Productivity..

We've had a fun time with the long weekend. Thanksgiving we totally laid back. Friday I did some shopping in the morning and then we just hung out the rest of the day with football on, of course! Luckily it was not our turn to watch kids friday night, so Ben and I got a date out to dinner and browsing some Black Friday deals. Then today- headed to Bass Pro Shop for a trip to see Santa. There was quite a line.. so quite a bit of people... and ran into some old friends and live further away friends and just friends.. it is a small world. That was fun. Kids were running around riding all the quads. Linc had to sit on every blue one, Carter everyone green and Tatum whatever. Those boys are stuck on their favorite colors. Makes life fun!! They continued to run around while I sat in line... right before our turn we did a run through "What do you want for Christmas?, sit on Santa's lap for a picture.." The prepping worked. The family in front of us had two yr old twin girls and a 6 yr old girl. They were awesome in line- I was very impressed- and they screamed when they got to Santa. Our kids ran up to him, gave him a big hug- they all told him they wanted race cars for Christmas, said "cheese" for the Camera, gave him a hug goodbye and we were on our way. It was AWESOME!! I felt like a good parent. (that doesn't happen often). So that was our fun morning. This afternoon Ben put some wood we've been storing for 8 months to good use. More attic space. When it came time to nail it in- all the kids jumped in to help. It was hilarious. That were up there for about an hour helping Dad nail and screw and whatever else. It was a great teaching moment and funny to watch. Linc copies Ben in every way he can.






Good times! And now back to life..

We did get all our Christmas stuff up and can enjoy the Christmas season!! Now next holiday to look forward to!
