So, we headed north for the long holiday weekend. Only a few flakes of snow we saw, but lots of family fun we had. My Mom fixed a yummy Thanksgiving feast which has become old hat to her, done with the greatest of ease. Friday, Jon and I attempted an early morning Black Friday shopping trip and then later the gang went bowling, had Mexican for lunch and then built a gingerbread house that we then ate for dessert.
Jon and I snuck a date in on Friday night while the boys obsessed awhile over the Wii and DSi games. On Saturday, we had pizza and then Grammy and Larry took the boys to see the Fabulous Mr. Fox movie. After that, we hauled our crew home.
Sunday morning, we lit the first Advent candle as a family at church. The boys did a stellar job -Eric read the message and Jesse read the prayer. Jon lit the candle and it was said that I was "eye candy"(??!!). Before the end of the service, Jesse pulled out #2 tooth...looks like all he needs for Christmas is two front teeth! Later on, Jon and Jesse 'created' their own peanutbutter chocolate chip cookies while Eric and I went to the Star Wars concert. It was an impressive orchestra and filled with lots of movie clips narrated by they guy who did C3P0's voice.
So, that was our packed weekend and now I'm gearing up (lol) for the work week while the boys get to enjoy one more day off tomorrow. Thankfully, I get this Friday off...gotta love that in a work schedule :)
