Today I spent more time than it should have taken finishing up a gift for another baby Hale (Phil’s brother’s child) due at the end of the month. With 2 little ones around an hour long project turned into a 6 hour marathon of cut, sew,
feed, pin, sew,
change diaper, sew,
get Lily off of Clara, pin, sew,
get juice, etc, etc.
With only one more week until Christmas I finally had “spare” time to put a few decorations in the girls’ room. Lily likes to play with the dolls that are up on this shelf while she’s being changed. Now she can play with little baby Jesus.
Bellow are the slippers and bib I made. Lindsay, if you’re reading this DON’T LOOK!

Phil and I treated ourselves to a day out. We braved the 8 degree temperature and some ice to get to Sioux City. We ran errands, ate lunch at El Gardin O’live and had Starbucks coffee at Barnes and Noble. A very nice break and since we’re done with our Christmas shopping it was good to not have to worry about getting too far into the hustle and bustle!

Today we began working on the cards we will take to our church’s shut-in members when we visit them this week and by “we” I mean “I” but Lily sat beside me very nicely and colored…and threw pencils.
This evening we were invited to a Christmas open house where we saw a lot of our friends and drank punch.

Lily woke this morning to find our Christmas tree all lit up in the living room. She stared for a minute then laughed. Just like her daddy, she’s not very fond of anything new or different so I’m glad that she has warmed up to it quickly and we don’t have to avoid the living room or be right next to her when she’s in there for the next 12 days!
We also received a package from UPS. A gift for the girls from their grandparents which we have hidden until the big day. It’s so exciting to have packages delivered during the Christmas season!
