Sunday Snapshots: Memorable Moments from the Week

 


It’s Christmas Sunday!! We are excited for this day and hope you enjoy yours if you’re attending special Christmas services today! I brought a sampling from our week for you…can’t believe I only have one more of these for 2025!

Last Sunday was the kids’ program at church. Is there anything better than preschoolers recreating the Nativity?? Priceless. We also went to support the church kiddos that are part of our Bible quizzing team, and that was so much fun. They did a great job!

It was soooooooooooooooo cold here at the beginning of the week, and we tried a new-to-us soup recipe. It was a clear winner, and that just made the whole week start on a cozy, wonderful note.

We watched Christmas Vacation this week…all snuggled up under blankets with the trees on. I have so appreciated the chance to be home a little more this week. I needed some rest!

As I shared with you a couple of days ago, we also had a fun cookie decorating night. That little kit we bought was worth it. All the hard work done for us, and all the fun of a quick decorating adventure together. I would absolutely buy one of those again.

We spent an evening this week at the wrestling match Ryan announced. I don’t mind saying again how proud I am of all his hard work in preparing and bringing energy and enthusiasm to the night!

I worked from home Friday – and someone was hoping I’d do a little less working and a little more playing frisbee. She was kind of disappointed, I think. Listening to sermon prep wasn’t quite the same in her world.

Yesterday did not turn out as we planned, but despite the detours, we had a good day. We bought Lexi’s Christmas gifts, and we decided, among other things, to get her a new mini-bed for our kitchen. The one she has now was her original actual bed when she was a puppy. She outgrew it, so we got her a new one, but she kept sitting on her original one in my office. When we moved here to the lake, we put it in the kitchen so she could sleep next to me while I work. It looks so bedraggled now, so we got her a new one…and she refused to sit on it. We finally covered it with a blanket she sits on often, and that worked!
