We've been keeping busy this week. Even when there isn't any thing scheduled on the calendar, it always seems like there are errands to run and stuff to do. This week was a busy one for Anna especially. She had the State competition for her Robotics team on Saturday, so the week before was full of preparations for that. Plus on Monday, she had the volleyball finals. Her team didn't win their match, so they didn't get to go to the championship - but it was probably just as well since she probably couldn't have made it anyway.
Tuesday was Band for Eileen and Robotics for Anna. Otherwise it was a fairly normal day. Wednesday morning, Dan went in to have a procedure to check out his esophagus after his choking ordeal - bright and early - so after dropping the kids off at school, I went to pick him up, then I watched a friends daughter for a bit - I also took David to the doctors - he had been fussy and not wanting to sleep, so I took him in and he had an ear infection. So we grabbed his medicine and headed home for some lunch before dropping my friends daughter off and picking up the kids from school. Wednesday evening was full of the usual church activities, but since I didn't have Choir, James and David and I just hung out at home while everyone else partied at the church!
Thursday I went to Becca's - they had been out of town for our normal Tuesday day, so we moved to Thursday. After getting the kids from school, Aaron had drum lessons and then in the evening, Evie had her music night at the school - she did great and had a blast - then we met up with the rest of the family at Dan's work for a little family party that they put on. The kids had a blast playing with all the other kids and they had a bouncy house.
Friday was busy - I went to visit my friend in the morning to chat and hang out and drop off some presents for her kids. After school, Anna and Dan had robotics and then Dan came home to grab me and take me to the Company Christmas Party - we had a great time eating yummy food and chatting with great people. Then we headed out to pick up Anna from Robotics and head home. Then she had an early morning the next day.
Saturday, Dan and Anna headed out bright and early for the State Robotics Competition. Their team did well and got First in Robot Design - Strategy and Innovation. Anna had fun - but she and Dan both came home tired. Partly because they didn't get to go home - they left the competition and met up with the rest of us at the ward Christmas party. The kids and I spent our morning doing their last flute and piano lessons here in Colorado - the kids will really miss their teachers - they have been great teachers and the kids just love them.
In the evening, we all met up at the ward Christmas party - the kids got a picture with Santa and we got to enjoy a yummy dinner with a wonderful music and narration program.
Church today was wonderful. There were some wonderful talks and a beautiful musical number. The Sunday School and Relief Society lessons were wonderful too. After church, we had lunch then got started on making the cookies. Then we went to choir and had a great practice - I feel like we are ready for the Christmas program next week! After, we headed home and began the cookie decorating!! Kay and Reggie came, Newell and Becky and family came and Becca and Jeremiah came with baby Laura. It was such a fun evening! We had a great time decorating and chatting and making yummy cookies!
We finally got the kids to bed and then had a nice time chatting with Dan's parents - it's so neat to hear the amazing experiences that they have as they serve in the temple presidency. We are officially in the countdown - one week until Christmas!!!!
