On the 3rd our activity was to make a card for a soldier. Since my cousin is currently stationed in Afghanistan, we decided to send it to him.  We hope he gets it in time for Christmas and that it brightens his day a little!

On the 4th we watched a Christmas movie with the Whites who had brought us a delicious dinner. Connor and Presley watched Babes in Toyland on Netflix.

On the 5th, Connor got to color his Christmas coloring book that Santa gave him when we went to visit him at the North Pole aka Bass Pro.

On the 6th we did family lunch with daddy. We decided to try Fat Guys Burgers.  Connor kept asking me what the fat guy's name was. He could not figure out that it was the name of the restaurant.  Opinion on it - the burgers tasted just like Braum's to me but they cost a whole lot more! However, the fries were amazingly delicious and they had some pretty good root beer, too!

Today Connor opened up the advent and pretended to read it.  He told his dad that it said Nina was coming to visit tonight!  Joe ended up telling him that she was not coming but that we were going to a surprise place to do some fun stuff and that there would be apple juice.  Connor guessed that we were going to the soccer field.  Not sure why he thought that, but he will find out that we are going to load up in the car after dinner and drive around to look at Christmas lights.  We will have drinks, Christmas music, and popcorn!  We haven't decided yet if we are going to drive to the Castle in Muskogee or if we are going to just drive around and look at lights in Tulsa.

Also today is John's 2 week check up.  We shall see if he has gained any weight back.  We are also doing family pictures today - I'm very excited!
