We had a nice Thanksgiving, too! It was different than previous years, but nice enough. I got a lot done in the morning around the house, like vacuuming, 3 loads of laundry, and dishes. Here are some other things that happened:
This may seem random and not really that clean looking, but I finally organized our kitchen linens/bibs drawer so I could find stuff easier!
I cleaned the guest bathroom
Made a bunch of mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner
Fixed a sweater (I'm going to write a post on my blog after this...maybe.
UPDATE: I DID.).
And tried to get our Christmas picture taken! It is REALLY hard to use a timer on your camera with a crazy toddler though! We're thinking about just sending out this filmstrip because I think its pretty funny.
Then we went and had Thanksgiving dinner with our church family (Pastor's wife and son, a single guy we know, and another small older family), it was a nice time of food and chasing my son up the stairs so he wouldn't fall.
After that, we went out to Bremerton and stopped at Jeremy's Grandparent's house. That was nice and quiet - his Grandpa just had a stroke and seemed to be doing ok, but you could definitely see the effects of it. Shea was running around playing with the dogs and didn't even care when they nipped and growled at him, so funny.
Yesterday we went out to Renton to visit my parents. We stopped at the Supermall and went to the Christian bookstore outlet to get some books and let Shea play in the play area. My sister Kaitie's boyfriend and Matt's friend were over when we got to their house, so I got out my Cello and we all played music (Kaitie's boyfriend is very musical) it was so much fun. Then I put Shea down for a nap and Jeremy and I went out to see Inception at the 3 dollar theater. It was so good!! We haven't been to a movie together in over a year too, so it was really fun.
Then my older brother came over with his kids and wife. Shea was SO happy to play with his cousins! The cousins haven't been together for a while, so we snapped a few pictures of them playing together:
Oh, and these are my pretty Thanksgiving flowers one of the moms from my preschool class gave me:
Today I'm planning on returning a few things and working on some more Christmas presents I'm putting together. And I'm hoping we can find a little tree to put up here soon...Hope you girls enjoy your Saturday (whether you're working or not) :).
I love your pictures becca and the bathroom looks great!!! Angela and I were looking at some of my wedding pictures and commenting on how much bigger Shea is now than he was then!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to go out and see a movie, especially one as good as Inception! We've seen it twice now, haha.
Are you guys getting a tree this year?
I love your christmas card pictures! So much better than a posed studio picture because it shows reality. :) And it makes me smile lots. You guys all look adorable together!
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom is so clean and cute! I love how you have it decorated. And your fall flowers are so pretty. :)
And I am having a wonderful saturday as well. I woke up at 6:45 with the hubby and talked to him as he got ready for work. My work schedule changed as of today and now I officially work evenings. Its sad that there are three days this next week that we literally wont see each other because he starts work at 8 and I get off at 11 but oh well, such is life and I am so grateful to have a job. Today has consisted of laying around, reading a book, and taking a nap. I couldn't help it! My bed was so warm and relaxing! Haha.
Amber - I know! It seems (at least, to me) that your wedding just happened, and he has grown so much already! HA I want to see it again too! We're still discussing it. I love Christopher Nolan movies.
ReplyDeleteI really want to get a small tree. I convinced myself two months ago we wouldn't do it because its just too small here, but I just HAVE to have one. So I've already figured out how to make it work...just a matter of getting Jeremy on board with it (which isn't too hard). Are you guys getting one?
Angela -Thanks! That is so hard when you work different schedules - Jer and I did that on and off during our first year and a half of marriage, so I totally understand just wanting to rest and relax when you're home - especially when you're home together!
