December Weekend

We had a great weekend at the Case House. On Friday night, the whole family went to the MOPs babysitting fundraiser at church. I cooked and cleaned up a spaghetti dinner for 30 kids and any adult helpers who were brave enough to eat it. Tim was the ONLY husband who helped out directly by being there. It was a good thing he was there, because our neighbor, 20 month old Quin, was only happy when he was held by Tim. What a good guy! Saturday, the boys braved the slush to build a snowman. That night we enjoyed "Christmas in Loveland." We rode a horse drawn carriage through Loveland, visited the historical society train exhibit, made crafts in a log cabin, saw the Loveland Art Studio, experienced kettle corn (some of us for the first time), AND saw Santa. And we were only rained on by an icey slush for about 1/4 of the time. Loveland was beautiful with many lights and luminaries. This morning, Zachary and Jeremy sang in the church choir for the very first time. Zachary, who had not even wanted to go to practice in the beginning, was awesome. So great that I was completely overwhelmed. Embarrasingly, you can hear me crying in the video. I'M SO PROUD OF HIM. So proud that I'm choosing to ignore how Jeremy made faces and acted silly most of the time. (Jeremy is second from the left in the front rown. Zachary is just behind him to the right in the second row.)
