1/7/18...Went to church, went to Arby's after church and then to Best Buy to get a Rotor. Our old one quit working. Rody came over to help us as we had trouble setting it up. Went to Melissa and Bruce's for Hailey's birthday party.

We went to church.  Very sad to see the Nelson's leaving and going to Oregon.  Denise hugged me and was crying and thanking me for loving her kids and teaching them, which of course made me cry so we hugged again.  I have had all but the oldest 2 in my class.  8 sweet kiddos passed though and touched my heart.  I sure will miss them.  Bill and I went to Arby's for lunch and used our coupons.  We went to Best Buy after that and got a new Router.  Our old one doesn't work right anymore.  Bill stopped at Meijer's on the way home and I ran in quick and bought lots of gum packs.  I taped them all over Hailey's presents.  Hailey wanted gum in church today and I didn't have any.  Can't wait till she see's her present tonight.  We got the Wi Fi working, but couldn't get the tv connected, so we called Rody and he came to our rescue again. He got it all set for us.  Isaac came with him today.  He had cookies and asked if he could take two home to Peyton.  What a little sweetie.  The rest of us had butterhorns.  They left, and we headed to Bruce and Melissa's for Hailey's birthday party.  She was so happy when she saw her presents with all the gum packs taped on them.  She gave me an extra hug.
We sat in the living room by the fire for a while.  It was so warm and cozy and looks so nice with all their new furniture from Christine in there.  We had taco's that were yummy; then we had cookie cake and ice cream.  It was yummy too.  Hailey opened her gifts and liked everything she got.  She and Ally took pictures with her new camera and they also started working on her scrapbook.  I am so happy she has a great friend like Ally.  Jack, Evan, Papa, Melissa and I had fun with the squishy's Hailey got.  The boys were on a team and the adults were on a team.  We got lots of exercise trying to keep the squishy's and getting them away from them.  So much fun and a great party!
