Caleb fell asleep in his Jumper, it is so funny, he jumps until he falls asleep, then as soon as he wakes up he starts jumping again. He'll even start jumping in the middle of being asleep!
We had a good Christmas this year. We were very blessed by generous grandparents, great grandparents, and many ward members, who dropped stuff anonymously off at our door. The weekend before Christmas after finally finishing Finals, I baked all day Saturday and Monday, and then Monday night we delivered 23 plates of goodies while singing Christmas Carols, we didn't do the bells this year, we didn't have enough time to practice. Samuel loves to sing Jingle Bells, but would only get out the car some of the time, he was way too cold. We got all the plates delivered in two hours.Then we went to Pizza Pie Cafe (a pizza buffet place, that has gluten free pasta and pizza) for dinner, it was a good night. Christmas morning the kids all got up about 6:30am, and we got things ready, and everyone came downstairs, and opened up their stockings and presents. I made sticky buns, oatmeal, eggs, and bacon for breakfast, it was delicious. We had a great Christmas morning, until we discovered Samuel stole everyone's candy that we got in our stockings. So I got out a box, and put everything with sugar in it from the kitchen or anywhere in the house in it and locked it up in the food storage closet. We had church at 1pm so we got everyone ready to go. The girls looked real pretty in their new dresses from Grandma Stevens, and I will try to get a picture of them in them soon. And Caleb had a new hand-knitted green sweater from his Grandma Hardy! (picture coming soon) we got to church, but Samuel, since he had sugar was going a little crazy, and the baby wasn't being quiet so I took them to the YW's room and we walked around for a while, and then went to the foyer so we could hear the program. The choir was supposed to sing, and Travis had a solo, so he went up, and the kids all ended up out in the foyer with me. I was having a hard time calming Samuel down, he scratched the baby again. Fortunately, a Sister in the Ward, Sister West, came in and helped me out, by taking Samuel outside for walks. After church the day was much better, and relaxing. The kids had fun with their HEX bugs (little electronic bugs), and having races with them. The kids loved sneaking up on me, and putting them on me and getting a good rise out of me. When they are turned on the buzz, and when they put it on my skin, it gives me the willies. We got a dice game from my brother Kyle that was fun, and the boys had fun riding their bikes around the cul-de-sac. The girls played with little dolls, and on Monday had fun playing playing with their new Wii remotes and games. I put a turkey that my Grandma Hardy had given us in the oven, and we ate that for dinner, it was a really good turkey. My Grandma is awesome, she gave us a whole bunch of food that was really yummy!! Thankyou Grandma Hardy, Mom and Dad, Kathy and Jim, Travis' Dad and Bonnie, family and friends for making this a wonderful Christmas! |
