We have had a great December so far (with more yet to come as we go visit family!). We got to celebrate Christmas with two of our great friends this last week. We celebrated Christmas with our friends the Larson's. (And stupidly, I didn't take any pictures). The kids had a great time playing together and eating dinner together. For part of my gift, my friend Becky gave me 3 whole hours all to myself! Wow! It was great! I took the kids to her house on Saturday morning. Doug took Lindsey to basketball practice and the kids all had a great time. They played, made cookies and tried to keep Hannah happy! (Again Becky, I'm sorry she wasn't very good for some of it - she got a stern lecture when she got home). But me? I had an even GREATER time!!!! I had my sewing machine out and sewed and sewed. I had forgotten how much I can get done in a 3 hour block of time with no interruptions! It was wonderful - thank you so much again!
Then we also celebrated Christmas with the Rasmussens! Another WOW! We went over to their house, we visited, the kids played, we ate dessert and exchanged gifts. We seriously have the greatest friends! Kirsten also had my kids earlier that day while I had a root canal re-done (and it's still not finished). She managed to dip pretzels while holding Hannah and then kept Jack and Kate for extra hours - this time I got packing done! Thank you guys so much for having us over, for the amazing gifts and for EVERYTHING!
Happy, excited kids (all 9 of them)!
Kate (with a new haircut) excited about a Charlie Brown book (she had just told me the other day that her favorite people were Dora, Diego and Charlie Brown)
