Christmas Eve Eve

To try to cut down on some of the Christmas craziness, we exchanged gifts with David's family on Thursday night. His mom makes the most amazing pepperoni bread so I was VERY excited when she suggested that for dinner. For many Christmas' Brent and Ryleigh have been the only little ones around so it was really nice to have Alex, Alexis and Logan be here and share it with them. After all was said and done, we figured we would gift David's parents a break and let the kids spend the night. Logan liked his gift from us so much that he even brought it with him! I'm so glad they are here to make some special memories.

Rye's class x-mas party



This was the first year since Ryleigh started school that I didn't have to split my time between 2 classrooms. With Brent being in intermediate now, I did not receive an invitation to join in on their class festivities...guess his age group is too big for that! It was nice though to be able to give all of my attention to just one of them and really be in that moment for just them. Before I know it, there won't be any classroom parties to attend :'(

What's to argue with?



So sitting on the counter this morning is a note from Brent. It appears that his homeroom teacher must have given them an assignment to write a letter to your parents about something you would like. Here is what my child wrote:

Dear Mom and Dad,

You should get me an iPad. It is very cool You can play games and other stuff. Here are some reasons you should buy it for me:

I get awesome grades. I do all my homework. I always get A's and I do my best on a test.

I would do more chores. I would dust. I wouldn't forget about chores. I would be faster at them.

I would be nice to my sister. I would help her clean her room. I would play with her more. I would let her do more stuff with me.

So, as you can see, there are lots of benefits. I would be very happy with it and you like that I get good grades, right? Ya, you do.

Love,
Brent

What can I say? He's got some good points...on the other hand, in NO WAY am I buying him a $500 toy, nice try though!
