{Day 6}: A Night Out
It was my first night out since 1/15/16 (yes--you read that right) and my first sip & paint with friends. TOTAL fun! I will be doing this again. :)
{Day 7}: The First Christmas Card Of The Season
This year's award goes to our adoption friends in Tinley Park, IL! They are anxiously waiting to bring their daughter home from China in early 2017 and it has been an absolute joy to walk along side them as they wait expectantly on the Lord. In July we'll get to meet them face to face!
{Day 8}: Lawn Dude Gets A Tip
My 'lawn dude' has graciously put the Christmas lights on the house line for several years for which I am VERY thankful. We came home tonight to see him hovering on the roof in the wind & rain checking bulbs---after 2 hours of putting up lights, half of them weren't working. Ugggg. We are buying new ones. He is coming back. Lawn Dude is getting an extra tip this year!
{Day 9}: Errands
The list was long today for our first day off in quite awhile. Usually I try not to schedule more than 3 or 4 stops, but today it was an 8-stop morning. Yikes. We finished off with a trip at the Almond Roca Factory (a hometown specialty) for some extra Christmas treats.
{Day 10}: Christmas Wreaths
I think this tradition started as a way to clean up tree branches after a storm; nine or ten years later it's become a regular Christmas event for four families--food, kids, music, laughter...oh and Christmas wreaths.
...to be continued...
