Another Fun Tradition

The girlz found Darby hiding in the Christmas Tree this morning.  It took us a while to find her... they were getting nervous there had been one too many meltdowns and Darby had decided to stay with Santa instead.


But we found her, just as we were walking out the door to church.  Whew!

After church we took the girlz to see the Coleman Collection.  We hadn't been since Cassidy was three and Campbell was a zygote.  It seems like forever ago!


We had a fantastic afternoon and Campbell really surprised me - she hasn't had a nap since last Tuesday and was still able to keep up without melting down.  The Coleman Collection was just as wonderful as ever, and I LOVE that these displays are now part of our kid's childhood memories.  I have precious memories of going to see these same displays at Coleman's Nursery with Pop decades ago.

We made a few crafts after visiting the displays.  Campbell made an ornament...

And Cassidy made an origami Christmas Tree.

We walked over to the Children's Museum afterward and the remodeling efforts were certainly worthwhile.  It's TERRIFIC.  It's so good, we started batting around the idea of letting our zoo membership go and becoming members there instead.

We put the girlz to bed about an hour early tonight and there were no complaints.  It's been a fun holiday weekend, but I'm looking forward to getting back into our normal routine tomorrow morning!
