Today Daddy got to go to work later than normal, so we had a fun morning together with Swedish pancakes and lots of train fun. Then Victor and I went to the office to have lunch with him and get a little work done.
Tonight he was off for a festive Ugly Sweater Party with the senior highers (V and I were hoping to attend as well, but it was too far away...). But we didn't have to just mope alone at home! First we skyped with Grammy and Grandad, and then we assembled a Christmas stocking full of goodies to deliver to our neighbors across the street.
Earlier this week, a friend from church "socked" us (gave us the aforementioned Christmas stocking with a whole slew of fun treats), and then we were to fill it up again and give it to someone else, who would pass it on to someone else, etc.
Mr. Dave and Miss Karen were at home and tickled to be recipients of the gift. And then they invited us to stay for supper! Victor got to play with fun little people and trucks, and we had a really nice dinner.
A very fun unexpected treat from the Lord.
Saturday, Dec 14: Go to dinner and Christmas worship celebration at church.
We all had a great time enjoying a bbq dinner at church and the beginning of the beautiful worship service, before heading home to get to bed before it got too late.
Sunday, Dec 15: See pretty lights and a puppy while Christmas shopping.
Christmas lights are a real highlight of the season for Victor, and we hit the jackpot when we went to one store and saw pretty (i.e. Christmas) lights AND got to say hi to a big, friendly dog. And we got Pop-pop's Christmas present!
Monday, Dec 16: Finish the day with a Christmas Oreo.
It was another morning of Christmas shopping with Mom, but the fun part of the day was being all together for supper and finishing off our pizza with a tasty Oreo treat.
Tuesday, Dec 17: Play in the snow with Dad.
Today I had a long meeting Downtown all afternoon, and Ben was home working on a big final paper and studying, so he took a little break to have fun with Victor while I was gone. They went out and frolicked in the snow (although it was still too cold and powdery to make a good snowman). It was a happy picture to receive in the middle of a long meeting...
looks like fun!
