Merry Christmas!!

 

 

Happy Birthday to Lexi!

Lexi celebrated her 11th birthday on Wednesday.  She had a pretty great day.  It was the last day of school before the break and so we brought moowiches in for her class.  I brought her subway for lunch.  After school she had a ginormous bday party with a million friends at a pizza restaurant here in Lynden.  After the party, her cousins came and partied the rest of the night with her and spent the night.  Quite a day for a terrific girl.

Christmas kick-off

Every year we start our Christmas season with the Windermere party.  It is always the first Saturday in December along with the lighted Christmas parade in Lynden and the championship high school football game for Lynden high school, which they usually play in because Lynden is so awesome.  We have not been to the parade for ten years now.  Last year we skipped the game and listened to it on the radio.  This year we decided to go to the game and leave early to make it back for the party.  It was one of our good friend's son's last game.  With help from awesome family, who kept our kids at the game and then drove them back to Lynden for us, we were able to pull it off.  We changed very quickly at the Windermere office, but made it in plenty of time to the party.  It was a great night and we had a lot of fun.

I can't even imagine...

what it would be like to get a phone call to see if my child was waiting for me at the fire hall across the street from their school or shot down by a killer.  I am so tired of people killing people.  And maybe that sounds funny, but my goodness.  Movie theaters, malls, schools....where can you go nowadays and not worry that someone isn't going to open fire on you or your loved ones.  These were kindergartners that were killed today.  That's Hallies age.  I can't believe that someone would be able to walk into a room and have that much evil in them to do something like that.  Innocent children.  I feel sick for the families of the victims.  I can't even imagine.

Help We're Surrounded
