• Robby and I were up way too late last night-think 2 at least. I did pop right up when my alarm went off. Well, I didn't pop up and get out of bed, I popped up and grabbed my phone and played until it was time for me to get up. 
• I had my shower and then started waking everyone else up. Reagan was already in the shower upstairs, and the other girls were stirring. Not so for the boys; they were not moving at all. It took a few trips upstairs to make sure that they were all awake. (Again, I am not sure how Anderson makes it to all of his classes!)
• When we pulled into the parking lot at church, someone noticed all of the cars and said that we were late. However, we weren't late at all-we were about thirty minutes early. The kids Sunday school classes were not very full, but our class was pretty packed. 
• After Sunday school, we all headed to Nonna and Pops' house. Nonna had spaghetti for lunch, and it was really yummy, but not as good as her chocolate cake. The girls helped Nonna put the lights on her tree, and some of them will go back on Tuesday to finish the tree job.
• When we came home, Robby helped Tony with their Christmas lights while Campbell, Keaton and I went to Walmart to buy a few things for the puppy. Then since we had some coupons, we went and bought a few drinks (one free, one half off, and one regular price-it was no surprise to me that the regular price drink was over 6 dollars)
• Afterwards, we headed to Costco to buy a shirt for Anderson. Keaton ran in with me and found a jacket for Christmas for her. Then we came home and soon left again to take Keaton and Whitman to their life groups. A bit later, Campbell and Graham left again to go to their dgroups. 
• We all made it back about the same time, and all pretty much looked for supper at the same time. We all ate, and not Keaton and Reagan are planning a movie night and are trying to make chocolate croissant out of a can of cinnamon rolls. I have a plan B dessert picked out just in case theirs is a flop.
