So, it's kinda hard to see most of these pictures because it was so dark in the auditorium but as you can see in the first picture with Nani....Gideon and Lucy were sheep in the Christmas play at church last night and it was a riot!! They had a dress rehersal on Sat morning and there was stuffing EVERYWHERE!!!! The kids were picking it off their costumes and throwing it on eachother! We had to do some repair work when it was all done. Lucy absolutely refused to cooperate on Sat and go on stage so I figured she wouldn't do it last night but....she surprised us and was a total ham! Gideon was a little upset because he did not have a bigger part. The whole evening he was sure to remind mom, dad and Nani that next year when he was six, he would be up with the big kids by Mary and Joseph. Lucy was really cute on the stage. There was a part where all the sheep were to go to sleep and lay on their pillows....well Lucy decided she was going to camp out on her pillow the whole time not just at that one part. The picture of her with the candle in front of her is at the end of the play when all the other sheep were to be standing up helping to sing Go Tell it on the Mountain. Lucy decided she'd rather sleep more...so she moved with the rest of the crowd....taking her pillow with her and her sheep hat off...she plopped her pillow down in the midst of everyone and went to sleep...peeking up every once in a while to check out the crowd...hilarious!! She is so funny! Anyway it was a cute play and the kids did well for as little of parts they had!
We got a lot done this weekend...almost all our Christmas shopping is done...in the bag...literally in our bedroom closet. Friday night we hit the local shops and picked out our annual ornament of the year at Candy Cane. Gideon chose a "bass" it's really a rainbow trout but that's alright! Saturday we finished up shopping in Toledo. Let me just say....the crowds were terrible! We decided to take the kids with us after their practice on Sat and Keith spent a lot of the afternoon in the car watching videos with kids while I ran in and out of stores, standing in massive lines to pay!! I thought if we went 3 weeks before Christmas we'd be good....NOT AT ALL!! I think everyone had the same idea. I spent 45 minutes in Kohls and only 20 was spent shopping. I had to stand in line for almost a 1/2 hour to pay!! AHHHHH!! That's enough to drive me to insanity! Toys R Us was actually the most efficient! Once I found what I wanted I had to only wait for one person to check out ahead of me!
Sat. night we relaxed and unwound with Keith's mom and dad. It was really a great weekend despite the rushing around and we got a lot done.
This week is going to be a big one! Today is our regular manic Monday and was added to by Lucy's eye appointment this morning which...HALLELUJAH her eye sight is back up to 2020 in both eyes so now we can stop the patch for awhile and don't have to go back until March. Then we took Gideon to Preschool and will pick him up at 330....come home and at 445 rush Lucy to Dance. Lucy has dance 4 outof the 5 nights this week because her recital is on Friday. Tomorrow Keith leaves for San Fran for another meeting and then Lucy has dance and then we may head to my moms because Wed. morning I work at the hospital. Thurs Keith comes back and Lucy has one more dance practice before Friday on which we go to the dance recital at 6:00 watch Lucy....leave the kids with my mom and rush to arrive late at Keith's work Christmas which I love because his boss is an exceptionally excellent cook. We usually have steak on his indoor grill...shrimp, scallops....a really good salad...potato and veggie....and a yummy dessert! We'll probably make it just for the dessert but it all depends on how Lucy's dance goes!! Anyway Sat is a free day but we may go over to Keith's parents to see cousins coming into town. On Sunday we have most of the day free after church but then we're going to Stella Blue's to watch some people sing and visit with Chad and his new girlfriend who will be in town....anyway...I feel a little frazzled! It doesn't help that Keith is gone the entire middle of this week and the next but I must not complain about his job in this economy! I hope everyone is having a less frantic holiday season! Love to all!
