Our weekend




This weekend was an eventful weekend Leanne came over at 8:30am to go shopping. We got some fun Christmas decor and some materials to try at making some bulbs for our tree. We were looking all over for stockings because we both have kids without. The kids just want their name on them. We thought about making them for a few minutes but I didn't want anything too fancy, or country so I ended up buying $2.00 Walmart stockings and writing their names on with felt markers. It will do for this year and maybe one of these years I will find what we want. I came home and met Cam at the church. He had all the kids at the primary program practice. The Bishopric was cooking them breakfast. I took Brielle to a Princess party and Leanne and I tried making our christmas bulbs. Not a success-we are still working on them. Cam put up the lights and came and grabbed me to get a picture for the blog. Then Leanne told you about our shopping experience. We took 8 kids under 7 to the mall to try on Jeans. It was a success! Leanne, Maryann and John all found a pair. The kids even got to see Santa. Brielle was the only one who wanted to sit on his lap. Leanne's kids did also-they loved it. Sunday the kids had their primary program. Cam got to come and sit with me and Trey. Bryson and Brielle did great. Brielle was especially cute. She memorized her part Matthew 5 vs 16. I wish I could have taken a video of it. She made Cam and I both cry. One of the neatest parts of the program was the closing song. The congregation stood and sang count your many blessings. It was amazing to look at all the primary children and realize the many blessings right in front of us. The kids and I started decorating the tree while we waited for Cam. Brielle fell asleep at the table waiting for him. We are excited to see everyone this weekend. We hope you all are taking the time to enjoy the season. It can fly by too fast. I am going to try and make the most of it this year. We will be up north for thaksgiving. We are excited for Barrett's wedding this weekend as well. We also get to go see Toby and Josie's new baby Cash Jay Christesen. We are hoping to make a trip up to Park City for some shopping. Have a wonderful thanksgiving everyone!!

Michelle: I'm so impressed that you have all of your Christmas up! I need to get myself going! Sounds like you had a fun weekend! I was sick yesterday so I missed the primary program but I heard it was great! Hopefully I will see you tomorrow walking. It is always a battle the whole time with the kids but I think I am going to attempt it tomorrow, I feel so good after it's over!!! Elsha
