Mysia still had a slight fever Sunday morning, so Lydia stayed home with her while Malachi rode with me on the Church van. Lydia took the chance to get some rest as well.
Mysia had to be 24 hours free of the fever before returning to school, so I took off and stayed home with both kids, just to be safe. Well, I had no worries.... they were definitely fine! We played games, watched a movie, and made a mess with play-dough!
We also took the kids shopping to let them get each other gifts, along with gifts for us parents. Boy, was that an interesting experience! Lydia and both agree that we'll have to figure out another way to go about an activity like that in the years to come.
For most of the week, each evening was filled with food preparation... mostly sweets! Of course, Lydia was the one in charge, and stayed up late just to get the baking completed. My duty was gift wrapping!
We had some snow flurries on Thursday morning, which brought excitement to our household. Unfortunately, it didn't amount to anything. That afternoon, I got the opportunity to attend the holiday party at Mysia's class. It was the last school-day of the year, so Mysia and her classmates were excited!
Since Mysia was out of school on Friday, I took the day off. Lydia went ahead and went to work, while I took them to the eye doctor. Both did great with their eye exams. We had lunch with Lydia and then took naps at home. That evening we enjoyed a great visit with our friends Noah and Courtney! Besides supper, we talked and played several games on the Wii.
On Saturday, we met up with Lydia's family for a breakfast at Hemingway's in Bass Pro Shops. It was good getting to catch up. We then were invited to meet up with our friends, the Mitchells, at Silver Dollar City. They were gracious in getting us in with extra tickets that came with their season passes. It was a surprise for Mysia and Malachi, who had been wanting to go 'so bad'. While there, we got to ride a few rides, see two great shows, and visit with Santa. Malachi's biggest thrill was being able to see the huge Christmas tree!
