Decorating Christmas cookies

On Wednesday, we went over to Tia Lindsay's house to have a Christmas cookie decorating party. Eva, Sofia, Caroline, and Clayton had a great time eating the frosting and sprinkles. But were still able to decorate some yummy cookies

First Day of school!

Today, the girls started at Alphonsus Academy and Center for the Arts. They are attending a Tots program on Thursday from 8-10am with me. It is a way to introduce them to a school atmosphere before they actually start pre-school next year. Even though I was with them, I still got emothional driving over to the school. I can't believe how fast my babies are growing up. They had a great time in class today, and it will be fun to see

how they development throughout the school year.

Family Cubs game

On Wednesday Rick, me, the girls, Nona, Nono, and Tia Vanessa went to the cubs game. It had been years since my parents had been to a game. When we were young we would go all the time, so I thought it was well over due we go again as a family. Of course this time with a couple more additions to the family. Unfortunately, the Cubs lost, BUT we had a great time!
