"Let us commit to give a most meaningful gift to the Lord. Let us give Him our lives, our sacrifices. Those who do so will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can."
-President Ezra Taft Benson
We slept in today because we were pretty tired from our trip. James got up to work on the fireplace. He had to make a trip into town because they gave him the wrong size trim. Finally they agree to give him a refund. He brings me back a drink and I didn't even ask!
Trina and Lola go into town to shop at Walmart and to take lunch to Darrel at CVS.
Back at the cabin the kids and I watched "Nightmare Before Christmas". I had never watched it all the way through before. Weird is all I can say.
Ruby helping grandpa work on the fireplace.
Rowan went in the bedroom to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince while Addy watched "Elf" in the family room.
Ruby also worked at her "desk". Actually my desk. She had postie
notes sticking everywhere with words and names on them.
James went on the house this afternoon using a ladder to do something for the fireplace and Ruby told him they needed to talk. She took him upstairs in his office while she sat in his big chair and he sat across from her. She gave him some Post It's and told him to take notes on the things she told him:
1.) Be more careful.
2.) Get some help next time.
3.) Use a rope so he won't fall.
4.) Don't slide off because it's dangerous.
5.) Stay away from ladders. Don't climb in the house or onto the roof. Such good advice from one so young!
This afternoon Trina made cookies and the kids cut them out and decorated them.
Frosting them was the most fun.
Of course Lola is right there trying to get in on all the fun.
Addy and I tried to do a Christmas puzzle but we didn't finish.
Lola is the life of every party!
Ruby doesn't like to hear the balloon pop!
After cookies, games, and dinner. We all settled down
to watch "The Christmas Dragon".
Christmas caroling!
