Last night Kaitlyn had her first babysitting experience. Matt and I went out to dinner with Kris, Zach, Brooke and Jim to a great Italian restaurant in town. Kaitlyn and Grace watched Connor and Aidan at Brooke and Jim's house, which was just minutes away. Kaitlyn helped them finish their dinner, popped microwave popcorn and watched a movie then put the boys to bed. She did SO awesome. We are very proud of her. There is a babysitting course in the spring that we will sign her up for but I think having this experience with kids she knows and families she is comfortable with is great. She has added to her list for Christmas a book on babysitting but I have to say she had some great ideas of things to do with the kids and really took on the role of young adult last night.
Matt and I are up early this morning getting the turkey ready for the oven. We are also doing a roast in the crock pot. It should be a fun day having everyone over. I plan to get some pictures of the families we came with so everyone can put a face to the names you will be hearing.
That's is for now. More to come later.....
