Our family is right in the middle of the Christmas bustle: parties, church events, having friends over, etc. We've been doing a little bit of it all. I'm really grateful to have Hillary staying with us this week. She finished school a week early so she could have time in Tuscaloosa before going home for Christmas. At Wal-Mart today she grabbed a fussy James out of the buggy while I swiped that debit card and asked, "How do you do this without me?" I'm not really sure. Somehow I survive. You do what you have to do, I guess. But for the past weekend it was a blessing to have her here not only for the fun and laughter, but she offered her babysitting services while KJ and I attended a myriad of social engagements.
Saturday we had a few friends over to watch a movie.
Sunday we held a Lottie Moon banquet at church.
Imagine James being let loose in a gym.
Good thing we had friends who didn't mind chasing him all over the place.
Last night we had a family gathering at the newlyweds' house.
We watched Home Alone...
and played a little Duck Hunt.
(first time to use my self-timer)
Tonight we made a little candy...
...and some potato soup.
Bring on the celebrations.
