Singing, Spelling, Sleeping and Snow

What a super busy week we have had! Between my class final and all the activities in the month of December, I have had barely enough time to sleep. I just started my shopping yesterday for the kids. Mitch has been off since Thursday and wont go back to work until next Saturday. He will work the weekend and then be off for the whole week of Christmas! So happy about that. He has saved up his time off to spend with us during this special time of year. This past week Aubrie had her school Christmas music program and sang a few solo lines. She also had her piano recital and played Hark! The Herald Angels sing on the piano and then sang the song she sang in church today. She sounded so pretty and angelic up there in sacrament. I think its so awesome that she isnt even afraid to get up there and do that. Our bishop said it brought tears to his eyes and that he really enjoys having her sing for the ward. I tried to record it yesterday when she practiced but my phone is out of memory space- Its so time for a new one. Aubrie has been so busy sharing her talents and doing what she enjoys. I am so blessed to be her mom. She brings so much joy to our lives.

 

 Aubrie had won her class spelling bee and was able to represent her class in the school spelling bee. That was held on Thursday. It was for grades 3-5 and there was 36 kids that participated. Out of the 36 kids, Aubrie was the last 3rd grader and finished 8th overall. Her word she couldnt spell right was covetous. I dont think I could have spelt that right either Aubs. You did amazing and I am super proud!

I love this little girl. Brynley fell asleep in the ottoman watching TV the other night. I love how tiny she is. Such a tiny girl but such big personality and sweetness about her.

Monkey #3, Carly keeps me on my toes. She has actually been fighting a yucky cold but since it snowed a ton here the past few days, I bundled her up and she went outside to play in the snow and sled down the hill with the older kids. She toughed it out a long time and when she came in she said "Snow is crazy." I love this crazy girl!
