This week I felt as though my personal mailbox was full -- I had a hard time receiving promptings and navigating my own scriptures. I was just too busy. However, I did help my family make December successful.
We play games in the evening.
Molly and I run errands. I love my little shopping body. She makes friends with everyone.
We filled the second half of the advent calendar. She now climbs up and tastes the treats and asks me if I want some. Then, she doesn't get in trouble for eating said treats.
This is laundry day. I actually asked Austin for help. He was very nice.
Best friends.
FHE game.
These two play the most darling Christmas duet.
Molly make me lots of food this week.
Eddie made a gingerbread house at school.
We had Student-Led conferences. I spent 20+ minutes in each classroom and looked their learning.
Cutest Ryan's journal started with just pictures, then he added the first letter to each word, now he writes whole words and as correct punctuation. WOW!
Nick worked on an outdoor learning center. His class wants to see nature happen.
Maddie's hair was just too cute!
I made key fobs for the ladies.
Maisie had her choir concert.
Austin and I were so impressed.
This is her artwork. She is talentred.
Friday was the office party. We love the Austin's team. They are the best. He gave them cash to spend on themselves. It was really fun.
They organized a game for us, and we loved it.
Molly came along and entertained us all.
That same night was the ward Christmas party.
Molly was not too sure about Santa. (I was in charge of the musical portion. I organized a lip sync. It was fun.)
Saturday night was our annual YES the Arc banquet. Because Andy completed his Eagle project there, they recognized him, and he got to bring a date, Cassidy. We had a lovely night eating and dancing together. The dancing is one of my favorite nights of the year.

Sunday was sweater dresses and bows.
My handsome sons make me grin. I really watched them carefully prepare, bless and pass the sacrament today. I felt the witness of the Holy Ghost confirming that the holy emblems truly allow me to receive a remission of my sins and be a little better.
That night we went to Grandpa's house.
He gifted Molly a magazine about chickens. Both she and Maisie loved it.
Maisie worked on her project. I am so glad she is an independent project maker.
December is lovely. December is busy. December is moving so quickly.
