Leonard - Murray's cousin from St. Louis - arrived in Clinton on Wednesday evening for a two-week stay while his family vacations in San Juan, Puerto Rico and a cruise. Tom brought him over and had a quick sandwich with Grandma before returning back home. Lenny and Murray have been having fun at Grandma's. We made party mix and peanut butter fudge this week.
Saturday, Ron and I headed to Kansas City for a little shopping before going to visit the Todds. We stayed with Peyton and Garrison while Amanda and Chad went on a well-deserved date night - dinner at the Gaslight Grill. Peyton and I cut out snowflakes - she was very proud to display them on the back glass door. We also fixed whole wheat tortilla snowflakes - dusted with powdered sugar at the end. They were tasty and pretty. We also made for the second year in a row a rice krispy wreath, decorated with m & m;'s. Not sure where my pictures are of those craft projects. We had a great evening and spent the night so we could attend Peyton's church Christmas program at Prince of Peace on Sunday morning.
Chad, Garrison, Ron and I attended mass while Peyton and Amanda went to one final rehearsal. Peyton did an awesome job singing and doing the motions to the songs. We had front row seats and could hear her very clearly - she knew all the words, smiled and did a fantastic job!!!! We were so proud - Grandpa, Grammy and Mommy were all crying! Happy tears.
We stopped at a few shopping destinations on the way home, had Sonic for lunch and are now visiting Mom for a few hours.
Despite a nasty cold, it's been a memorable week.
