December Twelfth and Thirteenth

Saturday the twelfth was one of those Saturdays where we didn't have anywhere to be in the morning and we could all take it easy. Dusty read his newspapers as usual, I caught up on some reading and Christmas stuff, and Tyson played with his little cars. We made hot cocoa, looked at things on eBay, took photos. Such a pleasant, warm morning.

The afternoon brought a baptism of a little girl in the ward for me, and long naps for Tyson and Dusty. :)

Lauren and Megan arrived to watch Tyson while we went to a dinner party with some friends. It was a murder-mystery party and I got to dress up as an eccentric heiress, and Dusty a shipping Tycoon. Needless to say, we went with lots of jewelry and makeup (on my part).



I took this picture solely on the fact that Tyson loves these snow-boots. He wears them everywhere. He can put them on and stomp around the house. He can put them on to go outside and to run errands. He can put them on the right feet ( the zippers help him distinguish).



Sunday the thirteenth was another snowy day. We left for church in hail/rain/snow, if that makes any sense. Tyson and I came home and read Christmas books. I love to collect these books. Most of them I have found at thrift stores! Go me!

Later that night we went to a Creche (Nativity) festival. People from all over the city had brought their unique nativities and put them on display. Choirs were singing beautiful music, and children were acting out the nativity on a stage. It was so neat!
Afterwards, we visited with friends, had ice cream, and let the kids play.
