Today was a good
day. The girls slept until a decent time, which was great. After we ate some
breakfast, we blasted some Christmas Music, I made some Hot Chocolate, and we
decorated the Christmas tree. We actually let the girls do most of the
decorating this year, and they LOVED it. Christian would pick them up to hang
them higher, and they filled up the bottom like pros. I did have to adjust a
few of them after they went down for their naps, but they actually did a really
good job. They were so proud of their masterpiece! I hung our stockings and got
some of our decorations up, and it’s starting to look a lot like Christmas.
YES!
Once the tree was
up, we all got dressed and took our family photos for our Christmas card. I
couldn’t get great lighting in the house, but we ended up with a pretty good
picture, so I’m content.
Then, it was nap time! Christian and I relaxed on the
couch and watched some football for a while. The Vikings had a REALLY bad day
against the Bears this week. OUCH. To make it worse, they play Green Bay next
weekend, then the Bears again the following weekend – so we have some rough
games ahead of us. It’s not looking too good – but I’m not giving up hope yet!
I did run to
Walmart before the girls got up. I had to buy a birthday gift for party
tonight, and ended up buying some stuff for the girls too. They still had their
board games on sale, so I got them Candyland and Chutes and Ladders (they’ll
each get one from Santa), and I got Olivia’s Hungry Hungry Hippos for her
birthday (she thinks that game is HILARIOUS, I can’t wait to play it with
her!).
Olivia was up when
I got home, so I got her dressed and ready to go. Then, got Amelia up, dressed
and ready to go. We made our way to our little friend Caleb’s 4th
birthday party! The girls had so much fun doing some crafts and playing with
the kids. I got to catch up with my BFF and her family for a while. Win/Win!
Christian stayed home and did some stuff around the house. He ran out the gas
on the lawnmower and riding mower, checked the snowblower and put up some
plastic on the windows. Busy bee!
It was pretty much
bedtime when the girls and I arrived home. I finished up some laundry, watched
a few shows and fell asleep myself. So sad to see this long weekend come to an
end. It’s never easy…
