We had a busy day Saturday. The YM/YW were asked to pick up the food donations that ward members were asked to leave on their porches Saturday morning. So, Beth, Ben, and I grabbed the Mila's and we gathered food! It didn't take too long which was good because I needed to make a breakfast casserole for the ward Christmas brunch at 10am. Kevin was done playing tennis by then and we all went to the party! By "all," I mean the four of us: Kevin, me, Beth, and Ben. We are still trying to get used to being a small family. It was a nice party with good food and a couple of good songs from the primary. Later that afternoon we took Beth and Ben (and Max) to do some Christmas shopping. I made them do chores first. :) Ben wasn't feeling well, so we didn't go to more than one shop but it was fun and they got a lot done. The rest of the day, Beth and Ben hung out with the Mila's and Max. I watched "While You Were Sleeping," and did some online shopping. Kevin joined me toward the end.

The rest of the week was pretty routine! Ben had guitar lessons. Beth and Ben had karate on Tuesday and Thursday. On Wednesday, Ben played games at the church for YM and twisted his ankle. Beth made ornaments!

I worked this week and got more trainings done. I also finished my BYU independent study class. Kevin is getting closer to finishing his big project for work. We are all looking forward to when our college kids come home next week!

Since I don't have as many pictures this week, I'm going to include this clip of my mom doing a Christmas lipsync a couple of years ago. We don't want to lose it! It's pretty fabulous. :) I'm going to try including a link. Hopefully that will work!
