Dec 4 - 10

Monday, December 4 - Simon got an awesome invitation to go to the new Hale Center Theater for their first production on the new stage; Aida! If you know me, you know this is my VERY FAVORITE play ever! When Simon called and told me they had two tickets for him, I about screamed! This was such a wonderful night!

Tuesday, December 5 - And just like that they're off! Kendra is done with round 1 of her braces. They had to expand her upper pallet and pull her front teeth together so that there is space for her canine teeth to come. I told Dr. Rosvall that I had to have mine pulled down with braces and he said that this is what they can do to avoid having to do that. Hooray for getting braces off...until round 2 begins! :) Also, happiest of birthdays to my sweet sister!

Wednesday, December 6 - We had a really fun Young Women's activity tonight. Carli Bringhurst (one of the girls in our class) came and taught us calligraphy. She does the fancy watercolor calligraphy art that is so popular right now. It was really so much fun! The girls loved it...and I kinda did too! :) 

Thursday, December 7 - I am working on Viv's 2018 calendar for Christmas. I asked Ashley and Alexis for Christmas pictures of their family this year. I realized that was asking a lot since it's only December 7 but Ashley sent me this. How cute is this Pearson family?!?

Friday, December 8 - Nick was invited tonight to a pizza/gingerbread house making party at the Nyholm's. I am so thrilled that Nick has these friends to hang out with and that they are getting closer. I also think Jenny is brave and kind to host this without it being someone's birthday! Haha! :) 

Saturday, December 9 - This morning was our ward Christmas party and guess who showed up?!? SANTA! My kids were thrilled...but not as thrilled as I was that now we don't have to go to the mall to see him. :) I love the ward parties and I love hanging out with this crew...Santa included. 

Sunday, December 10 - Because I'm miserable at remembering to take pictures on Sundays and because I had to include this special picture of Brielle, this is the pic of the day. How sweet and innocent is little Brielle in this picture? Jenni posted it and it is now one of my favorite Christmas pictures. I love my 'Rellie.
