Ready for the Holiday?

Okay, so I got a new camera, and figuring out the downloading DRIVES ME NUTS!! Argg...and in the middle of this, Chad decided to change the way he is filing things! Seriously...sometimes I wonder about his thought process....alas....
Yesterday we went to the parade down town. Well, minus Rory. He lost his coats (well, 2 of them) this past week, so his consequence for not bringing them home was no parade, and no TV this week. Paige and I thought about running the Jingle Bell Run, but haven't been feeling well, so we just skipped it. We will next year. Promise!
Parade was good, forgot my camera, and boy, was it COLD!! I should have worn my Sorel's. My feet were FREEZING!!
We went to Walmart (hate the place, but they had most of what I needed) to get some Christmas organizers, ect. Then hurried home to change for the ballet. We were going to do dinner, but people were busy, so next year!
Piper, Amber, Paige and I went to the Nutcracker....beautiful dresses!! Grandma, maybe we can have Christmas Dresses early for this occasion? Oh well, it was super fun, and a great first ballet.
After, Amber had some things to do, so we called Chad and Rory and had them meet us at McMinnemum's. Yummy--and it was warm inside.
After that, the kids kept saying they didn't feel good. Oh boy....
This AM, Rory didn't feel good, and got in our bed, and I kept saying, if you barf in here.....HE DIDN'T!! Yeah!! He didn't barf at all, though we all wanted to.
Stayed home from church, he laid on the couch and snoozed a bit, Paige got in a bit of trouble and was sent to her room for a minute. She then passed out at 5:30 and is still asleep 3 hours later. Wondering how she is feeling?
Made some more cookies. Will need to make more, Chad's been eating the ones I made and put away a bit ago. Dang that boy! How will neighbors get some goodies??? Geez!!
Hoping to put up some decorations, but only lights came out of the shed today. Maybe tomorrow....
