We take those not-so-great experiences and try and figure out what God is teaching us through them, and sometimes we just have to trust God has got it figured out, even when we can't figure out what on earth the purpose of something is. That being said....
God blessed us with a super fun family day on Thursday. Jon had the day off so we enjoyed spending the day together and doing some fun Christmas-y activities with Addy.
We started out running our errands, and then after nap we took a trip to Starbucks. Addy loves her hot chocolate, Jon had his Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate and I enjoyed my... um... water.
Once Addy finished she walked around pointing to all the "no-mans" on all the Winter decor. There are snowmen everywhere I tell ya! She also danced around in circles.
We then went to Locomotive Park to see the lights. We got there around 4:15 so we had to wait for the lights to come on at 4:30. It was so awesome!! Addy was mesmerized by the lights and music. She would walk over to all the characters/objects and call them by name. She was super excited. It was so fun to see her experience it all and enjoy it. She LOVED the dancing penguins.
Then we went home had dinner and got started on our Gingerbread house. We quickly learned that Addy is not ready for making a gingerbread house. She basically just wanted to eat the entire thing. So as the photo may show Addy putting candy ON the house. She is actually trying desperately to remove it.
It was a super fun day.
Friday we did some work around the house. I had a dentist appointment. Then we had our church annual meeting, which is more like a celebration really. After that I went over to my friend Julia's and we had some girl time. It was refreshing and encouraging. So thankful for her and our friendship.
Next week will be insane with all we have planned, but I look forward to it!!
