The busiest time of year

Here is a glimpse of our decorations. We really are glad the snow melted this weekend because now we might get the rest of the lights up. There are still two more boxes to put out but not sure we will.


Friday I had a Girl Scout card making party at our house. We made cards for elderly in Zeeland. Saturday RIley and I got up and went shopping. We were gone for 7 hours and we accomplished it all! I had only a couple things to still take care of and we did that after church on Sunday. Grandma Jennifer cut Riley' hair when we got home from shopping.


Sunday we went to church and Carter sat in church with us for the first time. He did so good. For some reason he did not want to go to nursery and really wanted to go to our church. On the way he was asking us if he could go with us and we told him no because nursery was so fun. He asked "Is your church boring?" So we told him yes so he would want to go to nursery and that backfired because he replied "I like boring things!" So anyway, we were very pleased with his behavior and to be honest it was nice having all of us together in church. If you know Carter though you would understand why he is three and this is the first time we tried!

After church we went to see Santa and I will try to get the picture scanned to share it. We did some shopping and then went to Grand Rapids to see Aunt Allison and Uncle Jim's new house. It is so nice and we had a wonderful time. The kids all love playing together.
