Saturday was stressful and intense. I had a million things to do (post office, sams club, walmart, fabric store, etc.) John worked all day so I was without a car except for the 2 hours between his work and his work meeting. Finally he came home and we were only a half hour late to the ward party. We were to dress up in biblical attire and Jack desperately wanted to wear his frog costume from Halloween but I was able to talk him into this pillowcase.
I would have taken pictures of John and I except that we somehow ended up looking really scary. We were told that John looked like a homeless terrorist and I looked like a Bethlehem "street walker". (yeah, someone seriously told us that!) I got to wrestle these two all by my self throughout the entire party since John was in the program.
a little side note about my husband: I'm starting to think that there will be times in our married life when people we associate with will think I'm really cool and interesting and talented and think John is a lucky man. Now is not that time. It's the reverse and although I love that people in our little circle think my husband is wonderful (I do too) I think it's starting to give me a complex.

I think the kids' costumes are cute. Did a lot of your ward members dress up too? For dress up events in our ward we get about a 70% costume participation - the best we've ever experienced!
oh - and for what it's worth, I think you are smart, wonderful, funny, talent-laden, stylish, a great mom, and a great cook. John is a lucky man, and I'm a lucky sis-in-law!
The Christmas lights looked fun and I love your new coat brielle! Jack and lottie looked really cute in their biblical costumes, but I'm having a hard time picturing you as a Bethlehem "street walker"; that's really funny though. I think both John and You are talented and wonderful people too, but I bet you're pretty tired. Being on your own with one kid is hard enough but with two well I guess I'll find out soon enough. I always hate it when Sam is just super busy or gone for the weekend and I'm wrestling to keep Tate happy. I bet you're excited for the break :)
Okay, now I have to see pictures of you and John. Also, anyone who knows you and reads your blog knows that you are seriously talented. I can't believe that you are able to do all of the cute crafts, food, and activities that you do with an infant and toddler!
I know the feeling of having "a complex." I always thought I was a pretty good cook, especially coming from a mom who kind of wasn't, until I married a chef. My skills have improved, but most people are surprised when I tell them I made something, and I find myself feeling surprisingly offended. Oh well, the pros of having a chef in the fam far outweigh the cons. :)
I would've never thought a pillowcase could be a nativity costume, but it is perfect! Great job! Those Christmas lights look like fun...we keep on doing fun things, but I am terrible with taking pics and worse with putting them on the blog...maybe that'll be my New Years Resolution!
