Best time of year

Monkey is done with his first semester of Optometry school!!!!!! I was am so excited...He did absolutely amazng!! we had a party!!! We ate way too much and had chocolate cake hot chocolate. Monkey didn't even know what to do with himself... All he has been doing for the past semester is studying like 24/7! So when he had free time he didn't know what to do with himself. It has been so wonderful to have him home. The kids love it,Monkey is chasing them or crawling after them or something!! It sounds like I have a zoo in my house. Then Saturday night our good friends Cali and Makay came over and we had a Ginger bread house decorating party... hahah Makay and Cali are so much fun we didn't stop laughing the whole night. We played the best game called Imagine iff... my favorite game! It was such a great night. Then last night we had our family christmas sleepover. We went and played at the new McDonalds because all it does is rain here. But we had a blast! Belle made friends with this older boy and the were chasing each other everywhere... it was hialrious!!!! Then we drove around looking at Christmas lights... then we pulled our bed out and watched Santa Clause is coming to town! What a week so far! I can't believe Christmas is this week. Where did the time go!? It seems that everytime I look... Belle is under the Christmas tree admiring the lights. This Sunday for Christmas Sunday the kids looked so cute. I was pretty proud of them as usual! I am just so grateful for my kids and my husband... and just everyone!
Well we head off the Monkey's house for Christmas on Thursday... and we are so excited and ready for a break! Merry Christmas everyone!
