Christmas Party and Christmas Pictures

-
This weekend was busy!  On Friday night we had our Small Group over for a Sunday School Christmas party.  I felt like a real adult!  I used my Lenox Christmas China, made cider, and made homemade lasagna.  We had about 20 people over eating and playing games - really fun games.  It was so much fun.

The next morning we went over to Gran's for Christmas pictures. Finn and Sam were already there because they spent the night with Gran.  Michael, Will and I overslept and were late - of course.   Gran had bought all the boys Christmas pajamas.  Sharon took the pictures in front of a white background - they are going to be gorgeous!

Afterwards Gran took us all to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.


Later that evening Michael and I went to Pinewood Social for Carissa's Birthday party.  I had coffee and fried broccoli. It was so good. 



The party goers:  Jeremy, Martha, Michael, Me, Brandon, Carissa, Chase, Lindsey, Taylor and Ryan.


Gran stayed home with Will. I snuck up on them and took this picture.

On Sunday I went back to Nashville to have brunch with Mat Pauley and Dawn at Kitchen Notes.  I haven't seen either Mat or Dawn in six (6) years so it was nice to catch up. I took Will with me and he was pretty good.  I did end up having to leave a little early when he got fussy.


When I got back from breakfast Sam and I made gingerbread cookies for his "special snack."  Finn cut the cookies out and Sam sprinkled them - whilst topless.


Finn and his dough ball.  I won't even mention what he "pretended" this ball of dough to be.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
