We got up early on Sunday morning and made it to church so I could practice for the reading I had during services. After church we stopped by Best Buy to look around. At home, we ate lunch and watched White Christmas. That evening we attended the kids' school Christmas party. They visited with Santa, got haircuts and went "shopping" for the family. Afterwards, we headed over to Granddad and Granny's to watch "Home Alone".
On Monday, Malachi and I took Mysia piano lessons before doing a bit of Christmas shopping. At home, we all ate a quick supper and then attended the MEND Christmas candlelight vigil for 3 miscarriages. The kids went to bed once we returned home. Not to long afterwards, I heard a crash and then crying. Malachi had fallen off bunk bed and onto his legos. All is well, he wasn't hurt. Just upset that he had demolished his buildings.
Lydia had breakfast with the kids at school Tuesday morning. We came home from work and prepared supper before Uncle Sam and Aunt Madisen came over for a visit. They brought their two dogs, and Buttercup was thrilled to have playmates for the evening. We talked and enjoyed the evening together.
On Wednesday, Mysia got to try on a dress for Abigail's wedding after school. She's excited to be in it. I picked up Malachi after work and met Lydia at home. We enjoyed the evening at home. Malachi read three books to me as part of his homework before bed.
Thursday was a bit rushed, getting things done throughout the day. We attended to a Christmas party with our small group that evening. It was a blast visiting friends and exchanging white elephant gifts.
On Friday, we came home after work and I ate supper real quick before heading over to my friend Ben's for the evening. He helped with some van repairs and we got to visit. Lydia and the kids watched TV and read Christmas books.
We woke up Saturday morning and took the kids with me to church. They had a Christmas party with crafts and snacks. Lydia got things done around the house and then we had lunch. We then attended the Christmas parade downtown. The kids got candy and we enjoyed watching the floats and bands. We then went to CPO and the kids picked up some Christmas gifts and a movie. That evening, we saw Crossway's "Who Stole Christmas". It was a great production, and we liked the adaptation of the Grinch story with a Christian perspective. Throughout the day, my stomach was aching and a lump appeared on my stomach, and after doing some online research, I'm thinking I have a hernia. Yikes.
