excited they were to see their Auntie Coley! They love their Aunt a lot and she clearly (anyone who would deny that fact, would be nuts, since all they have to do is see how Nicole is with her Nieces, and now her Nephew!) loves them back.
Thursday was a long day. Nicole, Jenni, Julio, Andres (my nephew!) and I went to the store because I needed to get the girls Christmas Presents. So I actually made it under budget, which is a huge shock for me! Then Nicole finished up the girls Christmas dresses, which turned out very cute! Maybe if I bug her enough, she'll blog about the dresses!!
Then the girls and Auntie Coley helped me make Rice Crispy Treats! I made them in the Christmas colors, and then Auntie Coley helped Lizzie cut out the shapes. Kenna was really only interested in eating the treats, which I am sure she gets from her Auntie Coley! Then we enjoyed a nice meal of Bean and Veggie Stew (made especially so Aunt Coley could eat with us!)

Today was a rush of Auntie Coley finishing Kenna's dress, and me sitting the girls down to get Christmas Presents made. I had planned to make cookies today as well, but I guess that is something that we will have to save for either tomorrow or Monday.
After nap, I gave the girls a bath, washed their hair, and then got them dressed in the dresses that Auntie Coley made. They were so adorable! We even made little bands to place onto their headbands! Then the girls and I walked to the Church that is right next to our house. The church had so many nice people. They got us in almost right away.
First we had our picture taken, the girls got so many comments about their beautiful dresses. Then we (me and the wonderful lady who was our escort for the event) took the girls to another woman who would be watching them for a few moments. She read the girls a story and then after that she'd take them to a craft room until I was ready to pick them up. I was led up the stairs to some rooms where they had me pick out some toys for the girls. Kenna is getting one of those shape hammer and nail toys and a cute bear. And Lizzie is getting a build-your-own soccer bear and a Peter Pan doll.

I was then led back downstairs and was given some food. There was so much stuff in the bags I was completely amazed. A whole Chicken, stuffing, Chicken broth, Apple Pie, Spaghetti and Sauce, Two bags of Rice, Pinto Beans, Green Beans, Chips, Canned Sweet Potatoes, Homemade Sourdough, and Pita Bread. It was so humbling to know that these people could be so kind. I was grateful that Lizzie's school recommended us for this event!
Then I went to go pick up the girls. They were in a room, making Angels. They got to pick out their craft, and the lady said the angel was the first thing they went for! The girls get such an amazing job on the angels, that I punched some wholes into them, tied a string into it, and hung them on the tree!

The picture, I then copied and framed. I plan to give the picture to my husband as a Christmas Gift from me and the girls (I don't have to worry about him reading this, because he never does...haha). But I think he'll like the gift a lot! He'll be able to hang it right next to his computer! Even if the frame is a little girlie!
