Weekend Recap

Happy Tuesday!

Well, the Christmas in July party was fabulous! We met at Suzanne’s house at 6pm and had dinner. She completely decorated her house, even a little tree and stockings for each of us. She and her husband made a whole Christmas dinner – schnitzel, 4 cheese mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, Watergate salad, rolls and pumpkin cheesecake. After we stuffed ourselves, we went ice skating. It had been about 14 years since I ice skated, so it took a while to get back in the groove of it, but I almost felt graceful by the time we finished up. And no one got hurt!

After our Olympic trials (haha), we headed back to her house for games and gifts and more food and merriment. One friend had to go home around 12:30am, but the rest of us stayed and fell asleep at 1am. We got to sleep until 9am (no kids waking us up!) and were treated to bagels and smoothies for breakfast. Then it was time to head back to the real world of grocery shopping (two of us had to stop at Walmart on the way home) and whatnot. But it was a great time and we’re hoping to make it a yearly tradition.

Saturday night we kept Karlie and Brina while their parents went on a Date Night. They had a great time playing in the pool with Brady. I’ll have pictures up soon of that. Karlie even declared that she wanted to spend the night at our house. It was so cute.

Sunday was Sunday School and church and shoe shopping for DH in the afternoon. A good finish to a good weekend.

4 days until vacation!
