Day 7: We picked up a couple of hot chocolates at McD's and took them to the Salvation Army bell ringers at Wal-Mart along with a bag of change and some dollar bills. 
Day 8: Well, this day actually made up for a few of the days we missed because we accomplished three activities in one day! The original plan was for Suzana to perform in her preschool class Christmas program. Here she is posing on the stage.
A little brother support provided by Leo!
It was very impressive that only one three year old out of 60 cried while on the stage...
too bad it was our three year old, lol! Her awesome teacher got on the stage with her though and she did a beautiful job singing after that. I know, it is a shocker that little Miss Performer got stage fright!! 
Since Gi Gi was here to see her sing, we decided to go see Mr. Claus so she could be there too. Leo was ADORABLE!! We got a picture of just him since it is his first Christmas and probably the last one for a while that he will smile in Santa's lap! Doesn't he look like a little elf?
This was as close as Suzana wanted to get for the picture! Afterwards, she did talk to him and give him a high five. She loves him to death, as long as he is not right beside her!
Third activity of the day was making gingerbread girls and boys with Sydney. I had this planned for another day, but this day seemed to work out the best; however, it actually didn't even work out because the girls mostly played! 
That same evening, Jake, Shannon, Luke and Brenna came for the weekend. Saturday, our day 8 activity was getting pictures taken of all the Gibson grandkids. They turned out to be so adorable! Here is our favorite group shot.
Of course Suzana LOVED having three babies at her house. She is so in love with her brother and two baby cousins!
Well, after they left on Sunday, the weather took over all we had planned! It snowed or iced all week. And if it didn't snow or ice, it was a balmy high of 15 degrees most days. One thing we did get to do was see Santa's special message (make sure you check it out on the post below if you haven't already). We also gathered some toys and books to donate to the UK children's hospital. After being cooped up most days, on Friday night we decided to get out and head to Chuck E. Cheese. Although we hadn't gotten to do the things I wanted all last week, that night showed me that she still understands what giving to others means when a little boy wanted to play a game beside her and his mom told him they didn't have any coins. Our precious girl looked at her daddy and asked if it was OK to give him one of hers :-) The boy's mom couldn't believe that a three year old would do something like that. I can...she is AWESOME!!!! 
This is Suzana and Kirk last year during their visit!!!
This is Suzana feeding Kirk his bottle on their 2009 trip when he was just four months old...
and, well, I guess she felt like they needed to do it again today for old time's sake!! (She is using the bottle from the gift they got her. She said, "It is just what I wanted!" Thanks Walkers!)
We threw a new baby into the mix this year. He got a really cute growth chart!
It is hard to believe that Kirk was just a month older than Leo when he was here last year and that next year when they visit Leo will be as big as Kirk!!!
Hopefully I can make one more post before Christmas! Have a great week!

We found out a few days ago that Kelly and Kirk were making their annual Lexington Christmas trip today, so that was the perfect activity for today!
Kirk and Suzana are opening his Mickey Mouse airplane ride-on toy.
