Over the weekend

This past weekend was pretty casual. We ran some errands on Friday, never even left the house on Saturday, and hung out with our best friends on Sunday. I BARELY snapped any photos, which I think isn't a bad thing :)

We did a little Christmas shopping at Target. I am certainly not done with Christmas shopping, are you? I think last year I was done and wrapped by now. This year? Well, I am about half way done with Nothing wrapped. Ek! Buuuut, I did get our Christmas cards out, so I am giving myself a little pat on the back for that.  Back to Target.... who wouldn't want to go shopping with Super Heroes?

Chloe got a MagnaDoodle from her Great Grandma and she absolutely LOVES it! This is our picture of her and Luke. I helped her make the eyes, noses and mouths and she took care of the rest, lol. 

The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out as a family, cooking- specifically banana bread (YUM!) and rice krispie treats ( Double YUM!) and relaxing. 

We spent most of Sunday with our best friends and the kids played, we ate and watched the 49er game. This is a ROUGH year to be a 49er fan, sheesh!

Hope you all had a great weekend too! Less than 2 weeks until Christmas!

Throwback Thursday - Thanksgiving 2016

It has been a little crazy in my neck of the woods lately. Being sick last week pretty much took me outta the game and then there were some blog technical difficulties. But hey, now I'm back!

 

That being said, I didn't get to post about Thanksgiving, so I am doing a throwback Thursday for it :)

 

On Thanksgiving day, we went to my mom's house and spent time with family. My sister's daughter is just 7 months older than Chloe, so it is such a fun time when the three cousins get together.

 

 

The day after thanksgiving, we headed to Walnut Creek to see my grandma with my dad, step-mom and brother. The kids got to open Christmas gifts from their GG Lee too. They loved everything so much!

Luke is getting to the age of action figures, so he got his first superhero ones.

The whole family stays in the Embassy Suites at Walnut Creek and the kids love it. They have a pond in the lobby with fish and the kids could watch them swim around for days.

On Saturday, we were hoping to head to Gilroy Gardens with my sister and her family, but the weather didn't cooperate. So we just headed home. We spent most of the rest of the weekend just chilling at home and recovering from a fun and crazy few days.

 

Of course we had some Lego time- here is the robot Luke made.

Thanksgiving weekend was great. I hope you had a nice time with family as well.
