Wrappin' Up The Weekend

It's hard to believe, but the long weekend is already coming to a close! It's been a really nice weekend and our transformation to a Christmas house has begun. David & I had the most relaxing, fantastic Thanksgiving we've ever had....and it was so nice. We stayed home - he cooked - and my mom, Kerry & Michael came over for dinner. After we successfully stuffed ourselves, we played a dice came called LCR and it was soooo fun! For anyone who enjoys games, you gotta get this one. It involves some light gambling....or heavy if you prefer....but it's fast paced and really fun. You can buy it at Spencers. After that ended, we played Cranium and laughed so hard we cried at times :-) What I can't believe is that I didn't take one picture all day of our Thanksgiving holiday....that's so unlike me!

Friday I experienced my first Black Friday shopping day! It wasn't as bad as I expected. My mom and I went to Central Park in Fredericksburg and the worst store there was Kohls....the line was from the front door to the back of the building. We both agreed there wasn't anything in that store worth an hour long wait! In the end, we both had a successful day of shopping and by 9:30 we were home and exhausted!

Saturday I found my way to the gym (woo hoo!) and then had a movie marathon. First I watched "Evan Almighty" with the kids while David went deer hunting (he wasn't successful). That was a really cute movie! Next was the all time classic "A Christmas Story" which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. And then once they were nestled in their beds, David & I watched "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" which was hilarious!

Today was all about football and Christmas decorating!

Our Christmas Tree

Once again the Redskins completely let me down (boooo) - you'd think by now I'd be getting used to this, but I just can't :-( We managed to get 2 of our 3 Christmas trees up and the one that's not up yet is our Redskins themed tree....after today I'm not sure I have the heart to put that one up! We'll see.

So as I close out this post, the long weekend is almost officially over and Christmas is only 30 days away....are you ready?!!! If not, let me take you back a few weeks and get caught up on my pics....see below!
