Christmas Angel has returned!
Christmas Angel has been located. Apparently, some of Santa's elves and reindeer have been very ill. Santa requested the help of the Christmas Angels to get the Northpole back on track. All is well now, with reindeer and elves fully recovered and Santa almost ready for Christmas Eve. The Christmas Angel brought Courtney a fun painting project (will post pics once finished). Courtney was thrilled the Angel finally returned.

Oh my Goodness What Happened????
I just don't know what happened. The Christmas Angel has gone AWOL, I am behind on blogging, and I am not sure I even know what day it is. Oh wait.....It's Christmas time!!!! Lots of presents to wrap (only a few to still get), a Christmas Angel to locate, Christmas cards that have not made it out yet again (maybe they will be Happy New Year cards), and a lot of pumpkin bread to still make. Dance recital today - school program tomorrow - family fun, caroling and lots of lights to see. Oh and lots not forget - pictures to post on the blog (just not tonight). Life is going to be filled to the brim and I wouldn't change a second. I love this time of year!!!

Weekend Catch-Up
What a great weekend (except for missing our Mighty Hunter).
Friday 12/11: Courtney had a movie playdate scheduled to see Princess and the Frog with some of the girls from her class. I thought the movie was cute - Courtney thought it was "so boring, mom"! I think she was just tired. Note before and after pics:)
Before movie:
After movie:
The other girls seemed to like it.
Richelle and Aliya came over for a sleepover after the Movie! Fun Fun. We thought about cricuting but instead watched hours of Say Yes to the Dress!
Saturday 12/12: Fun afternoon getting to luncheon with Grandma, mom and Richelle. Grandma had her hair done. She looked Gorgeous dahling!
Sunday: Great day at church but we really are missing our daddy. Fortunately he is coming home! Amy came over and the girls built a pretty large blanket fort in Court's room. Not a bad fort for the size of the room....

Catching Up
Here is my catch up over a few days
Monday 12/7: Fun day hanging out with Shannon Mecham making the pocket phone list for Relief Society and getting all the food for our Relief Society Social. I will say that I almost slit my wrists at 2am when I couldn't get the format to work for the phone lists. Slept for 3 1/2 hours and finally got it. Shannon was a trouper hanging out with me at Office Max while we copied and assembled. Than we were off to Costco to buy the appetizers and desserts. It was fun. Thanks to Alison for letting Courtney play so she didn't have to run around with us.
Tuesday 12/8: Courtney had a great time playing with Carley. Paula gave us their trampoline and the girls had a great time:)
Tuesday Night - The Relief Society Social was wonderful. Debbie Andrews' home was beautiful and the food was great (we didn't run out!). The music was fabulous and we collected a lot of cookies for our troups! What great sisters we have in our ward!
Wednesday 12/09- So much fun hanging out with Alison in the morning - who helped me get motivated to go to DI.
Thursday 12/10- Super fun busy busy day. Richelle came up and I finally unboxed my shiny red Cricut I bought on black friday. It is so fun! We played and played. Then took Courtney to dance class. After dance class we made our selves sick on all you can eat Pizza. Because if I am going to pay $3.99 for all you can.....I am all you can eating! Sad yes Sad.
Thursday night we had our ward's Souper Saturday Craft Make-up. Courtney and Richelle helped and we ended up having some more fun!

Having Fun Playing
Finally have a few photos loaded and having fun finding new ways to make my blog do what I think I want it to do. This really can take up far too much time and I should really go to bed.

Day Recap
Last night was our Relief Socity Christmas Social at Debbie Andrew's home. It was absolutely beautiful. Shannon Mecham did such a great job arranging the muscial numbers and putting everything together. The Andrew's home was beautiful, as usual, with incredible Christmas decorations. A great way to get into the Christmas spirit.
Courtney spent part of the evening at the Doherty's since Chris was flying home from Vegas. I picked her up (with the help of dear sweet Donna Callahan since my car was blocked in) towards the end of the party and she was excited to get to go to the party. However, her patience ran out and she was so ready to go before I had a chance to help much cleaning up.
Today, after school Courtney and I went to get our oil changed and do some window shopping at Target. Courtney pointed out all the things she wanted on a list for Christmas. Although the list is a little long, I was impressed that she seemed to think through what she wanted on the list and didn't just say she wanted everything.
On our way home, Courtney was so cute. She rolled down her window and yelled out to all the people over and over...."Merry Christmas Everyone." It was really really cute.
