Today, was the kick-off for Christmas in our house. Now don't get me wrong, we're not like the crazy Christmas people who start decorating in October. But we do start planning and buying. We partook in the annual Moose Jaw tradition, Christmas in October. For us, it's an annual tradition as well. We've been attending the past five or six years. All of the boutique type stores, located in downtown Moose Jaw, are decked out in their Christmas finery. The pinnacle of these being Yvette Moore's gallery. It also provides the first chance for the girls to find their special Christmas ornament. Rebekah was able to find hers, a beautiful crystal butterfly.
At this point in our lives, taking the girls to this event is hectic and even frustrating at times. It's hard for them to go places with so many beautiful things and not touch. However, Rebekah, for the most part, did really well. Chloe was hauled out of a few stores by her father. It's hard when you don't have a nap. I feel that way sometimes too :) Even though it's difficult at this stage, we know that the time is worth it. Eventually, this will be a tradition that our girls come to love and will look forward to every year.
Yesterday, we spent the day at home. We, originally, were planning on heading to the pumpkin farm; however, it was rainy and cold. Glynn took Rebekah to the doctor in the afternoon. She has an ear infection and needed medication. I got to spend the afternoon scrapbooking. Last night, even though she didn't feel great, Rebekah still wanted to see Cornerstone's production of Little Women. She's been waiting for weeks. She went to her first musical last year, when we saw Annie and absolutely loved it. However, she declared this years, "the best ever".
