My sister started sending out weekly family letters updating us on their lives. I decided to follow suit and post it to my blog. It might bore everyone but it's a quick and easy way to keep track of stuff. Here goes nothing...
Last Monday, Lyla had her 2 month check-up at the doctor's office. She weighed in at 10 lb 6 oz (37th percentile). She was not a happy girl after receiving a few shots. Poor thing. Tyler was able to meet us there and then we got lunch at Chick-Fil-A. That is seriously one of my favorite places to eat. I'd eat there at least once a week if one was close. That night we delivered gifts to the neighbors and then, per Ada's request, drank hot chocolate around the Christmas tree. I tried talked about the nativity story, but it didn't go so well as the girls couldn't sit still and then Kate spilled her drink o the floor. Oh well.
On Tuesday, Ada had her Christmas performance at her ballet class. Mom and Dad were able to come as well as Tyler's mom, as well as, of course, Tyler, myself, Kate, and Lyla. It was cute to watch. Ada is about the tallest as well as most flexible girl in her class. We got sundaes from McDonald's afterward and that night I got to take a break from the children and go to a Relief Society activity. The Woods Cross High madrigals sang and we enjoyed a hot chocolate bar afterward. I just ate the candy.
On Wednesday I got to go to Kate's preschool and spotlight her in front of the class. I read them 'Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog' (one of her favorite books) and handed out M&M's, her favorite candy.
I don't really remember Thursday. I think Tyler was gone that night making visits.
Friday night we got to attend Tyler's work Christmas party. We dropped all three girls off at Mom and Dad's and went to La Caille. It was fun to see Tyler's co-workers and their spouses. The food was pretty good. We were probably the first ones to leave since we had to get back to feed the baby. It was fun to get away for a bit.
I watched the Cougs lose a close one on Saturday and that night we went to a Christmas party for Tyler's dad's side of the family. Tyler's mom made big plans for us to do a flash mob performance of The First Noel. She was really serious about it and told us it would be our Christmas present to her (we did get her something else). During dinner, we all stood up and sang a'cappella and then sat down as if nothing happened. After the party and putting the kids to bed, Tyler and I watched 'The Help' since we both recently finished the book. It had been a while since we'd seen a movie!
Sunday was our ward Christmas program. Tyler sang with the ward choir and Ada got to sing two songs with the Primary. Kate was sad that she didn't get to go up, but she will be a Sunbeam in January so that won't be a problem anymore. She'll be jumping right in on the 1st: she was already asked to give the opening prayer (and Ada was asked to give the scripture). It will be fun to be in there to watch on her very first day of Primary.
Other things of note: we found out that Tyler passed his PE exam, which is a very big deal and a huge relief. I am so proud of him! We also paid off our student loans. Overall, it was a pretty good week!

I loved the update. Sounds like a great week!
I'm glad Kate is excited to give the prayer! I just put all the sunbeams down for prayers the first few months and realized afterwards that maybe some might need a few weeks to warm up... haha. Oh well! Your girls are so cute!
Peace on Earth, can it be? Years from now...
Oh sorry, I got distracted. I love the idea of a weekly letter. Good update!
