CHOIR
I absolutely loved singing in the choir on Christmas Day!  I don't think I've ever done that- that I can remember.  So amazing.  Made Christmas and celebrating the birth of Christ that much sweeter.  12-25-16

POST CHRISTMAS
I think this bug has gotten the best of us.  Nobody seems to be doing too well.  Everyone is on edge and having a hard time entertaining themselves.  Including me.  I hope we can snap out of it before Christmas break is over.  I wish say that at least we did just have Christmas- makes it a little easier to fake like we're having a good time :).  12-26-16

Well, I've been horrible at documenting things!!  I'm embarrassed.  I guess I have done a few picture posts from this week, but otherwise- I can't remember much!  I'm going to make an attempt to just hit the basics, but I'm sad I didn't take better notes.

KRISPY KREME
After the non-playgroup, it was too soon to go home because Nate was sleeping from the mid, so we (thanks to Kelly's idea) drove up to Krispy Kreme and got some of our free good grade donuts and took them down to visit the Hatches.  That was a lot of fun.  Just being able to hang out with them lately has been so much fun.  Too bad they were feeling sick, but we enjoyed their fun and then took off.  12-28-16

NEW YEAR'S EVE EVE WITH THE MAUGHANS
Since Nate had to work Saturday, I insisted that we hang out with the Maughans on Friday instead- took some twisting of Emily's arm, but we worked it out. Then invited ourselves to their house because it's much more pleasant to be in.  We had so much fun!!!  Everyone gets along so well!  I think we only had 2 moments of tears and I'm pretty sure, just based on how perfect all our kids are, that they were accidents.  We played a fun game called Racko that I totally loved!!  I want that game!  We quit before I had a chance to win of course, but made up for it with Apples to Apples where I proceeded to win every round (or was it just the last two?  Did we play more than two?  This memory of mine...).  It is always so fun to be with the Maughans.  They are such good friends, so easy going and it just feels so relaxed and comfortable.  We played a couple rounds of Telestrations during our overstay, which ended up being HILARIOUS!  I'm so glad we did that.  Then went home.  Such a good time.  Made up for not being able to hang out with them the next night :).  12-30-16
