The Christmas program at church (postponed a week because of weather) was hilarious. Eliana knew every line, every place she was supposed to be, and every dance step. Olivia forgot many things because she was so enamored with having an AUDIENCE. She kept stopping to pose. And then there was Corbin. He was perfect during the rehearsal. Then he got on stage and ... well, you'll see. Enjoy.

Snow Days
We had a lovely/horrible week of snow and ice ... the first batch of snow was tons of fun for the kids, but then we had yucky ice, and by the time we got more snow, Steven was so sick and we were struggling so hard to keep the house warm that nobody went out in it the second time, even though the snow was better. But I think the first time was enough!
Playing Games
Today is my "catching up on blogging" day ... so hopefully you'll get lots of glimpses into what this vacation has been for us.
Corbin and I have a breakfast tradition. We have breakfast early (usually cheerios these days) and then after my shower (or after we drop the girls off at school on school days), we make our "second breakfast" of eggs and potatoes. Corbin was a little hungry today, and while I was making the eggs, he devoured all of his potatoes and was asking for more. And he's been asking for more potatoes all morning, even though he ate half of mine with his eggs. He really likes fried potatoes.
While we were making breakfast, the girls were playing UNO Attack! There are a few extra cards with UNO Attack, and Eliana asked me what a certain card was. I told her it meant that you could lay down all of your cards of a certain color. She thinks about it for a minute and then says, "I don't think I want to do that, because then I'd win and it would hurt Olivia's feelings. Olivia, I'll just skip you instead."
A little while later I hear her say, "I think that might be cheating, but we can do it anyways if we want to." and Olivia replies, "Yeah. It is my game, so we can cheat whenever we want!"
They seem to lack a competitiveness sometimes... but in a really good way! After lunch they were playing go fish. Olivia had all her cards laid out on the table, and Eliana says, "Ask me for this one, Olivia, and I'll give it to you!"
