A Nightly Ritual

Emilee's favorite movie is Barbie's Princess and the Pauper. Almost every night she has to do her own performance and dance around singing the song. She is such a delight and of course we think she is adorable! She is also wearing her favorite nightgown with the princesses on it. She goes through times when she wants to wear it every night and so I have to sneak it to wash it. If it's not dry by bedtime I get in big trouble. She is definitely our little princess.

The A&W Bear

Ashlee's class earns parties for good behavior. The kids make suggestions for parties and vote on them. Ashlee suggested a Rootbeer Float Party and it won. She really wanted her dad to take the rootbeer so when he suggested that he bring the "A&W Bear", I knew I was going to get to wear it! It was horrible. Even though it was winter, it was so hot in that thing I about died. I literally had sweat running down my face and there was nothing I could do, I couldn't even wipe my brow. Troy wanted me to go to Derek and Jaxon's classes too and pass out free rootbeer coins. It about killed me to walk all over the school in that thing. The kids loved it, though, so I guess it was worth it.

Emilee is always doing high five, knuckles, noggin, and "dude" with her big brothers. On Christmas Eve, she got Santa in on the action:
