Tis The Season

Last weekend, we went to Cole Camp to help my mom and dad move into the new house. I'm horrified that I am the first person to have a mishap in the new house. The rest of the family is relieved. I will never hear the end of it :) Let's just say dropping a crockpot of chili all over a new kitchen floor (denting the new wood floor and rendering the crockpot unusable) is NOT the recommended way to visit a new home (you know, in case you were considering it). To my sisters and brothers in law (and Jason)--I totally took one for the team and you owe me :).

Sorry, mom and dad (again and again).Sunday, the girls helped me make candy and cookies to take to the neighbors and for gifts for teachers. They had a great time!!! They wore their Santa hats and went house to house ringing the doorbells and saying "Merry Christmas!". The girls love delivering cookies just about as much as they like trick-or-treating. Livi cried when we were done and begged to do it some more. We just need more houses on our block, right?


We're still not completely ready for Christmas yet, but I'm hoping we'll get everything finished up in time. The girls are begging to wrap presents for people and Livi's "job" everyday is to plug in the Christmas tree.

Livi had her first Christmas program on Tuesday night. They had it in a church around the corner from her school. It was a nice program--each class grades K-3 sang 2-3 songs and then the school choir (composed of some 4th and 5th graders) sang 4-5 songs. Livi was pretty shy in this new environment. Luckily, she trusts her teacher enough to follow her up so she could sing. I have never seen Livi look so nervous, but she was soooo proud when it was done. To celebrate, we went out with mom & dad to get dessert!
