Year 2, Week 22: Nativity


Another week has passed, my friends, and we are here to update you on ours! It feels like forever ago that all of this happened, but here we go! It was a good week!

Monday I went grocery shopping, which is what happens on my Mondays off. This Monday I also got to finish my Christmas shopping! I stopped at the orchard too...which will be closing here soon, sadly. Our new Enso rings came in the mail, so we were really excited about that. I got Christmas tree decorating stuff while I was shopping too, so we finally got our tree decorated in the evening, I posted a few pictures of our Christmas decorations for your enjoyment. After Jonathan was done working we went to the chiropractor, stopped at Drugmart, then came home and had stuffed shells before we Christmas-ed our tree. 

Tuesday I worked, so Jonathan worked, cleaned the house and talked to Tim on the phone. It was a great day for both of us! Wednesday I was off, so I got milk, visited my mom at work, then came home and did laundry and a few things around the house. In the evening we went to an auction down the road with Mom and Dad then went back to their house for pizza. When we came home, I made cajun pork chops so we could have some food to eat while I was at work the next day.

Thursday was a pretty normal day. We both worked, Jonathan went to Horizon to get a remote for our car, nothing very life changing to report! But it was my weekend off, so that was exciting. Jonathan worked on Friday while I finished my online CPR training. When he was done, we went to Canton to finish our shopping. We had Olive Garden for dinner, then made our way through Canton stopping at different stores and enjoying our little trip.

Saturday was a pretty relaxing day. We were home for most of the day, so I painted, Jonathan worked out, we caught up on some TV shows and just relaxed for most of the day. In the evening, we had calling hours to go to, then we went home for burritos and to watch some Star Wars. 

Sunday we went to church together, which is always something we look forward to. Grandma and Grandpa were there, which was a super fun surprise! Afterwards we went to Classic for lunch as a family, which was delicious, and kept me from having to make lunch! I did come home and make Chicken Cordon Bleu so that we would have food to eat this week, though. I finished painting when we got home and Jonathan worked on his family tree project. We had a live nativity through the church in the evening, so we were Mary and Joseph for a short period of time! It was a ton of fun. So many people came to see us! We were absolutely blown away to see everyone and were so blessed by the turnout. It was a lot of fun and we hope to do it again next year!

This week is not too bad, we are just wrapping up a few things for Christmas...pun intended. Hopefully we will be seeing more of you all throughout the holidays! It is going to be a whirlwind...so bear with the blogging. 

Love you all!

- Alli and Jonathan

Hello, there! I must say this month will most likely be told in pictures more than words because it has been both a whirlwind and a slow pac...
