Fast, Furious & Fabulous Weekend

The weekend before Christmas was quick and busy...and filled with accomplishments, celebrations, gatherings of families and friends (and even a family picture)!

Thursday night Sophie had her preschool Christmas program. The kids had just come off many snow days, but even on very little practice, they did wonderfully!

Notice Sophie's little friend to her right...already at this young age she is influencing her classmates. This little boy used his dad's razor to shave his head just days before. :)


Friday my youngest brother, Scott, graduated from college. He knows in this market he is very fortunate to already have full-time employment...and especially that in which his talents and interests are utilized. Congrats, Scottie!


My entire family and Scott's godmother, Aunt Barb.

Since Kim, Brian and Aubrey were back from Seattle, a family friend took some pictures for us while we were all together. Since our last one, my brother-in-law, Brian, has been added to the family...and 4 grandkids as well!


Not too bad for 6 kids under 6! :)


Saturday evening my nieces, Kinley and Aubrey, were baptized!
What a wonderful service!

Following the baptism, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner with all the families present. Then, we let the kids open their Christmas PJ's and ornaments from us (as we traditionally do on "our" Christmas Eve)...and jumped into the car to head home. We had asked Santa to come to our house early...and this was the only night it was going to work (as Lainey still had school the next week).
