Everything's Normal --

Considering it's Christmas that is. These are days that need to be 48 hours long in order to get everything done. Things are beginning to slow down slightly now since all the packages that needed to be mailed have been mailed and shopping is done except for one gift card. Let's see where do I begin to update since it's been 10 days --

Monday, the 10th, we had an extra choir rehearsal in preparation for the choir concert which was presented at both morning services the 16th. We also had our normal rehearsal on Wednesday. Aunti Vi didn't want to go shopping in the afternoon, so we picked up a gallon of milk for her and went down and visited her for a little while. Thursday evening was the church advisory board meeting. Normally, I wouldn't have to attend, but our church clerk resigned in November and since I am the assistant church clerk, I needed to be there to take the minutes. The meeting lasted a little over 2 hours - UGH!!! Friday, Eric and Sarah came over for dinner. They were both exhausted, so all we did was eat dinner and watch "Ratatouille." Sarah fell asleep midway through the movie and slept until they left about 11:00 PM. Saturday, Dan and I went and saw the movie "Enchanted" which is absolutely darling. In between all of this, we were decorating the house, doing some baking and taking care of normal household chores. I also needed to get the minutes done from the advisory board meeting as well as the church clerk's annual report which will be presented at the annual meeting January 13th.

Sunday morning we met Connie and Jesse and Sarah and Eric at Cracker Barrel for breakfast at 7:00 AM. We all wanted to eat a good breakfast so we wouldn't be totally starved by the time second service started (all of us except Jesse sing in the choir). With the choir presenting its concert at both services, it meant we wouldn't have a chance to eat again until at least 12:30. We came home from church and slept until 5:00 PM!

Well that catches up to Monday of this week. More later.
