Busy Busy

I'm done with school for the semester and there is still no time...

Monday...exercise, Christmas shopping, work, Ashton karate, a quick dinner and then off to his first basketball practice

Tuesday...help in Ashton's class, work, shopping with Janelle to find Sierra a Christmas present, quick dinner, caroling with the youth

Wednesday...running, Christmas shopping, Ashton's karate, dinner, babysit Melanie-took Sierra with me and we cuddled on their couch and watched tv together while Melanie just slept

Thursday...Presidency meeting, Christmas shopping, work, Sierra to Activity Days-they went caroling to the assisted care retirement center-she was having a bad day and didn't want to go but I told her she needed to, that it would make her feel better to serve. When I picked her up she was SO happy, told me that she got to sing Silent Night in German by herself. :) Then we ran home and quickly got supplies needed for Sierra's presentation of learning. Off we went, back to school.

 Her presentation was on the sun. When I first got into the MPR she pulled me outside and needed to talk to me, she was in tears and totally stressed out. She said her group wasn't doing anything, they hadn't from the beginning, she made the model of the sun out of clay...she made the brochure, brought the heater, the lemonade and cups, she even brought the sunglasses for the boy in her group. I told her teacher that Sierra needed help. Her teacher then ended up talking to Sierra and then to her group and they stepped up and helped Sierra present the information, so she wasn't doing everything by herself. Her teacher is amazing, Sierra completely turned around and was herself again. She was happy and did such a great job presenting the information she learned about the sun.

 Jake left early with Ashton and got us dinner so when Si and I got home dinner was waiting for us. YAY, cause we were famished! Made lots and lots of chocolate chip cookies for Ashton's holiday party.
Friday...Holiday Party's! Sierra wore her adorable snowman shirt, Ashton got to wear his jammies,

 I wore my jammies too!

Took kids to school and then went to Megan W's house to help wrap gifts for the YW, their Christmas gifts. Back to school, helped with Ashton's party and ate yummy food! After school we were home for about an hour, listened to a message on the answering machine-Sierra entered an Art contest for the city-she was placed in the top 20 in her age catagory out of 800 entries!! and then off to take Ashton to Ramsey's birthday party. While at the party me and Sierra went shopping.

Tonight we had dinner with my dad and Tori, Sophi, Rich and family at PC's. Yum!

Life is busy!
