pre-Christmas party

Right before Christmas, the lady that takes Seth to school backed into on of my daycare kids' car with our van.  Our van is really banged up, so an extra scratch doesn't bother me, but the damage to the other car will be $650 to fix.  Luckily my friend said that she'd pay for it out of pocket so it doesn't ding our insurance.  Whoops.  I think it was actually all three of our responsibility.  If I had texted my friend 15 minutes earlier to make sure she was on time instead of running late, they wouldn't have been there at the same time.  The daycare mom shouldn't have parked behind my van, but why would it be pulling out when I'm watching kids in the house?  She wasn't there when my friend walked out and got into my van, but my friend should have checked the mirror before backing out.  Perfect storm.


These guys have been the cutest buddies.  They go everywhere together and play all sorts of things.  Computer, board games, dolls, etc.... Seth told me that he wished that he had an "American boy doll" so that he could pretend to be Harry Potter and Evelyn could be Hermione.


After Margaret, Jim and James all dipped leftovers from the chocolate party, we finished dipped what would go bad and bagged it all up.  Ada especially had fun.  I think that she's going to follow in Dad and Grandpa's footsteps.



On Christmas Eve, Grandma Robertson had her last Chemo treatment.  She still has her 2 surgeries and her radiation, but I think that the hardest part is behind.  To celebrate, we had a little sing in.  We sang out of the same music book that we do every year.  I suggested that we Sing Hey Hey Ho for Grandma and Jer absolutely refused.... so there's that.  We're so glad that Judy's doing so well.  I'm sure she doesn't feel like she is at the moment, but I think she looks very strong and healthy for having just been through two rounds of chemo!  Her friend said that her hair should start growing back in about 3 weeks, so I'm sure that she's excited for that.  My daycare kids had RSV going around, so we stayed away from Grandma and Walter for the last 2 weeks.  (I was really sad to miss the Hansen's Christmas party at their new house, but I just had a friend whose 12 year old died from complications from the flu.... his colon died and he passed away right after surgery.  That made me want to be extra cautious with both Grandma and Walter.  We love you guys enough to stay away!)
