Daisy Christmas Party

Dec 21, 2011

     It is Daisy day!  Ashley Group went to a Senior home and sang christmas carols.  Well at least they tired.  I was unable to go to this event due to limited space but was told Ashley did very well.  I am hoping to get pictures or videos from a mom who was at the event.  After wards me and the boys meet the troop at Burger King for dinner and a gift exchange.  The boys where very happy because their friends Ryan and Conner where there!  It was a great night for all three of them.  When it came to the gift exchange Ashley's name was picked first and she wanted to pick her own gift, she knew what it was.  She had to pick another person's gift.  She received a Barbie, which is what she gave and wanted.    It was a great event for the troop!

Coming Home From Saint Louis

Dec 16, 2011

     Time to go home.  And yet again my sister drove the entire way.  We become tourist and took pictures and video and stopped at the Arch.  Ashley was able to get a patch from the Arch for her Daisy uniform as well!  See you again in 6 months Saint Louis!

Girls Time in Saint Louis

Dec 15, 2011

     This was a fun trip.  Ashley had her Genetic appointment in Saint Louis and I was able to leave my boys with their Papa at home.  This way they did not miss school!  It became a girls outing.  We started with the fun drive, in which I planned on driving at least half of it.  But my sister, Sam, decided she was the driver and made it the entire way!  And had a restful night at the hotel.  I booked a large room for the entire clan of three kids and two adults and did not change the room.  So we all three where able to have our own bed!  In the morning we went to Ashley's appointment, which went very well.  She only cried during lab time.  We had a great lunch at Applebee's and then went to do some christmas shopping at Saint Louis Mills.  Ashley was a great shopper.  Sam was horrified at the amount of stuffed animals at Cabela's, but I normally take the kids in there to look at the live animals.  We ended the day with dinner at Olive Garden.
