Cleaning and Tying

The day after Christmas, we were assigned to clean our church with a few other families. Bryan was under the weather so he stayed home with Myles. Luke and Emma were hard workers and it was a good thing, because we made up 3/4 of the cleaning crew! It was a good morning and the kids liked doing service.

 

That afternoon, I took Luke shopping for new shoes with part of the money that his grandma and grandpa Nielson sent for Christmas . Luke genuinely appreciates one-on-one time and we had a great time shopping for new shoes together. Prior to Luke picking out his shoes, we set a goal with him to help him learn how to tie his shoes over Christmas break. Bryan grabbed the bull by the horns and in one afternoon Luke was tying his own shoes.

Apparently, it was an exhausting day for Luke. Not sure he ever made it into bed. :)
