CONGRATS!!!

This past weekend was our busiest so far and with it being Thanksgiving weekend we were expecting it. Saturday we began helping in Anahuac at our church decorating and helping get things ready. In the afternoon we came home so Emma could sleep and so we could finish preparing for kids' club in Vista Hermosa. After kids' club we came home for a short break and then went back to Anahuac to have worship practice. Emma ended up getting a fever that evening after a day of having a runny nose. So it was nice to finally have the girls in bed at 11 that night.

Sunday began with more runny noses, and LeRoy headed to Ebenezer to attend their special Thanksgiving service. Since it was a special Sunday our church moved their service to 3. When LeRoy got back it was time for us to head to Anahuac for a bit more prep and enjoy our service. Then after we enjoyed an amazing meal of Tamales (one of our favorite Mexican foods, but haven't found anywhere to buy them yet). It was great because since it has begun to feel like the Christmas season, after having the first Advent Sunday, it felt like a family gathering. Which we needed, we've been missing home lots.

But it was so nice to come home, and know we could relax all evening. We ended up spending the evening on Skype with some of LeRoy's family after hearing extremely exciting news. LeRoy's brother Joash is now engaged (the first sibling of ours to get married) to Tracey.

CONGRATULATIONS JOASH & TRACEY!!!

We are trying to wait until we hear the set date for the wedding before we start thinking about what we are going to do. Brooklyn was quite confused as to why all of a sudden she now could say Auntie Tracey, so it took a bit of explaining. We'll see at Christmas, when they are all here, if she has caught on.

Today we set up our Christmas tree, I chocolate coated some pretzels, and tonight we're watching a Christmas movie. A perfect day for it since it's just dreary with rain all day. And poor Emma is not feeling great at all. She has slept a lot, we sure hope it won't get much worse. She has a runny nose, congestion, and a gross cough. Thankfully when she sleeps, there is no cough so she gets a break from it. This morning Brooklyn and I were both sneezing and coughing a bit too, hope that doesn't develop into anything.
