The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 20

Today our “special thing” was peppermint milkshakes. I went out and got all the girls peppermint milkshakes – except Sarah. Sarah is very picky about what she eats and drinks and milkshakes are not on her list of desirable drinks. So, I got her something else. All the girls were in agreement that they wanted to try the shakes and every single one of them agreed they were delicious. So, simple and easy.

Bethany also sang at a nursing home this afternoon. Michael was playing a Christmas concert for the residents and ask if Bethany could sing, as he thought everyone would really enjoy her singing a few Christmas carols. She was nervous to go, but ended up being glad she went. I am glad she got the opportunity to do that as she loves to sing, but can be reluctant in new places. It was good for her and Michael said she was a real hit with everyone.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 19

Today started off really nice with mild temperatures so I thought it would be a good day to take the girls skating for our “special thing.” Everyone definitely agreed on that and so we all went skating – most of my girls and Evelyn and Liam and a friend of mine went to keep me company while I just stood and watched. What seemed to be a great day to skate ended up being very cold and since we were just sitting and watching it was much colder to us than the skaters. After an hour or so John and Juliana joined us and got all of us hot chocolate, pizza and cake. It was a very nice evening and we all enjoyed it -except for the cold. Bethany and Tess were really happy as they haven’t skated in about a month now and were really wanting to go. Evelyn said she’s going to ask her dad for skating lessons since Liam gets to play baseball.
