Leo dressed in his Christmas Finery
Thanksgiving isn't December, but I am going to start there anyway. We went to Christa's parents house and they had a new WII and we were all sore from playing tennis and bowling when we got back home. We were the only ones there her brother and his family had gone to Minnesota to be with his mother inlaw.
December weekends were filled with lots of activities. The first weekend the scouts caroled at the nursing home and we had a pizza party/Court of Honor followed immediately by Angel Food order time. Angel Food has really taken off it was the third month and we had 96 boxes ordered. We also found out that we will become an independent site in January. We also attended Christa's office party.
The second weekend we participated in the Hewitt Christmas parade. We got the trailer and decorated it, drove down to the IGA and then back to the Middle School and undecorated the trailer. That may sound pretty mundane and boring, but the boys had a great time!
On Sunday we had the children's musical at church and Greerson's ear was bothering him and he had to drop out at the last minute. On Wednesday that week his ear was hurting so much we took him to the emergency room and they found a little bead in his ear. We have no idea how long it has been there. The funny thing is that now that it is out he doesnt seem to hear us ask him to do things!
The third weekend was the party weekend it started with the Sunday School party on Friday night. When I arrived there was one couple there and Christa was in Goldthwaite on her way back from Muleshoe. Another couple arrived and Christa got their in time for dessert. Several of the other couples had trouble and couldnt make it at the last minute.
Saturday was Angel Food delivery day. We unloaded the truck by ourselves, but when we got to the church we were blessed to have about 20 people to help us unload it and sort it out. We wrapped that up and went shopping to make the appetizers for that night's party which was great, but we didnt get home until about 1:20 in the morning. And then bright and early we got up and headed to the ranch for Christa's grandmother's get together. We had a blast and Greerson got to target shoot with his cousins.
I went to my sisters to drop off presents and she had her dog dressed up like a reindeer. It was quite the sight.
