Christmas Week

We have had such a wonderful week.  Bruce's last day of work was Friday, Dec 17 so he's been at home and we are all happier when Daddy's home!
Monday morning Lillian and I finally got to the movies to see Tangled.  We've been trying to do this for weeks.  It ended up being perfect though because Gramma Joy was able to meet us.  We also ran into some friends from church.  Lillian has been to the movies a couple times with Bruce but this was my first time with Lillian at the theatre.  We had such a great time.  Lillian is quite dramatic though, she hid her face and screamed at mean "mother", she also cried really hard at the end when she thought Rapunzel's prince had died.  I've never seen her get so involved in a movie! :)
Tuesday Lillian and I went to the Happy Birthday Jesus party at the Daffern's house.  There were children everywhere and I think it reached 80 degrees that day. We had fun playing outside and celebrating the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus.  I also had the thrill of introducing the ladies to sweet potato biscuits.  yummy..an Eastern Shore tradition.
Wednesday the whole family went to Longview, TX to have lunch with Bruce's mother's family.  We don't get to see his cousins much so it was great to spend some time with them.  That evening Bruce and I joined 5 other likeminded brothers and sisters for dinner.  It was a wonderful time of encouragement from people who have been where we are going!
Thursday we spent the day at Bruce's parents.  It was my first time to see the Puckitts!  Lillian had a wonderful time playing with her sisters (cousins) and eating as many sweets as Gramma would give her.  Hopefully there will be no long term damage!
