Glen had 3 one-act plays on Monday. Andrew came home from college late Tuesday night. Turkey + all the fixings + family on Thursday. Games + leftovers + family + friends on Friday. Early birthday celebration for me on Saturday (Andrew was here, we have low delayed gratification skills, and everyone wanted to play with my birthday gift the Kindle Touch, so we had cake and ice cream for me--thanks Calista for sharing your research with us so we could choose what we wanted). Great week.

| Joseph was great in his role in "The Romanian Uranium Mystery" |
 |
| It was such a shocker I had to take a photo of it...Ryan on the stage as an extra, with Eric. They were pretty funny, too. |
 |
| I got the advent calendar stocked with chocolate and scriptures |
 |
| Hannah worked on her craft project |
 |
| Alex had a craft project of his own: making a turkey using my punches |
 |
| Eric, Alex, Hannah, and Andrew playing Dominion |
 |
| Fun and games--Hannah, Victoria, Erin, and Madison |
 |
| Only one candle as 50 wouldn't have fit and would have taken too much time |
 |
| Alex, Hannah, Eric, Elder Siné, Travis, Jiaxin, Eric, and Ryan and Elder Chamberlain |

| I also had a craft project...I made 3 sets of blocks that each have 3 seasons on them |
It looks to me like you need to volunteer to the R.S. presidency to do a super saturday and show us all how to make the blocks and the advent calendar! Very cute! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and Happy, Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Looks like you all had a very busy week.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Isn't it awesome?!! I love it. LOVE it. And you are now the second person that has bought a Kindle, thanks to that post (not including me) :). Amazon should pay me commission or something...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday my friend - it looks like you had a great week!
ReplyDeleteWell, Annalee, the blocks are Rayanne's project and I bought the advent calendar. I just wrapped the chocolates in different paper with scripture references inside.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes, though it makes me feel guilt as it's not for another 1 1/2 weeks. I said we celebrated early...way early.
And I'm still learning how to navigate with the kindle so at this point it's still a bit frustrating, but Alex sure loves it.
