They let Connor have a short turn opening the present. We've had a fun time reading stories every night.
Tuesday Bradley had preschool. In the evening we were able to set our tree up.
Mr. Holiday
Wednesday we went to a grad student Christmas party. There was a raffle appetizers and making graham cracker houses. We had a fun time there. I also got some fabric to make blankets to donate to foster children and I worked on those and turned them in on Friday.
Bradley loves to play with nativities! (He calls them activities)
Thursday we went and helped in Lauren's class. In the evening we were able to decorate our tree. It is fun to have it up and so far Connor has pretty much left it alone....Bradley is another story, but he usually puts whatever he took off back.
Friday I went and helped in Jared's class. Greg came and got a hair cut. Then he walked down to pick up Jared with us and we walked him part way home. in the evening we had a fun time playing with some hand bells that I borrowed for primary.
Saturday we spent the day getting ready for Christmas. Alan and Lauren went out and did some shopping ...grocery and Christmas. They had a fun time together. We went swimming when they got home and in the evening watched the BYU vs. Utah basketball game.
Just some fun pictures of the boys playing here with me while Lauren and Alan were gone. Connor looks so big!
It was a good day. Brad didn't change out of his pjs until we went swimming at 5pm!
Today church was good. No one stood up to lead the music in sacrament meeting so I passed sleeping Connor to Alan and I did. For the rest hymn Bradley was sleeping on my lap and I had to lay him down on the bench in front of us...Connor was still sleeping....and so was Alan :) Primary went well too. We used the hand bells to play Away in a Manger. I had color coded the music to go with the bell color. We played it twice. The first group just happened to have mostly older kids and I was surprised how well they did. The second time it was mostly sunbeams and it wasn't so great but they had fun. It was nice to do something a little different too. I think Alan's class was ok...he survived and didn't say it was awful. There were 2 weeks where one challenging girl was gone and she was back, but they made it through. Jeff and Elizabeth and Greg came over after church for dinner which was fun. Then we all went to our stake Christmas musical fireside. Jared and Lauren got to sing Away in a Manger with all the primary kids from the stake that were there and Jeff accompanied a quartet from his ward. Bradley has things moving through him fast right now...starting at the fireside. Hopefully the night isn't too bad.
Showing off their bell skills
They have been saying lots of funny things recently. Bradley always wants to ride the allivator at BYU. One night Lauren happily said "wow I just got milk in my eye. That's the first time I've ever done that."
Riding in the car on the way home from Joann's Bradley said to Lauren I'm going to call you Elizabeth and Lauren said back if you call me Elizabeth then I will call you Jeff.
Brad: If you call me Jeff I'll call you Lindsay.
Lauren: then I'll call you John John (I think she heard Lizzy)
Brad: then I'll call you Alan.
Lauren: Then I'll call you Lindsay.
Bradley : then I'll call you Alyanne.
Lauren: LINDSAY.
Bradley : ALYANNE.
Lauren : LINDSAY
Bradley : ALYANNE.
Lauren: If you call me Lauren I'll call you Bradley.
Bradley : Lauren.
Lauren : Bradley.
I laughed pretty hard. Maybe it's not as funny to read it but I was entertained. I know Brad has said some other cute things I just can't remember then right now.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week and enjoys Christmas...and finals :)
