Nice day

 We had a nice day.  We went up to Karen's place and decorated for Christmas.  It was a lot of fun.  Karen was so sweet and pulled out all of Santa to see what was there.  It was nice to see what was there.  We came home after dinner and just vegged.  Dad isn't feeling 100 percent.  He wears out really easy.  Rachel that is cool about plum pudding.  I am really impressed.  That is cool your tried that.  I am glad Oliver can ride his bike without training wheels.  That was easy.  I was planning on getting Ruth a bike for her birthday.  She does need a bigger bike for sure.  Well not much else going on with me.  I am slowly getting done with shopping and checking things off the list.  Still adding a little bit to it but I am doing well.  Have a really nice Sunday.  There is no snow in the mountains.  It is weird.  LOVE MOM

 Thanks for the santa pictures Mom.  It looks so.good and I think we are ready for Christmas.  We had a good day.  I slept in till 8 which was nice.  Isaac has been wanting to make plum pudding all week and I said we could today.  I don't know where he got the idea but he said it is a traditional Christmas dish.  I couldn't find most of the ingredients at the store so we went to natural grocery and they had most of it.  We had to made candied fruit peels which took two hours.  Then we steamed the plum pudding for two hours.  It took all day to make but it tasted really good.  It is a cake and has no plums in it.  We all really liked it.Casey tires have been bad.  He found a tire at the dump and we were going to put it in but it was the wrong size.  So we ended up buying him new tires today.  He really needed them.  Oliver wanted to ride bikes last night at sun for santa but he hasn't learned yet.  So we suggested going to the bike park so he could learn in the parking lot.  He was so upset and didn't eat to do it.  When we got there he was able to ride in a couple tries and he loved it.  He was riding all over the place.  Isaac did the bike course and had fun.  Ruth's bike was too small and see isn't ready for no training wheels.  We had a really fun time.  Isaac said costa vida sounded good so we stopped and had dinner there.  I am glad Oliver learned how to ride bikes.  He was so cute riding around. Love you guys.

 Today was good.  I walked and went to exercise class which was really nice.  We met Casey for lunch and that was fun to see him.  We were able to get Ruth's costume for her recital and I got tickets so we can watch it.  We walked to pick up the boys.  I brought treats so we could work with Tony and he did better.  Ruth fell and scraped her knee so I had to carry her all the way to school and back with her crying.  Oliver was sad after school because his friend at recess was fighting with someone and they had to go to the principal's office so Oliver couldn't play with him.  Oliver wasn't involved in the fighting he was sad his friend had to leave.  Everyone at school is watching the Mandalorioan so we started watching it.  Baby yoda is cute.  We had a quick dinner and went down and helped clean bikes for Sub for Santa.  The kids were wild but they tried to help.  We got all but four bikes fixed.  We stopped and got ice cream on the way home.  Love you guys and have a good weekend.  I forgot to put the pictures on yesterday.  They are the first two.  Tony had been getting into the legos so we moved them up high and opened them on the table this morning.  It worked better.  The kids are loving them.  Thanks Karen.  Ruth laying on the couch is after she hurt her knee and is resting it.
