Saturday we started out the morning with incredible weather- nearly 80 degrees at 8am! The girls and Greg spent the morning raking leaves and jumping in the piles and making leaf angels. This is a tradition we have been looking forward to continuing this year and we finally had enough leaves and dry weather to enjoy it!

After Greg sneaked a nap in he took Emory to the North Texas Basketball game, leaving Trinity, Addison and me home to enjoy each others company. Trinity discovered her love of jewelery making and spent the entire day making Christmas bracelets and necklaces for various family members and friends.
Emory soliciting the assistance of her Daddy in jewelery making, notice he is already wearing one Trinity made on his wrist. Seriously Greg, what's up with the hat? Can we blame it on you being sick that you're still wearing a hat you got when Tom Landry was coach?
While we were home alone Trinity developed an incredible urge to take care of Addison. She couldn't let her stay in her room by herself to take a nap out of fear she might need something, this resulted in not much napping for Addison, but some great bonding time for she and Trinity. Trinity sure does love her baby sister and Addison sure does adore her big sister! At one point I could hear Trinity calling my name but I couldn't find her. I looked in Addison's room and Addison was standing in her crib, staring at her dirty clothes hamper, trying to reach it, then I realized Trinity was hiding in it!
This is how I found the girls
It really is Trinity in there!
Addison was so excited to play with Trinity! I think Addison looks just like my sister and mom in this picture, like Emory did too!
Saturday evening Greg's mom and his sister and her family came over for dinner and to visit. Our entertainment for the evening (other than playing with the kids) was old videos of Greg's musical and show choir days in middle school! The girls were a little confused on how THAT could be their Daddy!
Sunday Greg was still sick and so was Addison, so Trinity, Emory and I braved the White Rock Marathon traffic to get to church (I was teaching Sunday School) and what a mess that turned out to be! After an hour of trying different routes (it's normally 10 minutes tops) and dodging all of the pedestrians walking down the MIDDLE of the road we finally made it there! I have no earthly idea how we got there, I got lost more than once on different residential streets in the neighborhood, but all that matters is we made it!
Sunday evening was Trinity's annual Christmas Program at school, so we had an early dinner with my parents, then headed to school to enjoy the service! Trinity did a fantastic job! Their class was a part of every single bit of the program. They had worked so hard to memorize all their songs and verses, we were all so proud! Trinity looked beautiful in her new Christmas dress and her hair curled, but the look of pride on her face when she noticed all six of her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousin were there to see her was priceless! She is such an amazing little girl and loved by so many people! I had a mom stop me today in Target and tell me how she and another mom were talking during the program about how beautiful Trinity looked:) Sorry bout all the proud mama stuff, but I just can't help myself!

Greg is still sick today and he finally went to the doctor to get some medicine. Addison is feeling better and the other two seem to be just fine. I can't wait for his medicine to kick in and he starts feeling better!
