Twas 3 Weeks Before Christmas

When all through the house...there was concerts and parties, etc. etc.

It has been a busy week.  Here are just a few highlights...

Sunday we didn't attend Sunday services but instead we cleaned up our neighborhoods.  It was amazing how many people came out to help.  Almost everything was cleaned up by 3:00pm. 




We watched the First Presidency Christmas Devotional and they announced the first official release of the New Testament Vignettes!  We did not participate in any of the scenes before the baptism of Jesus but it was amazing to see the final product.  They did an amazing job putting it all together.  And the truthfulness of it all can be felt very strongly!  They called it a gift to the world and they truly are!  You can watch the vignettes at:

Monday was supposed to be FHE but since we all worked together on Sunday and we had a million things going that night we considered that our FHE for the week.  Monday night CR was at gymnastics, S had to attend a band concert, and C was doing her nails for the Christmas Dance.


Tuesday night was youth activities and C, S, and CR went to temple square.

Wednesday night was class for me and CR had gymnastics and a big assignment due that he forgot about :(

Thursday night was the Dance Company Christmas Concert.

Friday night C went on her day date for the dance, CR had a fundrasing concert that he was playing in and we went to watch him.

Saturday we went and saw the a premier of "Chipwreked".  We weren't too excited about the movie but every once in a while we still have to see these type of movies for G's sake.  By the time we got there the tickets were all gone but a nice lady had extras and gave us 4 tickets so we got to see it. 



Afterwards we did some Christmas shopping.  And Jasmine had a recital that we attended. 




Then we hurried home so we could take pictures of C and her group getting ready to go to the Christmas Dance.  She looked beautiful.  And I guess in between everything else that was going on this week I had to alter C's dress and add sleeves to it to make it modest. 





And that's that for this week.  Another busy one next week!

Wow busy week! It sounds like lots of fun though :) The girls (esp. Sid) look so old in that picture from cleaning up! And Carina looks soooo beautiful and grown up in that picture! Wow, it's so cute :) I'm glad you are all caught up so that you can blog about everything each week. It's nice to read about what's going on at home for you guys. You gave me the idea that I'm going to try and blog about each week on my kiki's krazy world blog each sunday. Can't wait to see you in a WEEK!
