We went to a memorial service on Monday morning for Veterans' Day.
Our neighbor, Addi, and her friend rang our doorbell and ran away, leaving a mysterious baked object on our front porch along with a note asking how we liked it. We lied and said we loved it, then we threw the not poop away.
Becky is teaching a gluten free baking class at Helen's school. Her class has 11 students, ages 6-14. This week we made gluten free cupcakes and decorated them. Here are some of the finished products. The cupcake with eyes is supposed to be a turkey-corn, a cross between a turkey and a unicorn. We probably wouldn't eat these if we found them on our front porch, either.
Our stake kicked off the holiday season with a 5K on Saturday. It was very low key-- just show up and run through the neighborhood near the stake center. Missionaries stood at critical turns to direct the runners. Becky and Helen ran it along with Helen's friends, Sarah and Emma.
Abe, Gibson and Brandan didn't run the 5K because they were picking up canned food for Scouting for Food.
Helen played Christmas music along with a group of violinists for beginning of holiday shopping at Paddington Station, a local store.
Brandan's office held their annual Christmas party on Saturday. They've started holding it early to avoid competition with all the other activities in December. The party was at an ice skating rink and we all had a great time. Helen and Gibson liked using the walkers so they could skate extra fast.
Helen and Gibson are getting ready for another musical number in sacrament meeting. They're playing the hymn "Be Still My Soul" with Eddy on piano and Mary and Addi on violin. The photo shows them practicing after church today. They'll play in sacrament meeting next Sunday.
In case you are wondering, Abe successfully completed the crocheting challenge at the SOU scavenger hunt this week, earning full points for his team!
