Happy 4th Birthday Audrey

Every week is getting busier than the one before! On Wed, Dec 10th, we celebrated Audrey's birthday by getting donuts before school. She took some for her class to enjoy. During the middle of the night that night, Audrey woke up with a fever. I took her and Matthew to the doctor and she tested positive for step throat. Matthew was fine but insisted he was 'sick' so that's why I kept him home. I told him to out his school uniform on because I figured he would be well enough to go to school after the appointment but when I asked the doctor to write a note for his school, they couldn't because the computer system was only set up for Audrey's name since the appointment was for her. I just kept him home. It was easier that way. Mimi came into town later Thursday and the kids were excited to pick her up. Audrey started feeling better as soon as we started the antibiotics.

On Friday, we went to a live nativity scene at a nearby church. We go every year and the kids love it...face painting, petting zoo, cookie decorating, and play. We went to breakfast on Saturday Angelas and then on to the festivities. Audrey had a ballet recital at her school but she ended up napping in the car at that time so she missed it. We let her sleep since the more important event was yet to come- her long awaited birthday party. She has been asking about it since October. She woke up with lots of energy in time and had a blast at a gymnastics place with all her friends. They played frozen music and she wore her ballet outfit since she was wearing it for her recital that she never made.
And then on Sunday, we went to church together and took a nap because of the rainy weather and we were exhausted. Andy and Mimi headed to Houston. I dropped off Matthew at a birthday party at his favorite spot, Lil Ninjas, while Audrey and I went to a Miracle on 34th Street play at the Dallas Childrens Theater. Later that night we hosted dinner at our house for some friends. It was nice to have company over while Andy was gone.
