Christmas Lights

We had a great weekend with our church's Christmas Breakfast. We enjoyed chatting with friends, participating in singing, and eating yummy food while Neal took in a morning session at the Dallas Temple. Some of our friends were not able to make it due to work and health issues so we stopped by to visit briefly afterwards and deliver a few plates of food and an ornament that was handed out at the activity.

During Thanksgiving break, we put seeing the Christmas lights on the calendar for this weekend, an activity we usually enjoy with Oma and Opa but they had travel plans so we were going to go it alone. Unfortunately, Opa got pneumonia and they were not gone this weekend. He just recently started a second medication which seems to be doing the job but is still contagious. The silver lining here was that we got Oma for the Christmas lights while Opa got rest.

Today the kids sang with the other Primary children in sacrament meeting at church and did a great job. It was a newer Christmas song, Little One, that we all learned and practiced given that the whole family is in Primary as either child or teacher. It took even us parents a while to learn.

While Sophie and Neal were at choir practice for their Christmas number which they sing next week, Rhys and I baked more cookies. We spent the evening delivering them to individuals and families. Then walking in our neighborhood to see some of the light displays.
