It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It's Evelyn's last week in Primary next week.  I'm sad and excited. I'm sad that the little kid phase of our life is ending so soon, but I'm excited that she's going to be in Young Women's with Ada and I.  I think she will love it and she's so good at serving others.  Our YW's group can use someone so happily enthusiastic as this sweet girl.  The Primary song leader, Virginia, had each of the primaries draw the nativity.  I think she said that the one on the right was the senior primary and the one on the left was the junior Primary.  How cute is this.

I'm so happy in this moment.  Sis Wheelhouse assigned a duet between Sam and Seth; also between Ada and Evelyn.  I love hearing my kids play music.  I love even more when they do it together.


Jer is amazing.  He knew I wanted one of these and he made it happen.  Instead of the very slow filtered water thing that we never use, this is a bottle sprayer.  You put a bottle or cup upside down and push.  It sprays out the inside and you can put it into the dishwasher.  With the daycare cups, sippy cups, bottles, cocoa cups, applesauce bottles, etc... it's very handy.

Even with a dead van outside, a messy house, dirty dishes in the sink and a grouted tile floor that needs to be sealed... we had to take time to start our Christmas tradition of stories on Dad's lap.  Ada had the flu and a friend that needed some emotional support.... so she's on the other side of the room. 


Sam showing his style.  We were getting ready for our Stake Music Night.  Sam and Dad sang marvelously.  Ada was so sick, so she had to sit it out.  I only had concussion brain once during the song which is really great!  It was a very spirit filled night that ended up with a light induced headache. 

Sam and Dad also got up at 4:30am yesterday to go to do baptisms at the temple with the youth.  I'm so proud of Sam!  He didn't even hesitate when I asked if he was going to go to the morning one. (Our ward had one scheduled for before school this week and one evening one for next week.) So proud of you kid.

Rhees Family

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
