Shelly and I have started a new tradition for our birthdays that we spend time together instead of just giving gifts to each other. November got to be a bit busy for both of us, so we were finally able to find an afternoon to go shopping in December! :) I always LOVE this time together, and appreciate it even more now as we have kids and life gets so busy! We had lunch at Ham's Sandwich Shop and did some shopping at the mall! Happy Birthday, Shelly! I love your friendship so much and am so thankful for you in my life!
While we were shopping I got a call from Nora's school--she was running a temp. :( Luke and I had plans to go to a play that night and my parents came up to watch the kids. Nora had a fever and cough so we decided to skip the play and my parents went up to Shelly's house for the night so they wouldn't catch the bug Nora had. Nora had croup (got steroids for it on Thursday) and while her cough seemed better during the night she came down with a high fever. Poor girl was miserable when the tylenol and advil wore off!
Luke and I also had plans with friends on Saturday night (wine tasting), but that was cancelled by the other couple as they had a sick daughter too! We wanted to focus on getting and staying healthy before Christmas so we hunkered down and enjoyed a weekend at home together instead!
The kids were scheduled to sing in church on Sunday and Nora appeared to be feeling well enough to do that. She didn't "enjoy" it, but I don't think that was because she wasn't feeling well! ;) Most of the 3 year olds looked a bit perplexed standing in the front of church.....but Bishop got into it and was singing along! It was fun that they both could be in front of church together....their last opportunity for that is in the spring and after this Bishop won't sing in church (unless he's signed up for choir).
After church Nora said she wanted to go to Macy's Santaland--see the Elves display and visit Santa. We did that, grabbed some lunch at Panera and then went home to rest and relax!

Although our plans changed for the weekend it turned out to be a nice, quiet weekend at home....we were able to all slow down for a couple of days before the rush of Christmas comes again! Nora's fever finally broke Sunday night and she was well enough to go back to school on Monday. Makes me even more thankful for healthy kids--it's so hard seeing them sick!! On to the last week before Christmas break!!
