Dear Georgia,

It's been a long weekend!  We celebrated Gibson's 6th birthday, and it was really fun.  On Saturday, you got to go to Nathan's house and watch a movie, and you thought that was really neat.  Gibson wasn't there, and it was like a big-girl playdate.  It actually was even better for me, because I didn't have any kids at home for almost 2 hours!  I can't even remember the last time I was alone in our house.  It was awesome.  When you came home, I missed you, so we had a girls afternoon.  We did our nails, ate cookies, and watched a mermaid movie.  That night, we went to Salt Lake with daddy and both sets of grandparents and saw Uncle Dillon play percussion in an AMAZING performance of Dona Nobis Pacem at the Tabernacle!  THE Tabernacle!  It was so cool, but of course, you didn't want to sit still.  We tried letting you draw, letting you put lipstick on, letting you sit with Eliza (Dill's girlfriend)...nothing worked.  Finally, and luckily, Gpa Gary was getting a little restless also, so he took you on a walk.  You were wearing your ballerina tutus (both of them), stretch pants, your rubber boots, and your hair was down and wavy.  It was a sight watching the two of you sneak out together.  I sat there and wished I could see the two of you walking together, wondering what you were doing and what you might be talking about.  It makes me so happy to see you with your great-grandparents.

On Sunday, you wore your Christmas dress...again.  I think you'll be wearing it every week until it's actually Christmas again.  In Sacrament meeting, you saw your nursery leader sitting behind us.  You kept staring back at her, and finally you whispered in my ear, "I like her."  Pretty soon, you were sitting on her lap.  You were very quiet, and it was nice to actually listen to the speakers!  During primary, you were terrible.  You were all over the place!  Your poor teachers.  Seriously, girl - you need to sit down!  I finally had to take you to sit with Daddy in the back of the room.  You cried and cried, and cried even until we got home.  You were bawling your eyes out and in your sobs you said, "I'll sit down!  I will!"  It was so sweet.  Hopefully you remember that next week!

On Monday, you went for the fourth straight day in your tutus.  We had a very quiet day, except for an outing to McDonalds with Auntie.  You cracked us up singing along with the songs in the car - you love to perform!  I really love quiet days at home with you guys.  We get to play, sing, dance, watch movies, and just enjoy being together.  Given, it is always a challenge to get you and your brother to get along, but there are many cute things that happen on those days, and I love them.

Thanks for a great long weekend!

Love,
Mommy
