Busy Weekend

We had a very busy weekend at this house. It started with two nights of Drama (for real this time, not just the stuff that takes place in our house). Sydney was in the Christmas show at church, "Finally home for Christmas" and she loved every minute of it. I did forget my camera, both nights, but I got a pic after it was over and she was hopped up on gingerbread house/red decorater sugar. Matt also got our bath tub fixed. It had a slow leak that turned into a little bit faster leak. The temperature outside got colder and froze the drops as they dripped down all the way into our tub. We had our very own ice rink. So after a few trips to the hardware store he got it fixed and it leaks no more.

We finished off our weekend by getting a Christmas tree and decorating for Christmas. We always have good intentions of going out to cut our own tree down, but again this year opted for the pre cut one. Saul fell asleep in the car and so carrying him in the cold turned our heads to the trees already cut. They had the $50 trees nearest the parking lot so by the time we made our rounds and got to the $15 trees the kids were ready to pick one. I think they were excited and cold and ready to get it home. The kids both agreed on this one so in the trunk it went. I don't think I've ever seen such a short "chubby" (as Sydney calls it) tree. They both liked the idea that it was big on the bottom so lots of presents could fit under it!

Merry Christmas!
