Kailani's Winter Gala

This afternoon Jason and I went to KinderCare to watch Kailani's winter gala performance. The kids were all dressed in winter jackets, hats, and gloves. This was actually pretty funny since it was 80 degress today. The class sang Frosty the Snowman...except Kailani. For some reason she decided she didn't want to sing. Instead, she decided to cry and call out "mommy" the whole time. Last year she didn't sing the song either. Maybe next time...

No more free kids meals

Zachary tried on daddy's hat this morning:)
Tonight we went to Chick-fil-A for our weekly kids night dinner. The crafts haven't been too great ever since the new person took over for Ms. Joy, but tonight's craft was cute. Kailani made a turtle. We found out tonight that starting February 1, there will be no more free kids meals. One of the other Chick-fil-A restaurants stopped their free kids meals a while back, so I am not surprised. It still stinks, especially since we now get two kids meals.
Kailani and Jason have been spending some time together playing games and reading books. Tonight they played dominoes...Kailani was trying to teach Jason how to play. Then, Jason read her a few books before bedtime. After he went back downstairs, Kailani came over to me and said "I am going to miss daddy when he leaves again." It breaks my heart:( She is enjoying their time together.

Ballet and Tap

Tonight was Kailani's first ballet and tap class. She was supposed to be in a ballet class on Friday night, but due to budget cuts, the recreation centers have cut back on days and eliminated a lot of classes. I was able to switch Kailani to the Monday night class and she was really excited about the tap part of the class.

When class started, she became really shy and wouldn't participate. Finally, with about 15 minutes left, she started to participate. She is looking forward to the next class.

Tangled

This afternoon Kailani and I headed to the movies for a girls day out. It was the first weekend Tangled was in the base theaters. We don't go to the movies that often, but if we do, we try to wait until the movie is playing on base so it is free. It is expensive for a movie now a days. Kailani loved the movie and she enjoyed telling Jason all about it when we got home. It was a really cute movie.

Craft and Yogurt

This morning we headed to a meetup (hosted by us) at Lakeshore to do the free Saturday craft. Surprisingly, 14 moms showed up with kiddos! Lately attendance has been sparce at meetups. The kids make ice skates that the laced with a string. Even Zachary decorated one; his first time doing the craft.

After the craft, we all headed over to Yogurtland for a yummy treat:)
Kailani got to spend the afternoon bowling with Becky and the girls. She had a blast. She keeps talking about the bowling "finale" (alley).

A New Year, a New House

We got a call from our realtor today letting us know he got the official approval from the short sale department of the seller's bank. We are ready to move into escrow for the house! We're not in the clear yet because there is a lot more to do, but closing it tentatively set for February 11.

New Year's Day

To celebrate New Year's Day, Kailani decided to show off the brick hat she got at Legoland last night.
Becky and the kids game over to spend New Year's Day with us. The girls enjoy playing together. Kailani just gave Jaylynn a dress she grew out of and they posed for a "twin" picture.
