Happy Holidays everyone!!
Our holiday season started off in a quite eventful way. This year we did dual Thanksgivings. We were supposed to be at Pat's at noon, then Kara had to go to the ER and we didn't know how long she would be there (everything is fine by the way, it was something minor). So we planned to postpone until a couple of days later. Well, she ended up being there for just a couple of hours, so Bobby and I headed to Lakeville and Pat walked us through what needed to be done by phone. We did a good chunk of the cook prep while Pat was out. Then they came back and we had a delicious dinner! Then it was off to my parents' house.
Thanksgiving also fell on my brother's birthday this year. So we had pie AND ice cream cake! More yummy food there, even though we were more stuffed than we could express! My grandma had emergency surgery the week before and was in the nursing home. She wasn't feeling the best so she didn't come to dinner but we all went to see her after dinner and spend some time with her.
Friday morning it was time for SHOPPING! Yes, my mom and I are nuts and we went to Rosedale. We got there about 6:30, so we weren't there first thing at 4 AM, no way! We got lots of great deals, I did some Christmas shopping and got a few things for myself! Friday night Bobby and I went to Faribault with my friend Karen to celebrate my friend Angie's birthday. Saturday we did more shopping then went to my brother's birthday party at his house.
We definitely had a busy weekend! But we got to spend time with the people we love the most. Now we're 2 weeks into December and I am LOVING it! This is my favorite time of year (hence why we got married 4 days after Christmas!) Our decorations are up and the cookies will be baked this weekend. We're going to our first holiday party on Friday and we're hosting one on Saturday. Well, it's really a 60th birthday party for my dad, but we're throwing in a little holiday cheer for good measure.
Happy Holidays to all and enjoy this fabulous time of year!!
