We had a great week! Allie passed her driving test and after practicing parallel parking for an hour last week was proud to say she did it perfectly. Straight backing however is not her strong suit. She is counting down to Friday when she can go and officially get her license! We left home Thursday night to spend the weekend with Courtney and her family at an Airbnb in Provo. It was as fun as we had hoped! The weather was perfect, the game was a blast and our kids picked up where they left off. Courtney and I love that they are such easy friends and secretly plot to arrange at least one marriage between the 8 of them!
Cami left early to go to Sadies. She asked a boy from Mt. Crest that she didn't know beforehand and they had a great time together. The theme was famous couples. They were a great Padme and Anakin. Tommy got his hair permed last weekend. The girls have been begging him to grow it out and perm it for a few years now. He is finally on board and we love it! I should've prepared him for all a perm entailed because sitting in a salon chair with pink and purple rollers in his hair for 2 hours was not what he expected.
Vivian began her solo dance this week. It's going to be fast paced and fun! Hopefully she can keep up and learn it all in time. We are a little slower getting things going this year. I had a quiet work week and tried to catch up on other things but mostly enjoyed a slower paced week. We hung our Christmas lights. I love them every year! Isaac surprised me with them while I was gone at my mom's one Thanksgiving and it's the gift that keeps on giving because every time we hang them up I remember his considerate gift and feel grateful all over again.
I love having all of my kids home. I'm genuinely nervous for Cami to move out. She is so fun for me to talk to. I find myself walking into her room and sitting on her bed nearly every night just to visit and soak in every last minute with her under my roof. Time is a thief!
