Love Saturdays like today. Just the three of us took off and had breakfast out. Kaya loved it. We don't often go out just the three of us so it's a nice treat during the busy holiday season.
After errands ran, bills paid (BOO lol), and movies rented we headed home for some indoor time due to the rain.
We played Pretty Pony, played dolls, cleaned up the house some, and just had fun. Kaya's pick for her movie was a Halloween movie...imagine that...but it was pretty good. At the Henderson Hacienda it's always time for a Halloween show :)
Kaya is also currently trying to hatch an "alien egg" she got from the Dollar Tree. After 3 days the egg is suppose to swell up and crack..and hatch an alien. She's pretty excited and checks the egg a lot!
This evening at sundown also started Hanukkah. Although we are not Jewish and we celebrate Christmas Kaya has always loved the story of Hanukkah, how the oil lasted 8 days and how it's called a Celebration of Lights. We always read the children's version every year. She also makes a dreidel every year. We normally make latkes and Sufganiyots...which Steve and Kaya made on Friday evening. I think it's important for Kaya to know other cultures and traditions...and recipes are a great way to learn things.
Kaya removed another link from her Christmas chain and is getting very excited over how short it's becoming :) Hard to believe how close it is to Christmas.
Kaya also rented the children's version of Silent Night and we are going to watch it tomorrow. She is excited that it is the story of the 3 wise men and baby Jesus ;)
Thinking tomorrows agenda will probably be cleaning house,lots of fun play (possible rain again tomorrow!) etc as I start a seven day stretch on Monday :( Sooo I try to stretch the weekends out as long as possible!
