December has arrived and everywhere you look Christmas is in the air -- isn't it a wonderful feeling! I absoulutely LOVE this time of the year. We've had a great week and these are a few of the happenings of our first week of December:
I was not feeling well the first couple days of the week but glad to say I'm feeling much better now. Ethan is finishing up with exams (yay!) and doing pretty well. He's working hard but had a little accident at work cutting his thumb pretty bad while slicing lemons (whew--that lemon juice had to hurt!) landing him in the ER in Florence. Luckily he didn't have to have stitches and he said the nurse was really cute that took care of him so maybe it wasn't too bad an experience for him...Erika and Jack are staying busy in Idaho working and Jack is getting ready for a new semester in school in the winter. Erika is now 17 weeks pregnant -- ALMOST HALF WAY!!! The end of the week Joey and I had a day to spend together shopping and browsing all over Columbia. He's such a great sport with shopping and we have such a good time together. Joey and I had my KCMC Christmas Party Friday night at the Health Resource Center and we had a great time. Saturday was Addison's special day as she was chosen for the Miss LE Pageant (see Slide Show in next blog entry) and she was absolutely gorgeous! We were all so proud of her and especially for her choice in wearing a modest gown -- she really is great girl if I say so myself! :) I hope it was a very special day for her getting her hair and makeup and all that girl stuff done! She and her friend, Kelsey, had fun getting ready together and Kelsey is also such a sweetheart as well as an awesome softball player! Thanks also to Jenny who helped Addison pick out an outfit for her casual wear -- sometimes it's easier for our daughters to shop with someone else and Jenny is such an awesome shopper! Love you, Jenny!!! It was also so wonderful to have Addison's extended family there for support - Grandmother and Grandaddy, Abby, Aunt Tiawanna, Ginger, Darla, Jody, Wesley and his mom (Karen), Grammy, her dad and step-mom, Ivy, and cousins Susan-Marie and Claire. This really meant alot to Addi -- thanks, ya'll!
Tonight was a very special night as we went to my parents' house to watch the First Presidency Christmas Devotional Broadcast. Wow -- how wonderful that was because my parents had all three of their children with them watching the devotional together. It was such a neat experience and I know they were so happy for this experience. We'd been at their house earlier in the day for lunch as we do so many Sundays and had a great day even enjoying a family movie together (Nanny McPhee - not sure if I spelled it right). It was a very good Sunday and going back tonight to watch the Christmas devotional and enjoying the beautiful messages by our beloved prophet and his counselors and the wonderful music by the Tabernacle Choir was just the perfect night with family. Yes, I love December and it's entrance into our family has been a grand one!
