I think we’re having a family party on Sunday for her, but here’s a little something for her actual day!
Eric is back to work today, so I am on my own. I started a cleaning project that I think is going to turn into something a bit more complicated than I’d originally intended. Oops! Well…at least this will keep me from buying stuff somewhere because I have nothing better to do!
The weekend was good, but very busy. Here’s the quick recap:
Saturday: Did some baking and wrapping and cleaning up at my house before heading to Mom’s for the party. Lots of babies and children, lots of food, lots of gift cards. (Most importantly, I ended up with TWO gift cards to Victoria’s Secret since, after I’d gotten one earlier, Eric chose the final package and that’s what was inside. So now I have lots of money for underwear. And the big VS sale is now/soon…so I can get even more!!!)
Sunday: Got up for church, then left immediately from first service to drive to the farm. Had dinner, opened gifts with the in-laws, and then hung out. Both sets of grandparents came over for supper, so we had another small exchange with just us, since we wouldn’t see them on Christmas. Then an early bedtime…so nice!
Monday: Hung out with my in-laws for most of the day. We left for home about 5, and we relaxed at home for the evening, which was very nice.
Tuesday: Opened our presents and then headed to Cedarville for the day. We did a family Christmas, had egg casserole, and then played, chatted and goofed off in the afternoon. Chris & Deb (and the girls, of course) headed for Michigan mid-afternoon, and the rest of us just relaxed at Mom’s house. We had a yummy ham dinner, and then Eric and I headed home about 9.
Wednesday: Yesterday was a pretty lazy day at our house. We both had headaches and sore necks from sleeping wrong or something. So we weren’t ambitious by any stretch. I organized the gifts under the tree and put away the wrapping stuff. Eric got the weekend’s pictures ready to post (look for an email to come soon), and we went to a movie in the afternoon (National Treasure 2…pretty good). Then we had a light supper and relaxed all evening.
So that’s the recap…later!
Sounds like you’re being very productive! Enjoy the rest of your break.
I was glad your dad chose to change cards with me (he had tea and Olive Garden and I had a Barnes and Nobles). Not that I don’t like to read, but I still have to do two cross stiched wall hangings for the twins AND I have two books from my birthday I haven’t read yet. So, there was more chance that I would use the Olive Garden card than the book card!!
Good luck getting your tree down and stuff put away. Mine’s almost done!!
I’d like to see that movie – maybe our next date night! (Or more likely, we’ll just wait till it comes out on DVD.)
I was pretty excited about our gift cards that night, too – Donatos (Kyle’s favorite pizza) and Cold Stone Creamery for dessert!!
UGH. *their
I’m so excited for you about your $40 to VS — plus a great tank top!! And they’re semi-annual sale at the same time?!?! That’s great!
