My parents and brother came for Thanksgiving again this year. Thanks to my Mom, we had a great Thanksgiving meal on Thursday. Ryan didn't appreciate it though. "What IS that? I don't want that. I want a ham and cheese sandwich, Mama (his new term for me)." Ah, the joys of little kids at Thanksgiving. Well, maybe not all kids, but definitely our kids when they are little!
We spent time on Saturday going through toys to decide what we could donate. Ryan rediscovered his talking Elmo and it has been joy (and a little annoying) ever since!
We watched the Iowa-Nebraska game Friday afternoon and went out for dinner to celebrate after their big win!! Ryan was pretty excited.
My parents left Sunday morning. After they left, I was picking up the family room and it hit me that I hadn't put a Christmas card together yet. UGH. We didn't have any family pictures taken so I frantically went through all of my pictures from the year and there was nothing that was good enough for a Christmas card. So, I quickly got some clothes together and put the kids in front of the fireplace for a quick, cute picture. If only it worked out exactly as I had planned. Ryan was in no mood to take a Christmas card picture. He was much more interested in being funny and making Andy and Matt laugh while I attempted to get the picture. After many, many takes and a promise of 3 cookies, he finally sat still long enough for about two usable pictures. And I really want to get family pictures taken?
After the boys got to change back into their "real" clothes, they posed for one more picture with Matt before he left.
I went to Chicago for a shopping trip with two of my friends this weekend. It is so nice to be in the city during the Christmas season. The lights are beautiful. We had fun shopping and had a great dinner last night. A great girls weekend!
