What a busy week, as always. This week I spent much of my free time early in the week preparing for a cultural night I was in charge of that we were having at our church on Thursday night. We had presentations from 6 different people that were either from a foreign country or lived there for a period of time. They talked about the culture, traditions, food, etc. We learned about Brazil, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, India, Spain, and Samoa. It was such a great night!
This weekend, the weather has been really crummy, with lots of rain and high winds at time. For the most part we have chosen to stay inside. We started the weekend with our traditional family movie night, but this week it was Christmas edition and we let the kids open their Christmas pjs. Merrick was supposed to have a matching shirt with the girls, but we discovered when opening them, that they sent us the wrong thing for him. We made due for the night and I took him to the store the next day to replace it, but unfortunately they were out. He ended up with a shirt he likes better, so while he won't match the girls, he was happy.
Also this weekend, I took the girls to get gingerbread craft kits from Home Depot. We brought them home so Merrick could build one too and they had a good time putting them together. Merrick enjoyed the hammering part but tapped out at the decorating. The girls, on the other hand, were all in for the decorating.
We still have a number of things on our Christmas Bucket List, but we will have to put a pin in that for a bit as this week (Friday) is Merrick's surgery. I will be back next week with an update on that and in the meantime, we welcome all prayers and positive thoughts.
