I took a very sad Delaney to the dentist on Wednesday. She’s having friend troubles and she hates everything about her orthodontic experience. She’s got retainers, basically Invisalign, and she hates this too. She’s at the point where she’s asking why she can’t just keep her crooked teeth. She was in such a bad mood that I suggested she just come home and relax and regroup. It’s been a sad couple of months over here and we all need a little grace.
I took her to ballet that night and went shopping, which I feel like is the story of my life lately. This time it was for seminary brekkie and ward Christmas party food.
I got up at 4 on Thursday morning and made a million crepes, sausage, bacon, a couple different kinds of eggs, and cut up fruit. The missionaries came over too and Matt shared a quick message and they spent the rest of the morning visiting. These are such good kids and we’re so happy to treat them.
They are good kids that do not participate in a silly shot, I’ll tell you that much.
Alecia kept me company and washed all the dishes which was so nice and made the cleanup super easy.
I often take pictures looking towards the family room, but as I was wrapping presents and had this view I just love how festive it is.
Frankie had an afternoon field trip to the Kennedy center that night and didn’t get home till after midnight, so she skipped seminary on Friday.
Matt and I went to give blood Friday morning and it hurt so bad. From the finger prick to the blood needle, both burned in a way I’ve never experienced before and I felt gross all day. I came home and laid down because I was so tired and also felt weird after giving blood, another first, and accidentally slept for 4 hours. 😬

I got up and took some ibuprofen and the girls and I made some Hawaiian haystacks. It was the Darrow Christmas party that night which is always so fun and I was so bummed that I low level felt yuck. We played two fun games, one that I was terrible at and one that my team dominated and then the gift exchange is always fun. Two years in a row now our gifts have been some of the last chosen which makes for no stealing potential. Even Matt mentioned that we needed to up our presentation game. And sadly, I didn’t take a single picture. But the food was delicious and it was a really fun mix of people and we stayed out till midnight. It’s such a generous gift to us that Alecia throws this party every year. She gives prizes and so much delicious food and it’s such a good time, I have goals to be a party thrower like her.
