The Growing Caldwell Family

Aaron was able to trade in his VW due to the TDI debacle. He researched for several months, spent many days test driving vehicles, and narrowed it down to a couple. Then, Hyundai announced their incentive for VW drivers and he re-thought the whole thing! He brought me along to buy one and we came home with something different! I love his choice and it has been great for us! The kids loved car shopping and are happy with the Santa Fe!

Some mornings I enjoy the few minutes we spend in carpool line! Spirit wear Friday's put them in a fun mood! For all the mornings that feel hurried and hectic, there are some of these that feel fun and enjoyable.

SG enjoys singing and has learned a lot being in choir. She is enjoying having her friend Jillian from school in choir. Even after a sleepover at a friend's she did well!

Sarah Graves kicked off the Thanksgiving break by having a fun sleepover with her friends, Lauryn and Olivia. They really enjoyed playing with their dolls together, performing in fashion shows, baking cookies, and making crafts. 

I had a fun time going to pre-k with Charlie to celebrate Thanksgiving. They did a full Thanksgiving meal and then made a pilgrim mask as their craft.  He is so cute and loves on me so when I go to his school events! It makes it worth all the juggling that takes place so I can be there.

After the fun run we went to a nice event that the Methodist church hosts called Hands on Christmas. For a small fee you buy tickets for kids to make little crafts to decorate with for the holidays or give as gifts. All 3 kids had fun doing it. When we got home, Charlie wanted to do a little more, so we found a cute printable craft online to make. He enjoyed making his Santa ornament and was quite pleased to hang it on the tree!

I am so behind on here! It took a lot to get ready for the holidays and I just couldn't fit everything in! I decided to save blogging for when I had time to really do it! So, back in November we went to the kids' fun run at school! Livy came with us, too! Sissy and her good buddy, Caroline. Sissy, Jillian, and Caroline A little time to play on the playground before the race! Just goofing around with his favorite cousin. Charlie and his buddy, Miles. Catherine, Miles, and Charlie ready for warmups! Just climbing around waiting for the big kids to have their races. Showing off her tattoo and St. B's sunglasses. After last year's 2nd place finish, Sissy gave it her all! She didn't place, but she had fun trying. Charlie was pretty excited to get his medal! Sissy was disappointed she didn't place, but she handled it well and was pleased with her medal for participating.  We had fun seeing school ...
