Sea World Christmas 2010

The Monday before Christmas we took Russell's Mom, Lara, & Adrianna to SeaWorld. They were having their Holiday in the Park so we thought it would be fun to take them since they had never been. They had Polar Express in 4D which is a condensed version of the movie in 3D and then they spray you with water and make your chair vibrate and blow wind on you so it feels like you are in it. Kennadee is a huge fan of Polar Express it is her all time favorite Christmas movie so we thought she would absolutely love it but I made the mistake of saying "we're going to go down" (meaning it was going to feel like we were going down since it was in 3D) When the train goes down the big hill so the entire time she thought that we were actually going to fall down so she was really scared. When we got out of the movie she said "I don't think I will watch Polar Express for the rest of the Christmas Season" And she didn't! I felt so bad. At the end of the day she did say she wanted to go back and try the movie again but it was too late. Maybe next year!
     Lara and I convinced my Mother-in-law to ride on the roller coasters with us she was scared but I think she had fun in the end. Russell and I rode a roller coaster and he lost his contact! Oops!! Which meant that roller coaster ride cost us 187.00 Grr!!
  They had all sorts of fun shows, Shamu, A Christmas Sesame Street play, and our favorite show Azul. We went to all of them. They also had Christmas Lights and lots of fun decorations. Overall we had a pretty good time!!

Church Christmas Party

We had our Christmas Party at church the Friday before Christmas. They had desserts (I didn't have a single one) And then we sang Christmas songs and a few people sang solos/duets/group songs for us and all the kids got up and sang for us as well. And after that there was a visit from Santa. It was a pretty fun party.

Kennadee's Class Holiday Party

I went and volunteered at Kennadee's class Holiday Party the Friday before Christmas break. First they did a jingle bell walk in the freezing cold wind and all the little Kindergartners were freezing and crying it was horrible. Then we went in and had lunch and then we had the party.       They got to decorate sugar and gingerbread cookies and some of the parents brought other treats so they ate sugar to their hearts content. One of the little girls in the class actually threw up because she ate too much sugar poor thing! Here are some pics of the fun:

Kennadee's Kindergarten Nutcracker Performance

Last night was Kennadee's first school performance. She did so great! She was really nervous but she did it anyway. It was so fun to watch her. I am trying to upload the video but it's not working so I will post it when I can. Here are some pics of her with her classmates after the performance.
