A Wonderful Weekend

We had a very busy but fun weekend at the Egbert house!  Saturday the girls went over to Grammy’s to help cousin Sandy decorate the Christmas tree.  Although I am not sure how much “help” Haley was she certainly had a good time!  Ally stayed at Grammy’s and spent the night so she could attend a choir performance in the morning with Grammy & Papa.  Haley came home to a decorated house (Mom & Dad spent the day cooking, decorating & doing yard work) and took a nap before friend’s came over for a small housewarming party. We had four kids under the age of two over – Haley, Makenna, Lyric & Coco.  All the adults had fun playing with the babies and laughing at Haley & Makenna’s antics! They really have a blast playing together! After a nice evening with friends we went to bed so we could have another fun day of Christmas shopping with Auntie Shoe followed by a nice evening with Uncle enjoying the Festival of Lights at the Grotto.     Haley loved all the people and all the cool lights! She was running around touching all the lights and being generally sweet & cute like usual :)     Haley was exhausted so Dad picked her up and took her home while Ally & Mom had yummy dinner at Uncles.  It was a great way to cap off a really great weekend!

Up and running again!

So I FINALLY have all the things I need to start posting my blog again – camera battery, download cord & laptop – hurray!  Since my camera has not been working until recently I do not have too many photos to post but I do have a few good ones from the last couple of weeks :)  We have all been busy with various school and holiday related activities – I will go over some of the highlights…  A fantastic afternoon downtown with Uncle to see the Singing Christmas tree with Ally…  Two band concerts – one at Zoolights and Ally’s final performance at Alder Creek (she will start at her new school in January)… A meatloaf in true Grammy style in the shape of a house to honor our new home… And of course a not so successful trip with Haley to meet Santa (Haley not a big fan)… As you can see we have been busy but having lots of fun!  Haley is getting so big and learning new things every day!  Today she got a spoon out of the dishwasher and walked over and put it in the silverware drawer – Momma’s little helper!  She is so sweet and funny and brings us so much joy.  We are truly blessed this holiday season!
