Santa's Winter Wonderland!!

Oh yes it's ladies night....that's what I was singing Saturday night. My friend Alyssa is moving to Cali so we decided to have a ladies night. The kids went over to Keisa's for a sleepover. Michael kept them all, all SIX of them!! Big-ups to you Michael!! So Keisa, Alyssa and I got dressed all pretty and started out with something to eat. We went to Chili's. Alyssa had chicken tacos. Keisa and I had a sampler plate. I was not impressed with my food. I have been to Chili's many times and I love it but not this time. My chicken was cold. Luckily I had some Jamaican Paradise to keep me in good spirits. THE BEST DRINK EVER!! After dinner we headed out to a club called the Ultra Lounge. Our friends Sam and Yvonne met us there. It was a good time!! After that Keisa and I went back to Keisa's house and I joined my boys on the couch for some sleep.



Today our housing had a Santa's Winter Wonderland day. It was at an indoor iceskating rink. The kids were very excited. There were crafts, pizza, nachos, brownies, soda, hot chocolate, ice skating and Santa!! Deja didn't want to make any crafts but the boys made Candy Cane Reindeer and some Reindeer dust.


Then we ate. After that we got in line to get our skates. Jalen decided to just watch and eat of course. So Deja, Tayveon, and I got our skates on and headed out.



I was so nervous. It was VERY scary. I was more nervous about Tayveon falling. I can skate a little on my own but Tayveon was slipping all around. But Deja did AWESOME. She wasn't scared at all and this was her first time. Before I knew it she was flying around the rink. I couldn't believe it. She was so proud.






She offered to take Tayveon but I just couldn't let go of his hand. I was sooo scared to let him go. He wanted to go at first but I just couldn't let him. So I talked him out of it. I know that's not really what a parent should do but I just couldn't let go of his hand. I was just too scared. So Tay and I traded our skates back in for our shoes and headed off to see Santa. Deja stayed on the ice. Jalen was not at all interested in going to see Santa. He was just interested in pizza and brownies. Tayveon stood in line and anxiously waited for his turn with Santa. Finally it was his time. He took a picture with Santa and told Santa that he would like a spiderman toy for Christmas. Santa said he would see what he could do and gave Tayveon a goodie bad. Well when Tayveon showed up with that goodie bag, Jalen had a quick change of heart. He wanted a goodie bag so he decided to go ahead and get his picture taken with Santa. He asked Santa for a PSP. Then we went and watched Deja skate. She skated for an hour and a half. She loved it. She saw a few of her friends there so that made it even better. Afterwards we went home and it was time for baths and bed!!

Back to school in the morning......
