Hope all had a very merry week!

There is only 1/2 hour left in this very merry week. This is also the 1/2 hour of silence of this week. We have had some wonderful days! The week started out with the most uplifting special meetings I can remember. They get better every year and once again we were not disappointed.

Sunday night the kids got to go to Grandpa and Grandma Anderson's for the very first time! They walked clear across the front yard and spent the night in G&G's motorhome. It was very special to be able to go to their "house" for the night.

Randy and I spent Christmas Eve morning preparing the kids' Christmas presents....bedroom makeovers! It was time to redo everything!!! My excitement bubble popped when we opened the brand new dresser and saw that it was broken. I called the company and there was no problem sending it back....until I went to UPS and found out it would cost $800 to ship!!! Now the girls didn't have their new headboards and dresser, but there was enough change that we knew they'd still be excited. We finished with everything else and G&G brought the kids back home after a special breakfast out and Christmas began for all of us! (I took before pictures of the bedrooms, but I have to wait until we get the new furniture (that I have to fix) before I take after pictures, then I'll post them.) The excitement in their eyes and voices made me forget all about broken furniture and outrageous shipping costs!

A much desired MP3 player...New bedding makes for a very comfy bed and a perfect place for hours of fun with his new gameboy...A dollhouse taller than she is has become part of the living room decor...

Three very happy kids!
