The week started out with this little guy not feeling well. He's doing so much better now!
There was one night in particular where I didn't get much sleep and the next day was sooooo hard! I'm getting too old for this! ;)
I got a smile out of Ty.
Looks like he grew out of these! Ha!
We stopped by a friends house to deliver a Christmas present and we got to play her mom's harp. I'm trying to convince Camille that she needs to play the harp when she grows up. Wouldn't that be great?! I would just love to hear beautiful harp music flowing through my house. As of now she totally on board. :)
The leaves have been changing and dropping on certain trees. I love going down the streets in the neighborhood and seeing their bright yellow, orange, and redleaves in a pile on the bright green grass. It's so stunning!
My visiting teachers made a delicious dinner for us one night this week! It was so nice to not have to think about making dinner. And we used the time we saved from preparing and cleaning up dinner to make gingerbread boys and girls. It was the most perfect thing they could do for me!
The kids and I were out running errands for Christmas yesterday so we stopped in at Taco Bell for lunch. They were so excited to get to eat inside, instead of going through the drive-thru, and they had fun watching the cars drive by their window.
This boy is getting so grown up!
With our beautiful evening weather, all the kids on our street have been playing together like crazy until they are forced to go eat dinner. The past couple evenings they've spent raking up leaves and throwing them at each other. They had a blast!
Last night we went to check out the nativities (more about that here) at a local LDS church building. We walked in and heard the most beautiful voice singing Christmas songs in the chapel. I new the voice the second I heard it and was so excited to see this girl perform live. I've heard of her online, but live is such a treat! My parents and grandparents came also and they really enjoyed the music and seeing all of the beautiful and unique nativities. There is still tonight and tomorrow night left, so go! It's great!
It's a rainy day today and our house feels cozy and warm. I put hot chili in a Thermos in Grant's lunch today. That Thermos is one of the best things I've ever gotten! We use it for Grant's lunches all the time. And what's better than warm chili for lunch on a cold rainy day?
Tonight we're skipping our weekly date and staying home to make pizzas with the kids and maybe watch a Christmas movie too. Sounds like fun to me!
With one week until Christmas, we got our Christmas shopping (almost) done and mostly wrapped. Although Camille found the presents and unwrapped a couple. Argh! That girl is so mischievous lately!
The kids will be singing with the primary in Sacrament meeting this Sunday. And then they only have three more days left of school! Yay! I'm so excited to sleep in! And I'm so excited to have Keith home too! I love that his place of work shuts down for Christmas and everybody gets to have a week or so off! Hooray for everyone being home!
Happy Weekend!
