Gabe and I had an awesome time at Catching Fire in Imax. I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head! What a treasure it is to spend time one-on-one with each of the kids. Especially my almost-teenage boy. (The movie was amazing too!)
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner last Sunday with my family. Yeah for turkey!
My nephew plays in the University of Toledo band and we went to see their end of season concert last weekend. It was wonderful! Olivia still loves the baton twirlers. When the cheerleaders came out on stage, it got really quiet, and she said “UH OH!” It was hysterical.
My stepsister was in town this week and I was able to see her. It’s been a long time since she’s been home!!
We took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge for an overnight on Tuesday. Matthew chose going there over having a birthday party this year. We all had a blast! I saw one of my work friends from my last school and we got to catch up too. That was a treat!
I took a nap on Wednesday!
We had Thanksgiving day all to ourselves. We went for a nice long walk with our friends, went to see Frozen, played games and watched Charlie Brown Christmas. A perfect day!
Frozen was stellar!!! LOVED it!
All of my Christmas decorations are up!
Buddy the Elf on the Shelf is back. What shenanigans will he be up to this year, I wonder?
What made you happy this week?
