So today's advent calendar slip was chosen by Catcher. He picked out "A Specialty Hot Chocolate". So we made them one after dinner with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It was sooo good. I'm getting ahead of myself though. So the book club party last night was such a blast. There were quite a few people that showed up. Usually we have a group of 5 that show up for book club (which is nice), but last night we had about 10 or so. I brought some of the blankets I had been working on tying to tie them there. It was so relaxing, I swear I should take up knitting, I would probably love it. The blankets are supposed to be for teens in the homeless shelters (it's a relief society project). We got to hear some nice short christmas stories and a couple of the ladies sang "Oh Holy Night" sooooo beautifully!! There was tons of great food, and it was fun just chatting.

I spent the morning today cleaning around the house and talking to some guy the Brick sent out to check on our couches ( we were trying to deal with our warranty) . Grant came home early from work because it just wasn't busy at all today. Grant went in to the school to see Catcher's teacher for the parent teacher interviews. It was so nice to hear such good things about him. Catcher is pretty goofy and silly at home. He loves to be the funny one. The teacher said that he isn't like that at school at all. She said he is well mannered, well behaved, focused and likes to take his time to do his work nicely and properly. She said he is very popular in his class, and that everyone notices when Catcher is missing. She said they will point out "Catcher's not here today" but they don't do that for other kids who are not there. So that was nice to hear, that he is doing well and is well received by his classmates and teacher. Tonight was our wards Relief Society Christmas Party. I brought Kaitlyn and McKenna to help do the babysitting for anyone who had kids. They LOVED doing that. It was a nice evening with a good turnout and lots of good food (always important to have good company and good food, haha). I got home around 11:30pm after all of the clean up.
