Busy Weekend

ZZZzzzzzz....Man are we tired. This holiday weekend packed a punch. After the lazy Thanksgiving meal and R&R on Friday, we hit the ground running Saturday morning. The family spent 3 hours at dance practice. Wow this was a blast because we got to dance with some of the more advanced dancers. We finally got home in time to eat, get cleaned up and off to church we go. This weekend at church we performed a vingette in the church atrium. The sermon series is titled "The Word Became Flesh". What a powerful message. Our skit setting was a family "The German Five" spending an evening together reading and worshipping. We were in our PJ's (YIKES) and we read the story about Christ's birth then we sang songs to baby Jesus. We spent some time decorating the family tree and then reading a wonderful book by Max Lucado. The story we read was about a lamb named Joshua that was lame. In the end he was the farm animal that kept baby Jesus warm in the manger. We did this all three services. After church on Sunday, we had drama practice with some high schoolers and a few adults. We are working on a black light pantomime...EXCITING! After finishing up practice, we went over to a friends house to celebrate Erich's birthday. Do you see the lovely hat? It was adorned with unicorns, stars, and a lovely sheer vail! What a sport, you wouldn't catch me dead in that thing! We had pizza and a wonderful red velvet cake...Oh did I tell you Tonya and I were super sore from the three hours of dancing. Our calves are still on fire 3 days later! Can't wait to do it again next week!! Also this weekend we rearranged our house for several hours to put up our tree just to end up in the same setup. We put the tree up, then we moved the girls downstairs to the basement. We are making an office/school room out of their old room and then making a partition for some privacy in the basement. They needed more space.
