The HappeningsPosted by Britt on December 15th, 2009
Where to start, where to start. How about on a good note….Sometime this week or next week we will be welcoming Baby Boy Mettert to the world. Anne will be a big sister! I think I am more excited then Joel for his arrival! I can’t wait! Continuing with Anne, she is almost walking and can say Hi and Bye and she can also tell you that Santa says “Ho Ho Ho!”
As you can tell (no post in a few weeks) we have been very busy. I don’t think we’ve slowed down since October. Our Christmas Tree is up with presents underneath waiting to be opened; and our stockings are hung by the chimney with care…including one for Kitty (: The cat has done lots better than I thought she would with the tree. The first day it was up she knocked off an ornament and kicked it around the living room, but since then she hasn’t touched it. Joel is busy with work and Ast. Coaching 8th Grade Basketball as well as Ast. Coaching Track at Huntington University. Track will keep him busy until April or May! I am still subbing as well as tutoring and working at the photography studio! I am also the Children’s Ministry Coordinator at the church we go to. I started at the beginning of December. I see to it that there is someone teaching Sunday School every week, as well as completing the lesson plans for each month. Now that I am working more, I enjoy those days off. Unlike last year when I had the days off and longed for work days.
Saturday we went to my work Christmas Party for the Photography Studio. We had a great time! There were lots of prizes to be won, good food, and good company. We won a gift card to Outback, and I was given a Colts Sweat Shirt and a Colts T-shirt for being an employee. All the employees had to fill out a list of what we would like to see under our Christmas Tree, and from that list the owner/my boss and his wife picked out presents for each of us. It was verrry nice of them! We played Bingho-ho-ho to win prizes and they had hidden $10 gift cards to Applebees around the house and the employees had to find them. In each room were 2 gift cards and we were in groups of three. I didn’t find one fast enough, but it was fun to watch others search for theirs.
This weekend we get to relax at home. Jon and Cadie (Kristina) are coming over on Saturday and Cadie and I are going to make cookies and a gingerbread house while Jon and Joel hang out and eat our cookies! Should be a good time!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
