It's been a busy last few days! Thursday was Thanksgiving and we went to the Miedema's for the big meal. It was a nice dinner, and then we sat around and talked for a few hours. Later we went over to my Mom and Dad's and had some dessert. Unfortunately, Caleb didn't get a nap in that day, and was tired and cranky by 7:00 pm. He held up pretty well though, considering all the activity and people. We are blessed beyond belief to have our health, family, shelter, and food thoughout another year.
Friday morning I went out shopping with my mom. Now, we aren't those die-hard Black Friday shoppers who stand in line for hours, in sub-zero temperatures, hoping to trample everyone and get our hands on a t.v. or something. Our style is much more relaxed. Breakfast first (of course!), then out to see what sort of sales are going on. We didn't even have anything specific in mind this year to buy, and that's probably a good thing because we don't have the drive to get out and fight the crowds. I mean, who wants to wake up early after a full day of eating and sitting around? Actually, we really didn't find much, but the time we spent together was fun, and it's a great time to catch up and just enjoy eachother. Love you mom! I then had a fun girl's night at Steph's house. (Oh yeah- thanks for watching Caleb most of the day Jeff.)
Saturday I put up Christmas decorations around the house. It got a little stressful in the morning with Caleb. When Jeff is home on the weekends he acts up alot, it seems. Or maybe it's just that he likes Jeff more than me. Either way, he's attached to Jeff and wants nothing to do with me. It gets a little frustrating, but luckily he took a long nap and I was able to de-stress. Jeff went out and pushed deer with his male family members, and ended up shooting a doe. We went out for a quick dinner and that was our Saturday!
Finally, today, we ended the weekend by cutting down our Christmas tree. It was a perfect day, and we had no trouble finding the right tree. Caleb didn't really care about the tree selecting, but enjoyed following the chickens that lived on the farm around. He even got to pick an egg out of their boxes! Maybe we should consider getting some chickens or small farm animals. I think he would love it. Chickens stink though....
So, the end of the busy weekend is upon us. I made some brownies, and I think I'll go eat them. It's the perfect ending to a busy, but fun weekend. I live such a blessed life. Sometimes it amazes me just how lucky I am.
"So often we dwell on the things that seem impossible rather than on the things that are possible. So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done."
