Again, still need to post tons more h.s. stuff, but current events take priority! This past weekend was Christmas with J's family. We had a busy weekend, from which we're still recovering, but the girls had tons of fun with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunts and Uncles. Here's our weekend:
Cookie decorating at auntie C's house on Saturday.
Waiting at Nicolette and 4th for the Holidazzle parade. (That's the mpls public library in the background with the cool cantilevered roof.)
They turn off the street lights for the parade, so it's lit only by the lights in the trees and on the parade floats and people.
We've gone to this parade for the past 5 or 6 years at least. It can be quite cold (singe digit wind chill Saturday evening), but lots of fun, and we always eat out at our favorite pizza place either before or after.~
Sunday we had a busy morning filled with Christmas program prep and Sunday School stuff at church, then a long ride home in the newly fallen snow on the highways. That afternoon the whole family gathered at our place for a soup and chili supper and gifts. The girls got some wonderful books, some coloring things that little G happily shares with her sister, and an awesome gift that's been played with daily since they got it, about which I'll post later!
~All in all a nice weekend. And now that I've picked up their "gifts" from REI, we coast in to the holiday...
(I'm off to make cookies and chocolate chip pumpkin bread for the 2 events I'm helping to supply goodies...)
