Weekend Wrap-Up

It is December.

How did that happen?

The countdown to Christmas has begun, and the Christmas decorations were finally unearthed from our cedar closet.  So here's the rundown on the weekend:

Friday
We went to pizza night over at the Koch's.  Callie and Christine had fun playing together, and the boys were around too.  They gave Callie a bunch of play instruments, so they all had fun playing with those in between pizza slices.  Yum!

Saxophone and Drum

Fun with the iPad

Saturday
We got out the Christmas decorations on Saturday morning.  Callie was excited about the little Nativity set.  We taught her about Baby Jesus et. al.,  but she was mostly interested in using the stable as a slide for all of them.

After a (short) nap, Jenna and Charlie came over.  We played at our house, drove (through the snow- my new car ROCKS!) to Edinborough to play some more, and went to dinner.  It was a really fun afternoon/evening!

Not quite getting how the scooters work:

Dinner Date- What's up Charlie?

Playing Peek-a-Boo across the table

Sunday
Throughout this weekend Callie has battled yet ANOTHER cold.  So today was a crabby lazy day.  

Jammy time in the morning.

With a little dancing as well.


Then shopping for new boots so we could play in the snow and take adorable Christmas Card pictures.

Fail.

Not happy about the mittens

Not happy at all

So...no luck with the adorable pictures, and time for a nap.

The day ended much better, with some playtime with Daddy and Uncle Dan.  I got to go to "A Christmas Carol Musical" with The rest of the Gosselin clan.  It was great! 

Tonight we headed to church to be the Advent Reader/Candle Lighter family.  We got to light the "Hope" and "Joy" candles.  Pretty sweet, considering the middle names of our dog and daughter.
