December Daily 2012: 8-10
Saturday, December 8th: Pancakes for breakfast again -Tyson's favorite. We ran errands to the post office (needed stamps) and to the French Bakery (Boulangerie) for some yummies. Tyson and Dusty went to play at the park when Jack napped. I wrapped a pile of presents. Later we treated ourselves to Cafe Rio salads/ salmon tacos. Jack is still sick with fever/congestion. Evening time we watched The Santa Clause.
Sunday, December 9th: Jack stayed home with Auntie Joie while I went to Sacrament meeting to play for a musical number. Dusty was at church from 7-2. I watched the 1987 Julie Andrews Christmas Special with Joie. We had choir practice and then went on a little drive because Jack insisted on my putting on his socks and shoes and "go"-ing. Tyson spent a good portion of the afternoon decorating with Joie. Later, the sisters arrived. We chatted and then left the boys with Joie while we attended The Messiah, which was wonderful.
Monday, December 10th: Jack is much better today. Back to school for Tys. Our wrapped-book-pile is dwindling. As of today, I am all finished with my Christmas gift list! Dusty popped home for lunch and worked on spelling the names of the states with Tyson. (he was pretty good at it too) Tyson played with our Fisher-Price Nativity set. We sang Christmas Primary Songs for FHE. We put the boys to bed early, but Jack talked/sang in his crib for at least an hour before succumbing to sleep. There seems to be an inappropriate amount of Wassail drinking going on around here.

December Daily 2012: 1-7
Saturday Dec 1st: We had pancakes and cleaned the house. Dusty went to a funeral and we watched a movie. Later in the day we went to the Creche Festival and topped off the night watching Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers. We also started Elf on the Shelf again; named "Nativity" but nicknamed "Nate" for short.
Sunday December 2nd: Dusty off early to meetings. Church from 9-12. I accompanied some musical numbers in Relief Society. Lunch then naps. Choir practice, both Dusty and I went. I had previously wrapped Christmas books to be opened each day of December- some were new and some from earlier years. We read the second book today. A Sunday drive around the city, full of Christmas lights. More Lord of the Rings after the kids were in bed.
Monday December 3rd: School for Tyson and lots of laundry done by me. Practiced a song with a friend to sing/play next Sunday. Did a good amount of Christmas music playing on the piano today and made these collages of some of my favorite Christmas piano books. Gave Tyson a piano lesson. Sue brought some turkey breasts by for me to bake for the party this week. FHE reading the Friend.
Tuesday December 4th: Went to the grocery store with Jack after getting Tyson to school. Lots of photo-editing and uploading happening today. Also watched Holiday Inn with Tyson while Jack was napping. Taught three piano lessons and made chililicious. Tyson could not stop playing the piano today--almost to the point of getting in trouble for not doing other things he was asked to do. :)
Wednesday December 5th: A lovely ordinary day today. Lots of tidying and book reading. Baked some Turkeys most of the afternoon. Picked up Tyson from early-out school. Sorted out Christmas presents in the craft room and Tyson played with Legos. Went to our Ward party. Tyson was a shepherd in the Nativity and we all sang Silent Night together.
Thursday December 6th: Jack woke up with chest congestion and a runny nose. Yea. Tyson took his book Olive, the Other Reindeer to school for a book report. Later we watched the Polar Express and drank hot chocolate. Tyson told me "I am going to keep my listening ears on when I'm sleeping so I can get on the Polar Express when in comes." I wrote and stuffed Christmas cards. Jack continued to get sicker throughout the day. 102 fever by night-time.
Friday December 7th: Jack still very sick. Very high fever, but his breathing still sounding relatively normal (for him). We received emails from Santa in the North Pole. Both boys enjoyed watching their video. Tyson is on the good list and was reminded to always help with his chores when asked. Jack is on the good/watch list and needs to remember to eat his vegetables. :) Tonight we had Kiki tend while we went to a couples' party. We laughed and laughed and said goodbye to some good friends who are moving. Jack slept well for her here at home.
