It has been an action packed December! I'm convinced that with Thanksgiving being so late this year, all of the Christmas activities have been squished into a shorter time period! Fun abounds, but so does tiredness!!
Wednesday night I celebrated Christmas with some of my friends eating dinner and doing an ornament exchange. What a treat to have some time together without our kids! And we tried a new restaurant that we will for sure be visiting again!
Because the week was not busy enough, the older two kids had their check-ups on Thursday afternoon! Since Shane was so incredibly brave receiving his four vaccinations (no tears!!!), we celebrated with ice cream!
Friday night I attended our Church Christmas Cocktail party! It was a fun evening, and it was especially fun to wear the same colored green dress as the hostess Cindy (on the right) and another friend Lucinda! As always, Lutherans have more fun!
One of the themes of our current season of life is Olivia trying to do absolutely everything the big kids do! Faith was practicing her piano playing before going to her lesson, and Olivia just had to play along too! Their first duet!!
On Saturday we celebrated Christmas with Steve's family! Faith was beyond excited to receive a DS from Uncle Russell! I think it has been on her Christmas and birthday list for the past two years!
Shane was pretty excited too with the gifts her received, including a remote control car!
Olivia enjoyed her new toys too, and it was great to have her busy with something to entertain her for awhile! She sat with Russ and Jaime for quite awhile!
Such great brother and sister love! They actually took turns sharing the DS pretty well, and they sat together for a long time just watching the other person play!
