I was fed up with a line of yellow tape on the wall for a couple of months so I finally set aside my day to finish painting the stripes on Ricki's wall. Next step: finishing Ricki's wood letters to hang on this cute wall!

Ricki needed to help daddy figure out what was wrong with the oven. Together, they figured out that the ignitor went out. *Sigh.* Now we have to wait for the part to come before we can do our holiday baking.

We went to a really amazing fundraiser tonight. Our friends from the ward, the Earnest's, helped organize it for a friend that was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He is having very expensive brain surgery and needs all the financial help he can get. Their goal for this fundraiser was $13,000 and they actually raised $26,000 - double the goal! It was awesome!! My kids had a blast and loved talking with Santa. He was so great with them!

Although I kinda hate this picture of me, I had so much fun running into an old friend. This is Kim Wright. She was in my parent's ward when I was in high school. She was my young women's leader and she even did my hair for a school dance! So fun to see her!!

First of all, HaPpY bIrThDaY jEnNi!! 34 years old!! :) We obviously had a busy day. It started out with me riding Trax downtown by myself to attend Jami & Greg Glines' temple sealing. It was so beautiful and her kids were so very sweet in their whites! I got home, changed into jeans, and Simon & I left to head back downtown for Jenni's birthday dinner at Rodizio Grill. Ah man, SO good!! :) We were supposed to go back downtown yet again but it didn't work out with Simon's family so we decided to stay home and decorate. We all worked on the tree and then I finished up the rest of the house. Needless to say, we were exhausted by bedtime!

We celebrated Jenni's birthday at Sunday dinner. It was lots of fun being there with the family. Mom has a new Sunday tradition of putting naked Ricki in the sink to "help" her with the dishes. How cute is that little bum?!?
How fun that you ran into Kim Wright?! She made such an impression on me at a time when I was struggling with things. Cute picture!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that bum!
