Our good friend Daniel McCombs turned 11 a couple of weeks ago. His super fun mom Laura rented out the base movie theater and invited pretty much everyone they know to celebrate. It was tons of fun. Ethan and I went. Sadly Lu was grounded so she, Hannah and Dad went fishing. (still no fish caught). We saw Percy Jackson and the kids ate treats. It was fun to be there with so many friends. Happy Birthday Daniel!
Immediately after we went to the church where we met the Streeters and Bro. Rose. It was our turn to clean the church. Zach, who was coming over to play after helped too. It took less than 2 hours and we had the whole place sparkly. I am so very grateful for our church building, our church family and most of all the restored gospel of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
When we finished R rushed home with the boys to watch the Ohio State Michigan game. The Buckeyes won. Arden came home with us. The girls made snowflakes, made cookies and played with Z.
The boys watched the game, played soccer, went to John's and watched the game and played soccer.
Hannah left with Alyssa. They went ice skating and shopping in Waldorf.
In the evening we went to the Ray's. They had a going away party for the Duffins who are moving to Hawaii to work at the PCC. It was a ugly sweater party. Tons of people came and it was a lot of fun. R and I just got sweaters out of our closets. R won the tied for ugliest "bill cosby" sweater. I didn't place :)
In the middle of the night we had puke. How much puke can one family have? These kids have the weakest stomachs. This one didn't make it out of the bedroom and it was disgusting. Wrapping freshly laundered towels on our faces (a trick I learned from me papa) was the only way we could even enter the room. We need to invest in hazmat suits.
Lastly yesterday Xavier, our very own little elf on the shelf, made an appearance at our house. His job is to watch the kids then each night magically transport to the North Pole and report to the big guy. This morning we found him hanging onto the chandelier in the foyer. He must need to work on his navigation skills a little so he doesn't land in such dangerous spots.
