Hart Happenings

 Hello all!  What a week it has been.  Huzzah for being out of quarantine but louder huzzah for not being sick anymore!  We had a lovely afternoon doing a Temple/Priesthood Preview, doing a Christmas blitz delivery to the inactives and non-members in our ward boundaries, hosting a dinner for Alex's sister who is visiting from Tennessee and his niece who came down from BYU-I, and delivering Christmas cookies to all of our Primary teachers.  Packed but meaningful!

Jack is happy to be back at soccer.  They have completely destroyed every team they have played this season.  He is gearing up for a tournament the week between Christmas and New Year's.

Ian is so glad to be out of quarantine that he has celebrated practically every day by hosting or going to parties.  We played with friends all Tuesday afternoon, his friend turned 16 last Saturday so he went to her party, then he had some homeschool buddies over for games all Thursday afternoon.  Friday night he hosted a Christmas party for another group of friends that lasted until very late at night.  His poor parents were kind of partied out and we didn't even really attend any of the parties!

Peter was thrilled to be able to play with cousins again and do all the countdown calendars we have.  He is a little disappointed that when he tries to cheat and jump ahead to the 25th it doesn't actually make it Christmas.  Saturday, his Hart cousins and we spent the afternoon making chocolates.  Basically they dipped everything they could think of in chocolate.  The also produced a version of Mother Goose popcorn that wasn't sticky!  Do you guys remember that?  So good!  

It was such a treat to be able to go dress shopping with Emma!  She is good at making decisions!  And her dress is stunning.  She and the dress are stunning.  We had a good time going out to lunch, so delicious, and coerced her and Cam into staying a lot longer than they were planning to.  So fun to look at shoes, talk about make-up, and other fun wedding details.  

The family is pulling out the games so I had better sign off.  We love seeing the pictures and reading about the goings on all the different fronts.  Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
