Just some highlights of what's been going on in my life. The children have started practicing for their Christmas play and since I go on Wednesday night, I've gotten a little sneak peak. It is going to be great. Shelby's first lines are about drinking milk which is all the child every does so she is really happy with her part. Here she is with a couple of friends run through their lines before actual practice started.
My antifreeze got low in my car and my son-in-law said to bring it by his brother's house because they had extra. Even when you just need some simple like antifreeze, you don't get one Hayes boy, you get two and their two sons. They give new meaning to the phrase "car guy".
I have a good friend who had the most brilliant idea. He has bought his first house and this was his first Christmas so he asked me to help him decorate. We did everything but the tree and then he had a tree trimming party and a bunch of our other friends came over and helped decorate the tree. I made pizza breads for supper and orange punch. Me, him and our friend Abbie baked 120 cookies and Abbie made the most delicious homemade hot chocolate. It was a wonderful evening with friends.
The next day people across several counties were waking up to snow. In mid November. That rarely happens around here this early in the season. It was so beautiful.
I was able to attend one of Colby's ball games. There he is taking a foul shot. He is so good at every sport. I really believe he has a career ahead of him in either baseball, football or basketball. He is amazing.
The other night we had two shows but the second one had available seats. I need to go to my mandatory show for the Christmas season, so instead of working the second show I just went to it with a couple of the other girls from work. I love our regular show but I adore the Christmas one.
One of my favorite parts was when they do O Holy Night. It is so beautiful.
And check out her dress and the horse. Makes for a beautiful photo opp.
But the favorite part of the show I get to see every time I work because I am getting ready to do surveys and that is the nativity scene. The camels are by far my absolute favorite.
Especially when they sit down. It is something to see as they kneel on their back legs then lower their front legs.
We had T.C. as our emcee that night. He was awesome.
Yesterday, I went shopping with a friend and decided to get some ideas for Christmas. I want these slippers. The bottom is full of what I believe to be rice. You can freeze them or heat them and they will help with tired, sore feet.
Well, we are caught up to date now. I am waiting until after Thanksgiving to post all my Christmas pictures. Have a great Thursday.
