Rest of the week

Just a recap of what else happened last week.

I had choir practice and Damon had Scouts on Tuesday.  I went to Book Club on Thursday - I had to get a baby sitter.  I miss Doug a lot for things like this.  Friday was the ward Christmas Pageant.  They did a good job - the normal nativity with some nice songs.  Nice and short too.  It was a little crazy keeping my kiddos quiet and under control by myself.  A neighbor boy sat by us and he helped a bit.

Doug came home Friday night late - it was great to have him home.  While he was here we just continued to get things ready for the move and closing on our Houston home.

I made four batches of caramels this year for treats (one of them I over cooked so we just used three batches).  Damon also helped me dip pretzels - two bags worth.  The boys helped me filled some cute bags and we went around and delivered most of them on Sunday.  The boys are good to sing with me - we just sing the end of "We wish you a Merry Christmas" but everyone loves it and we usually have to sing it again when they have gathered all of their family at the door.  I think that brings me the Christmas Spirit the most.

Monday I ran some errands and delivered the rest of our treats.  Then we went to the Karate awards night for Damon and Tyler.  (see next blog)
