Today was a CRAZY busy day. Here's the breakdown:
- 8am-9:15am clean the church building
- 9:30am Benjamin report in cub scout uniform for Christmas Parade
- 10am-11:30am Christmas Parade
- 1pm-3pm Cub Scout push cart races
- 3pm-4pm Bake dessert for upcoming Ward Christmas Party
- 2pm-4pm Extend Youth Planning Meeting
- 4pm-5:30pm Birthday Party (for Benjamin to attend)
- 6pm-8pm Ward Christmas Party
That was our day today. It's done and boy am I glad!! Now onto Sunday, which will not be any less crazy, but at least it will have some time where I sit down!
Here's the float that Bud rode on through the parade. If you look closely you can see part of his head :)
Here are some of the best shots from the Cub Scout Push Cart races. Bud had a great time!
Look closely and you can see the hammer in midair! Yes, they were letting 8 year old boys throw hammers!!
December is a crazy month and I know as our children get older it will just get more crazy. This next weekend we plan on going down to LA to the temple, enjoying the lights, temple work and family time. I just need to continue to remind myself that the hustle and bustle of the month cannot be overshadowed by the reason we celebrate at this time of the year.
Elder Uchtdorf said in this months Ensign:
The Christmas season is wonderful in many ways. It is a season of charitable acts of kindness and brotherly love. It is a season of being more reflective about our own lives and about the many blessings that are ours. It is a season of forgiving and being forgiven. It is a season to enjoy the music and lights, parties and presents. But the glitter of the season should never dim our sight and prevent us from truly seeing the Prince of Peace in His majesty.

Looks like fun! Although I was hoping for a picture of my favorite parade entry...the belly dancers! :)
That's a crazy busy day! We skipped the parade but if W. knew about the belly dancers we might have gone ;).
Glad you survived, love the pictures!
That sounds like a great weekend to me. And I hope you enjoy LA next weekend!
