Dec. 15th- Wednesday: Anna and McKenna slept in a little till 7:30 and then got ready to go to their doctor check ups. On our way we got stopped in some bad traffic and missed the appointment, but were able to reschedule for the next day. Dan had the Airman from Hill Air Force Base help deliver gifts to Foster families! My mom and Jonathan left our house around 10:15. I went to my voice lesson with Alice. I helped Bethany with piano, and Anna with her book report once they got home. I started making tomato soup for dinner and almost forgot to pick up Alice and Kaysen from preschool. Anna had gymnastics. I attended Let’s Play Music with Bethany. We read Christmas books after dinner and baths. McKenna had rehearsal where someone fainted but was thankfully ok!
Dec. 16th- Thursday: We had a normal morning, then I picked up McKenna and Anna for their rescheduled doctor check ups. They are both healthy and we were given a referral to visit an ENT for Anna to see why she snores at night. I dropped Alice off at Dan‘s office, then took the other girls back to school. I ran home for a quick lunch, then I went to Bethany‘s class to help with their Three World Religion culminating activity. We helped the kids make a Star of David ornament craft. After we got home, I started sorting the kids' school papers. Bethany went to a make-up dance class. We ate leftovers for dinner and then I took Ben to his show. I worked on a grocery order in the car until his performance. After we got home, I helped braid McKenna’s hair for crimps the next day. Dan left to go to the new Spiderman movie with some of the brothers.
Dec. 17th- Friday: After the kids left for school, I walked on the treadmill and had a normal morning. Dan gave himself a haircut, then he took Alice to lunch with him and Jasper. I went to Ben’s class to help with his class party. We played a candy cane drop game and a stacking cup games. I stopped by Walgreens and unfortunately waited a long time for my medicine that wasn't even ready. I went through the kids' school papers. I snuggled Alice who said her tummy hurt. She went down stairs to watch a show and then threw up in her lap (thankfully not on the couch!). It was easy clean-up, but still sad. I finished going through papers. Dan worked on some stuff at Gma and Gpa’s house. I got Ben ready to go to his show. After dinner, me, McKenna, Anna, and Megan Hunter went to Tabernacle Choir Concert while Dan stayed home with sick Alice! :(
Dec. 18th- Saturday: We had Breakfast with Santa! Dan’s parents got home that morning from their 18 month mission to Hawaii and met us there! This breakfast is always so fun! The kids make an ornament, decorate a cookie, get their face painted, there's delicious food, the magician, as well as characters like Santa, Anna and Elsa from Frozen, the Coke bear, and the Grinch. The kids also LOVE that all their cousins are there. And all of it benefited Utah Foster Care! After we left, we stopped by my parents' house. We got the recap of my dad's heart operation and hung out for a bit. The kids played Mario Kart. When we got home, we delivered our Christmas neighbor gifts (hot pads) then we went to the Nelson Family Party at the Miles’. We had to leave a little early to get Ben to his call time. I stayed to watch the show. Dan picked up groceries then went home to do baths for the girls. Grandma and Grandpa Webster, Mickelle, Sam and 2 girls, and Adam and Mia all came to the show. After kids were in bed, we prepped to host and cleaned and decluttered.
Dec. 19th- Sunday: Grandma and Grandpa Webster spoke about their mission! We hosted a brunch at our house afterwards! After clean up, we watched Relative Race. We had our Christmas Zoom call with Grandfather and Wendy and the Nelson family. That night, we had an appetizer dinner at Dave and Laurie’s. We celebrated December BDs and made gingerbread houses as well.
Dec. 20th- Monday: This was the first day of our Christmas break, and we were up at 4 and 7:45am because Alice threw up again. :( The rest of the morning was normal, and Dan played ping pong with the kids. Dan took McKenna to rehearsal and then he went to lunch with Jasper. I exercised, worked on laundry, and prepped some pomegranates. The kids had computer time. After lunch, Dan brought McKenna home. Bethany went to Arlee’s to play. Anna had a runny nose. Ben went to Henry’s to play. I showered and Alice watched shows. Dan did a podcast interview, then he and I left at 5 for a Webster adult only Top Golf date night. I did horribly, the food was so yummy, and we had fun! McKenna babysat for us, and Ben went to watch the other cast of Frozen perform. After kids were in bed, we wrapped some presents.
Dec. 21st- Tuesday: We woke up to Alice having a diarrhea accident. I tried to get back to sleep (till 8:30). After breakfast, Dan took the three older girls to work with him. Ben went to Nate’s. I swept out the garage, then got a car wash and worked on Dan’s Christmas presents. Sibber stopped by to use printer. I made our German pancakes while Alice watched a show. Dan and the girls got home at 2. We left at 3:30 to hang out in Layton with my parents and Jonathan. Dan left with McKenna for the YM/YW gift basket delivery activity and Ben for his final show call time. I stayed at my parents’ until 7pm. My mom, dad, and Jonathan were able to go to Ben's show.
