guenther journey: December 2013

Movie Night!

You would think by their expressions we were forcing them to watch a scary movie! It's just The Grinch. And, this was like the first 2 minutes of it. Riveting I guess... :)

We spent Thanskgiving at my Grandma Marlene's in Fairbury. When we got back to Lincoln the kids and I went to Applebee's for supper with Ashley and my Aunt Shari. They had a turkey dinner special! :) Then Ashley and I did some shopping and lots more on Black Friday. The highlight of the whole week was that Isaac and Luke came to spend the night! We were counting down all week and couldn't wait! Andy and Cassie's and all of their kids stayed, but of course Isaac and Luke are the most important! The dads watched all 6 kids on Friday while Cassie and I shopped for like 9 hours. It was great! Got all of my Christmas shopping done! Then we left that evening to go to Paul's parents for the rest of the weekend and for Isaac's 6th birthday party! Let's just say the kids had like the best weekend of their life. Playing nonstop together for 2 days straight and then a birthday party at the bowling alley!

Momentos from my mom

Last week the kids both got a little surprise momento that was my moms. They are the perfect things for them and they were SO excited!! Brynlee loves her Fancy Nancy doll and walks her all over the house. Grady could not stop yelling 'yes yes yes!' about the football and talked nonstop about playing like the Huskers. The only other football he had was a small sized one, so he was super excited to get a 'real' football!

Pick your own outfit day...everyday...

This girl is about ready to drive me crazy with her outfit pickiness! :) She has to wear a pretty dress or skirt every day. I don't know how many days last week she picked up what I had picked out and threw it into the hallway and told me no she is not wearing that she is wearing a pretty dress. One day she even threw the clothes I had picked out back in her room, shut the light off and then shut the door so I couldn't get to it again. Stinker!

I don't know why it even matters what she wears because every day when she gets to Kellan's she puts on a princess costume and wears it all day long.

This particular day was actually 'Jammie' day at Kellan's but she refused to wear them because she wanted clothes and it had to be a skirt. She is on a big tutu/skirt kick the last week or so, so she had to wear one that day and did not want to wear it over Jammie's, only her clothes.

So, this is the outfit she picked out that we compromised on. The first shirt choice she had was a red sparkly husker shirt and she did not want pants under her skirt.... Glad I at least won that one! :)

Girls! I love most of it so can't really complain. It just drives me crazy at 6:30 in the morning... :)

Disney Princesses Live!

Brynlee got to go to Disney Princesses Live in Omaha last weekend! What a dream come true and fun thing for all of the little girls there! I think almost every girl there had on a princess dress, costume, or some sort or tutu! It was perfect for little girls. Brynlee sat in awe, eyes never going away from the stage the entire time! My aunts Shari and Lori and I got to go and have a girls day with her! We had a fun lunch and then shopping after the show! Brynlee was in heaven with all of the girly things! And she even came home with a new super cute pink hat and some sparkly pink high top shoes!
