FHE

My sister and her husband came up to visit us this weekend. We decided to surprise Ellie. They came before Ellie had got home from church, so when she got home I sent her up to room to change and had Amy and Mo were hiding in her room. She was very very surprised, and excited. She and James had a grand time playing with them. Later that evening Barry and I went to the Stake Christmas program. It was weird going without kids, it was like we were going on a date.
Barry did a good job as Joseph, he cut out some of his more cheesy lines, and he looked good in his costume that he sewed himself. Mary did look about 18, but Barry said in real life she was probably 12, so I guess it was as accurate as they could get. I thought the choir did a pretty good job too, so all in all it was a success. We came home and had hot chocolate and candy cane cookies and the kids had a blast dancing around to fiddle music.

Monday morning, I went to my Dr. appt. and Amy and Mo watched the kids for me. When I came home they were all busy playing hide and seek, and by all the wrong rules, like running away from your hiding place before the person could find you. James didn't have a clue what was going on, but he loved it all the same. Both Ellie and James cried when it was time for Amy and Mo to return home and will be excited to see them again.

For FHE on Monday we painted some plaster ornaments my mom sent us. The kids really enjoyed it. Now we just need to buy another tree to hang them on.

The doctor says I probably have about two weeks before baby pate makes her appearance. I'm thinking it may be sooner than that, but hopefully we'll get those two weeks in because then the baby would be considered full term.
