Brylee's Christmas Open House & Brant's Birthday!

Every year, Brylee's preschool hosts an Open House for Christmas. The children sing songs for the parents and present a gift. Brylee did so much better than last year. She wouldn't even sing last year; she actually sang and participated! I loved the gift she gave us. It was a jar of cookie mix with her handprint on the jar in the shape of a Christmas tree. After they sang, they had their Christmas party. I then had to go back to work, but thankfully, Bryan was off and was able to get ready for Brant's 7th Birthday Party that evening. After Brylee's Open House, she went home with Bryan's parents so Bryan could get ready for Brant's campout. He also went to Brant's classroom and brought a treat for the class to celebrate his 7th birthday. Brant also got special permission to touch our elves, Ralphie & Christopher. They came to school that day, too! That night, we had Brant a campout. We even borrowed a 12 ft inflatable screen & projector to watch movies. It was pretty cold that night, we had fire pits going, and we set the tent up in the garage. Well, we ended up having 10 boys come and spend the night. Bryan & I felt like we had lost our minds to host this event, but it all ended up fine. It was a long night, though. We had one kid get sick, and they finally went to sleep at 1 AM. The next morning, I ran to Shipley's for donuts around 7:30. After the last kid left, we celebrated because - We SURVIVED the campout! After the party, Brant opened his gifts from us, and later, headed to meet all the grandparents, Aunt Layla, Uncle Chip, & Aunt Ginger at Mi Toro's, Brant's favorite restaurant. Brant got brought the sombrero and was sang to! After, we headed back for more gifts and cake. Mim & Pop's dog, Buster, even came!
