A Fulfilling Weekend

Even though the temperatures dropped in my neck of the woods, I had a great family weekend.

On Saturday night, we attended our annual "mom's group" family dinner and gift exchange.  Our friend that hosted even had Santa come visit! However that was quite interesting with a group of three year olds and under. Not many warmed up to the jolly ole guy or even Mrs. Claus.


On Sunday, my in-laws watched Conley while my husband, Nolan, and I went to church.  It was great to just go with Nolan, and I realized that was the first or second time my husband and I have both  been alone with Nolan since Conley has been born. How crazy is that? 

Then after church, I took Nolan to his first movie! We have a dollar theater (even though it is $2.50 now) that was playing Planes! He loved it and sat still the whole time. He did not want to leave though and had a little bit of a tantrum but all and all we had a great time.  It's nice to have a little special time with my boy! 

I will be taking a break to enjoy this Thanksgiving holiday with my family and friends, and I hope you do the same!

Happy Thanksgiving my friends!

  4. Happy Thanksgiving, Natalie! I love that one-on-one time with Scarlet, and it is few and far between. I will be taking a two day break (it counts, I guess) and we'll have so much family here tomorrow, that maybe I'll even get some free time to cook without anyone hanging off my legs!

  7. so funny -- I don't take the kids to Santa anymore. the eldest (boy) was never afraid and brings a list a mile long. the middle girl is so excited she has to pee every 5 minutes, and then takes one look at Santa and bursts into tears - terrified! The youngest is the one that will pull his beard, touch his belly, talk about the reindeer......just All Over. It's crazy. LOL

    Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your precious family.
