December Daily 2012: 11-13

Tuesday, December 11th:  The first thing Tyson did this morning was look for his Elf on the Shelf.  Jack was acting very clingy today--so might not be totally mended from his ailments.  Tyson has been requesting Gingerbread cookies for awhile and today we made it happen.   Lots of piano lessons today and Chicken Taco Soup in the slow cooker.

Wednesday, December 12th:  Early morning, after Tyson is ready for school, he reads and reads.  Jack plays/hangs around.  Jack and I go to the grocery store.  It's early out day for Tyson which means piano lessons for him.  He is almost done with his first set of books!  I got a little scrapbooking done today and made Butternut Squash soup (dairy free, and just as yummy).  In the evening, Tyson and I went Christmas shopping for gifts for Daddy and Jack from him.

Thursday, December 13th:  Tyson wasn't feeling super awesome today and after much debate he stayed home from school.  He got to stay the morning in his bed (not by his choosing), reading or drawing .  We are moving along on our traditional Advent Calender (passed down on my Mom's side).  Overall, it was a relaxing day.  The sisters dropped by in the afternoon and we chatted about blogs and photography.  After dinner, I taught piano, and Dusty and Tyson when Christmas shopping.
