Then, yesterday we headed downtown. We stopped by the hospital where I will deliver so the kids could see it. (It's called St. Mary's! Which Mary, of course, thinks is super special.) Then we got dinner on State Street and drove over to Olin Park for the Christmas light display.

Then we came home in plenty of time to read a stack of Christmas books and put the kids to bed early.
This afternoon we had a wonderful surprise from Cousin Deserae. She and Baby Elim appeared bearing gifts--huge art sets for David and Mary! Heavenly!
The kids got right to work! Elim included.
Deserae and Mikhael are very good at spoiling our kids. (We missed Mikhael this afternoon. He was stuck home sick. Bummer.)
Love these kids!

It's been a weekend full of Christmas cheer! I really do love this time of year.
