Christmas Eve hair… Marie’s was elegant as well, but she was out the door before photos.
We headed to the Brookses for our annual tradition of snacks and dessert before church.
Then we tried (and tried) to get a nice photo. (I think the first is the best.)
After church, we tried to get one of the kids…
Nigel ran in and changed.
Then… what ARE these youngest three doing??
Good Grief.
Merry Christmas
With her beautiful curls, Katriel’s hair appears to be somewhat short. In truth, it’s rather long. Mama convinced her to let me braid her hair. She was so tickled when we were done.
It didn’t take long before the braids started to curl up.
Then the curls started to pull the hair right out of the braids.
A few hours later the curls had freed themselves from the bondage of braids, except for those wee little curly strands at the end.
We’ll try another day.
keep their soda cool this way while they shop?
Just as day was dawning I headed out to a special doughnut shop for a birthday gift for a friend… I decided to bless my crew, as well. It was a pretty unusual treat.
They all approved.
Then…. as soon as church ended, I encouraged John to hurry out the door and go see the newest Star Wars movie so that we didn’t have to be worried about spoiling anything.
So he headed out.
In the little van.
Leaving me the big van.
I only had keys to the little van…
Nan came by and drove Stewart to our house. She grabbed our keys and came back to me at church.
Meanwhile, Nigel encouraged us to maintain a positive attitude. “We’re in a warm, safe place we like. We’ve had a great weekend. We have food and water. We have a fun afternoon planned. This isn’t so bad.”
Johanna walked into the room, “We’re going to DIE here!”
Marie entertained by leaving this note on a dry erase board:
We finally got home, had lunch, and got ready for the boys’ cast party.
It was a full day.
Nigel sang this year in the choir.
Stewart helped serve Friday.
Tabitha and Marie helped serve Friday and Saturday.
you do school on Labor Day, but take the day off for the new Star Wars movie.
The boys went to a 90’s themed Christmas party.
They looked too good.
