Finally, the house in MP is packed away and we are off to the next step- XMAS in SJ!! We missed the ferry and had to drive the long way. The long way was extra long and we ended up not getting into SJ until about 5:30pm. We left MP at 9:15am. Along the way we did our stop for lunch at Tres Hermanas a side of the road pee stop, and then the ice cream stop at Pops…other than that it was drive, drive, drive!

Thankfully kids are pros and used to this trip so they were easy peasy, no ipads, no one got car sick and we listened to Xmas music the whole way.

The airbnb was easy to set up and settle into since we’ve been here before and now we’re ready to get the Xmas festivities going!

Yesterday the girls had Adeline’s 8th bday party and it was a blast. For a gift the girls made their own little crafts. Sophie worked hard on an amazing book she wrote over the weekend and Sabsy glittered, glued and colored her own beautiful creation. Sweet little peanuts.

Oh what a day for lil Sabsy Rae!!!! First she got on and rode the horse and loved it, 2nd she let Ali put leggings on her, and 3rd… for the first time ever she decided to stay somewhere on her own without Sophie!

Sophie had an online class and needed to leave about 20 minutes early. Dada went to pick her up from Ali’s and when he got there Ali said that if Sabi wanted to stay longer she would walk her home in a little bit. Sabsy said yes and she stayed for a whole hour more! She came walking down the driveway with Ali like a little teenager. Eeeeekkkk so proud!

Also super duper proud of Sophie who was so mature about having to leave the group of kids early and who came home and had an amazing private online class with her favorite teacher from Sweden.

What a day of firsts and how exciting that we found a great teacher just walking distance away that the girls loved. They are already scheduled to go twice more next week before leave for SJ!

Oh they also took their first spanish class online today with a teacher in Spain and they both loved that!

Super successful day.
