Catching up

Friday

Wow, we have had a busy weekend. Friday was full of play time, a bad car sick little girl, lunch at Chipotle and then daddy had to close. I guess they were really slow because we spoke to him more than usual at work. He had wanted us to dine up there but HG went to sleep early.

HG's new watch

Saturday

We slept in, finished our left over Thanksgiving food and headed to Weatherford for Grandpa's 90th birthday party. It was great to see some of the people out there and HG enjoyed running around outside and seeing the neighbor's goats. She wrapped the gift, put stickers all over the card and couldn't wait for her great grandpa to open it. I think he really enjoyed the party. He is such a great man and gave us great advice while we are out there. It was along the lines that we have created our own family and we have to do what it best for us.

Working on our 6 Teacher gifts

I'll have to post the finished products!!

Sunday
Poppy sent a text that he was coming over to Christmas shop and wanted to come see us. HG ran around like a wild child so excited he was on his way. After lunch of simple chicken and rice, we headed to the Town Square for a bit. Poppy even got HG to sit in Santa's lap. He must have been bribing her. :)

Dinner at BW3

Errands, dinner at BW3, and Redbox was a perfect ending to our Holiday weekend.

Monday

HG and I put the last of the Christmas decorations we can manage to cram in the apartment and destroyed the house with toys. She was such a big helper with dinner too! We all loved the CMA Christmas show.

Tea parties are a must at our house!

Tuesday

HG was back at MDO. Oh MDO how we missed you dearly. I cleaned, wrapped, laundry, errands, etc in the 5 free hours I got. Tonight, we had left over spaghetti and watched Shrek and the Fashion show.

Wednesday

Slept in until 10, so nice. Clothes argument with a little red head. Lunch at Double Dave's was an adventure. Packed Chris for him to fly out to North Carolina. We're going to miss him dearly for the week we are apart. BUT... NC were we come! We had planned on DC as well but our friend is actually going to be in Texas. Kind of bummed about it but hopefully we'll see her in early January.

Worn out and wearing UCLA gear!! Yay for Uncle Ryan!!

PRAYERS NEEDED:

Seems as if there are a lot of sickness/pain going around.
1. Mom's surgery went great and she is resting welling in Batesville. She broke her knee cap in half so if you could say a little prayer for a speedy recovery it would be great. She can't drive for 6-8 weeks, YIKES!

2. A friend is going through something very exciting and very emotional. Prayer for success, she deserves it more than anyone I know.

3. A childhood friend is loosing her dad to Kidney Cancer. I HATE kidney cancer, it killed my mom. Please pray for peace and comfort, she is precious to me.

4. My ever so funny friend Cristi had to put her dad in ICU. His stomach is full of blood, organs are covered in blood and he is really in pain. They are running a bunch of tests and hope for answers in the morning. Her sister's baby shower is this weekend and I am going to get her boys on Saturday.

5. C's grandmother is still recovering from her broken bones which can be a long road right here at the Holidays. She is a strong woman and we know she'll do great.

6. Pray for the little toddler that was lost at Target. Pray that he was just hiding and scared and not gone. It was one of the scariest moments ever.

7. Boots and Copper got out and Boots got his by a car. He had a double break but wasn't killed. He is in a kennel for the next 6-8 weeks with screws and plates in his legs. Poor Puppy, he isn't even a year. Copper is going to be bored.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. God is in control and we are along for his ride, his plan.
