Highlights of the Week

We had a really fun week-other than Sarah feeling a little under the weather. Both girls had their last day of school for Christmas Break. Sarah's class sang some songs and had a party for all the parents. So cute! (I forgot my camera!) Steve even made a surprise appearance, which really made Sarah's day. We had some good friends over for dinner with their new baby. Carolyn did a great job playing hostess to all of them! She got to hold Kaylin for the first time, drew pictures for all of the adults to take home, and gave them chocolate kisses as they were walking out the door. She loves to have "adult" conversation, too. Such a first-born! She really does have the gift of hospitality. The week ended with a lazy morning making wonderful-smelling ornaments and then off to Riley to sing Christmas carols at the Ronald McDonald House.



Someone at Steve's work had organized it. It was really fun! The girls had put some candy and candy canes in a bag so they could hand them out to people. They really enjoyed that part! It's so cute to see them decide who they are going to give them to. I don't know how they choose, but I know they feel special doing it. Carolyn did say one kid threw his on the ground! Oops! Should have asked Mom first! Before we left the hospital, we stopped by the big Christmas tree for a family photo.




Steve then found Barrett playing in the coin fountain, head first! Funny and scary all at the same time! It was a wonderful week and we are looking forward to a weekend of family activities and a night out with friends.
