The Braquet's: Wonderful Weekend

Friday night we went to the Cookie Project. We had a nice dinner, the kids made Christmas Cards, had a white elephant exchange which was so cute. We were telling them they could steal and they knew stealing was wrong so we had to say swap out the gifts. Then the kids watched the original Grinch and the adults put the cookie boxes together. It was a lot of fun. Saturday morning we had a second interview and then 2 more. The 2 knew ones were no shows...seriously people, make a phone cal so we aren't wasting our time waiting for you! Then there is Caitlin...she came for her second interview and I fell in love even more and Jahno was extremely impressed also. She reminds me of Natalie, she is so up beat and stylish and she is the only person who said, I want this job! She is getting out of the corporate world because her passion is children. She can't wait to teach the curriculum and take the girls on outings! We called her references and they had nothing but incredible things to say about her including her boyfriends ex-wife! We offered her the position and she can't wait to start. So we have a nanny! YAY!!!!!! Saturday afternoon Jahno and I did some research shopping and then we all went to the Fellowship Dinner at church which was really nice. We went to church this morning had lunch with Kimmie and Grand Dad and then came home for naps. Madeleine slept for 5 hours and went back down at bed time. Now I am off the wrap all the Christmas Gifts I have so far and then off to bed.
