Snapshots of an evening "off"

I really don't have time to blog tonight; I'm just dropping in to show off this precious little munchkin
and this precious big munchkin.

We were supposed to have the night off (translation: no rehearsal, church activities, school activities, or miscellaneous engagements). What we ended up doing was

• going straight to my parents' house after school so I could practice with my mom and Debbie since I got roped into singing with them this Sunday (I jest, I was not "roped into" anything; rephrase= mildly prodded)
  
• being thankful for our foresight to make tonight's dinner last night in the crockpot so it was ready when we got home
• cleaning said crockpot so we Matt could make chili for tomorrow's English II Christmas lunch fiesta
• doing a kajillion loads of overdue laundry
• making 4+ dozen cake balls (yeah, those didn't get done this past weekend)
• making 2 dozen mini chocolate chip cakes (experiment=success!)

AND

• you know, being parents to pretty much the coolest baby ever.
  

I'm so thankful that I have a husband who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, so to speak, and helps out around the house so we're both able to enjoy spending time with Avery (and together of course!) despite the seemingly never-ending lists. Speaking of togetherness, I'm out.
