Well the week started off mostly normal - Laundry and grocery shopping. Kids at school and homework, piano practice and such at home. Becca came over in the morning to crochet with me and we had a fun time together! Then we invited her and Jeremiah to come back for dinner. We had another fun dinner of French Toast and fruit and had a great time together.
Tuesday, Evie woke up early having thrown up, so she stayed home from school. The other kids went to school, and Evie rested. We cancelled preschool so the other kids wouldn't get sick and Evie and James and I just took it easy. She was feeling better by the next day though.
Wednesday was late start and then after dropping the kids off, James and I had a mostly easy day until they got back. In the evening, Dan and Eileen had mutual, I had a quick interview to finish getting my reccomend renewed and Aaron had cub scouts. Choir is out until the end of January.
Thursday we had a Preschool Christmas party, we did lots of fun Christmas crafts and ate fun yummy snacks and had a good time. After picking the kids up from their last day of school until after the holidays, we had a fun afternoon playing together. Dan came home early from work while preschool was going on and went and slept most of the afternoon - he wasn't feeling so good, but was feeling better after. In the evening, some of Dan's friends from work came over to play games with us. We played a couple new games that they brought and let Eileen play too - one was very space/nerd themed and she loved it - and it was a fun game to play too :) Then we sent her to bed and played a game of Dominion.
Friday the kids were off school and we mostly just spent the day playing around the house and having fun together. We were supposed to have a game night, but the DM was sick, so it got cancelled, so I spent the evening getting the necessary groceries for the cookie making weekend. Then shortly after I got back home, the snow hit. We got 4-5 inches and most of what we had going on for Saturday got cancelled.
Saturday mostly ended up being a chill day. Dan heard that Murdoch's had live Reindeer that you could go see, and we needed more chicken feed, so we headed down to let the kids see live reindeer. They all thought it was pretty cool - though Aaron didn't wan't his picture taken.
We also took the kids to the dollar store to do their shopping for each other. They all had a great time this year picking out gifts for each other. Even James got into it this year! Then in the evening, we decorated cookies. The kids had a blast as usual, we missed having Newell and Becky and their family, but we still had fun together.
Sunday was great - Dan didn't have meetings so he got to stay and hang out with us before church. Eileen gave her first Sacrament meeting talk today - she was REALLY nervous and didn't enjoy the experience at all - but she did a really good job anyway! After some awesome lessons, we had ward choir practice - which was all of 4 people, including me and Eileen. Then we headed home for a late lunch before Dan and Eileen headed out to go caroling with the youth. They got back just in time for us all to pack up and head out. Dan had to go to his company Christmas Party and the kids and I headed to Grandpa's for the Carol Sing and Scripture Reading. It went well - Frankie also did a solo this year and his voice is really maturing and he is really becoming a great singer. I got to sing "O Holy Night" again - I love singing that song! Then after, the family gathered for a late dinner and fun and chatter before finally heading home for bed time! Only one week until Christmas!
