more and more random happenings:

 

*auntie amy found a ton of berenstain bear books at costco so i had her mail them to us and the girls got them for christmas.

bookworm frankie (and addie) loves 'em.

*matt got industrious and hung our pot rack.

i guess i should have gotten a picture of the finished product.

next time.

*the missionaries helped lex finish 1st nephi.

now she's trucking.

have i mentioned that i just love these guys?

*we went to bus buddy tyler's birthday party.

sad news - no more bus for us since tyler tested out of the special education program.

bummer!

addie was a lil' bit clingy, but she agreed to play pin-the-tail-on-the-elephant as long as i held her hand.

frankie didn't care where i was, she was all over the games.

and she was playing with all 4+ year olds.

girlfriend is crazy.

*on saturday we went to a surprise birthday party the missionaries put together for sis. weaver.

she lives in a retirement community and all her friends had fun holding delaney and playing with frankie. (addie stayed home sick with matt) it was really sweet and i definitely want to go back for another visit.

*because cash registers are fun no matter how old you are.

*we also put the missionaries to work helping with the batting cage.

it's still not done. :(

they were in their suits so matt grabbed them some cloths so they wouldn't get their suits dirty.

we totally southern maryland'ized elder vaterlaus.

and he loved it.

*christmas gift fun.

*i love when kids are sweet together.

ipad fun.

*and more christmas gift fun.

it's been a stay-at-home kinda christmas break.

we haven't really done much of anything and i've had a little bit of cabin fever.

so christian and i went shopping saturday night.

we made some returns and spent some kohls cash, i love spending time with that sweet boy when he's sweet.

 

today was a linger longer at church. the yummiest linger longer we've had in a long time and it will be the last we'll have for a long time since next week we're going to 9am meetings. so sad!!!

 

we haven't had too much of a nye plan, but i think (hope) it's starting to come together.

someone forgets that someone is only 14 and that can make things hard.

hopefully we can get it together and have a nice night.

that is all. :)
