We had a visit from our friend Susan this weekend and it was fantastic. Josh loves her and talks about her all the time. Katie...well, Katie is going through the I'm-14-months-old-and-only-want-my-mom phase of life, but she certainly warmed up to Susan quickly.
Friday night was the Branch Christmas Party, which included the Christmas Program. Josh was talking about how he was going to be a sheep for weeks. I was getting quite excited, as he did very well in the 2 practices they had. Friday arrived and we finished dinner at the party and the primary kids were all called to put on their costumes. The stage was set and the kids were paraded into the room to await their turn on stage...and Josh was not wearing a costume!!! I didn't understand until I noticed he wasn't very interested in participating. Oh well...maybe next year. 
We did, however, manage to get his "sheep-hat" onto Katie.
Saturday was a full day of standard Saturday duties (such as grocery shopping and picking up dog food) as well as heading out to Target (just because) and ending with checking out the Christmas lights at Opryland Resort. They have 3 huge indoor gardens within the hotel which they dress for Christmas every year. It's fun, crowded and we were quite excited to take Josh this year. Miguel stayed home with Katie while Susan, Josh and I headed out. Josh stayed in the stroller the entire time (an amazing feat). He "ooh-ed" and "ahh-ed" and seemed to really enjoy himself. His favorite thing about the Christmas season seems to be the "Christmas Yights."
The weekend ended with my speaking in church (oh the horrors!!!), and a relaxed evening making Banana-Blueberry bread and enjoying the company of Susan. Somehow I even managed to work in a nap after church! It was a busy, enjoyable weekend and we can't wait for her to return.

It does sound like a great weekend. Don't we love when friends come to visit? Glad you were able to get out and see some lights. Kids and Christmas are the best.
