Advent Tea

Today was our Parish Advent Tea, and it was the 5th one and the 3rd one at the Bolingbrook Country Club.  This was my secont time going and I loved it even more than the first time.  You get to sit at a table of 8-10 women and the tables are decorated my other ladies from the parish.  This year Kathy's friend Aida, who is also my friend too, decorated 3 tables and they were all lovely.  The pictures below are her three tables and I was at the "Lemon Tree" table.


We enjoyed a wonderful meal of salad, quiche and potatoes, fruit stewers, finger sandwiches and pateries for dessert.  Then we enjoyed so wonderful Christmas songs and a raffle.  I really enjoyed being with fellow ladies from the parish and their moms but most importantly I loved being with my monther-in-law Kathy.  Below are some some pictures of Kathy and I, Kathy and her friends, the table hostess and her friends.

Potty Training

Maggie is doing really well with potty training.  We started about 2 weeks ago with really pushing her to go on the potty and it helped too that she was showing more and interest with going.  She is wearing pull-ups and goes on the potty at least 2-3 times a day.  She has gone number #2 once on her potty but hasn't done it since.  She also has started telling me that she has to go potty, her pull-up is ususally dry and she does go.  Even when her pull-up is dirty, she sometimes will still on her potty and goes as well.  My goal is too get her in underwear and potty trainded by April when she turns 3 because next fall she will be in preschool.

 When Eva graduated from 8th grade all she wanted was a pair of old school Michael Jordan shoes that were black, white and blue.  So that is what we got her.  Now for Maggie we wanted to something to make her feel special since she had a difficult time with the whole COVID-19 pandemic.  She has always loved musicals, so we got her tickets for her and Jim to go see the musical WICKED.  They finally went tonight, and they loved it.  Jim said it was better than the first time he saw it with me.  They enjoyed a nice dinner on the 21st floor of a hotel and had 4 row tickets in orchestra section.  So glad that she felt like a princess.
