It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We've had a busy week here! Our weekend was nice, and rather quiet...gave us time to recharge for this week. :) Monday evening, Nathan and Tim played in a piano recital and they did really well. Their teacher has 30 students, so we heard lots of playing!

Tuesday was cookie making day and today was...well...an interesting day. The Stevensons took all four of our kids to spend the night last night, and then kept them all for the day to play (this was Christi's idea, so don't go thinking that I asked her to do this!!)(she said it was 'fun')! :) Anyway, my house was quiet and it was weird. I had a bunch of errands to run and such, so I got a lot done, but it was still strange to have the kids all gone. I missed them! But, they had a fun time today...so thank you Stevensons for having them all over.

Tomorrow, Grandma and Grandpa will arrive, so Christmas will officially 'begin' at our house. Everyone is excited and hyper. Lizzy keeps reminding me..."I know what Christmas really is Mom. It's Jesus' birthday!!" She is right...in this time of busy-ness and presents...let's keep reminding ourselves that Christmas is the day God sent his Holy Son to us. The perfect gift!
