Sick Sunday

So here's what a Sunday is like in our house when the kids are sick.
8:30- Wake up and realize Doug has PEC in 1/2 hour.
9:00-Doug barely makes it to PEC and comes home around 10:30
11:00-Joanna goes to choir and comes home at 12:00
12:00-Doug passes Joanna on sidewalk at heads to pres. meeting and stays at church for sacrament meeting at 12:30
1:35-Joanna high-fives Doug while passing Doug on sidewalk and heads to teach primary.
2:45-Doug and Joanna high-five again while passing so that Doug can get back to church to teach Young Men
3:30-Doug and Joanna high-five for a thrid time while passing so that Joanna can get back to the church for a meeting with Primary Presidency at 3:45 (it was originally scheduled for 12:00 but she completely spaced it and Doug was already at the church at that time).
4:00-Doug and Joanna high-five for the fourth and final time as he heads out the door for a temple recommend interview.
4:30-Joanna waits for Doug to get home so that they can eat dinner (love fast Sundays!), bathe kids, watch the Christmas Devotional, put kids to bed, go to Stake Choir, come home and go to bed (and maybe talk to each other for more than 5 minutes today)!

Whew what a day of rest!

Anyway, here's some pictures from the day after Lilly's birthday:

Here's her and Sophia by the fun IKEA igloo/tent!

Last night was crazy as well. We had a family party in Cedar Hills and our ward party at the exact same time. Doug had to be at our ward party and so I took the girls to the family party. Here's a fun chocolate peppermint pie I took as well. The chocolate Christmas trees were fun to make.
Since I couldn't go to the ward party I had Doug take pictures. It was intense and looked like a lot of fun. The theme was "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" and they themed the whole thing around Nauvoo in 1843. Each auxillary was in charge of a different "part" of Nauvoo. Doug and the YM were in charge of the stick pull and he said it was a lot of fun. This was The Mansion House where they served stew, rolls, and gingerbread cake. Notice the real pine garlands running down the tables.
This was the masonry shop complete with a "fire" behind that big gray thing. It looked cool when the lights were off. They had these tiles with vinyl letter sayings that said "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" that people could make. They were cool.

This was the sign to the post office where you could write letters to the missionaries.

They had signs like this all over that made a little time-line of events. Doug thinks there were probably about 500 of these signs.

This was the red brick store. They were accepting canned food donations at this station.

They also had a tin shop where kids could make punched tin ornaments, and a fabulous library put on by the Young Women.

Here's a bonus picture of Sophia having a blast in an early Christmas present. Some friends in our ward were getting rid of this and so they gave it to us. They had lost the charger and so it didn't work. I got one at Wal-mart (best $30 I've ever spent) and now it's a great ride. It really goes pretty fast and I'm sure she needs a license for to drive it. Her and her friend Abby had a great time riding it around last week.
