Our friends from college were in Flagstaff at the same time we were so we got together for some playtime. The kids loved playing with Eve.

The Polar Express

Nate’s class watched the Polar Express movie at school last Friday and they got to wear their pajamas and bring a pillow and blanket to school. Nate was so excited to wear his jammies to school! Ellie also wanted in on the excitement and put on jammies to wear to drop off Nate at school. Even Daddy wore his jammies and slippers to drop Nate off at school. When Nate got off the bus he had grown reindeer antlers and a red nose!

Sweet

Nate and Ellie get to stay in Flagstaff with Oma and Opa next week and Nate wanted to know if baby Eve was also going to stay. We said no she wasn’t going to stay. You could see his brain working and he came up with this “They sell sweet milk at the store for baby Eve so she can stay too.” He really likes his baby sister.

My (Mandy) mom always made these quick sugar cookies for my teachers in elementary school. We made some for Nate’s teacher. The kids loved decorating them with sprinkles.
