Weekends aren't long enough

Another weekend in the books and I stayed busy the entire time!  I am not sure if it is because Christmas is coming, or because I was so busy with the new addition that I fell behind or that Dennis has been gimpy for so long... but I have been enjoying being so busy!  I find that for some reason I like it.   I am working on some secret projects for Christmas that have taken most of the weekend and still not done.  But man I am enjoying doing them.  I think about how some day I might not get around as well and I really enjoy this freedom, I pray I never lose it.  Anyway, I enjoy days of being home with Dennis and watching HULU and just being quiet together.

You know, you might wanna take a long hard look in the mirror. And see if the person staring back at you is the kind of person you want to be.

It's hard when you miss people.  But you know if you miss them, that means you're lucky.  It means you had someone special in your life, someone worth missing.

Mom & Dad Christmas 2010

A Night at the Christmas Lights

It was a great evening to be at the park! 67 Degrees, no wind... couldn't ask for better weather in December. They had a Christmas for the kids on route 66 (Main street) so we took the kids there and watched carolers, took a picture in a snow globe, ate sonic and met Santa. Joanie even gave Benji a crash course in saying the alphabet in Spanish.

Then we took the kids to the Christmas lights in the park. It's a massive display of lights. The kids danced and took pictures and 'oohed and awed over different displays. It takes about 30 minutes to briskly walk through it and then another 30 to walk back. Evelyn lost her play cell phone a few times where we had to double back to find it and we saw her often looking at it saying 'cheese'. We assumed she was taking selfies!

By the time we got to the car and started to leave, Benji said... I'm done, turn the lights off! lol And Evelyn just wanted a Beer! We made her repeat it 3 times.... eventually we realized she was asking for her "Bear" that was on the floorboard of the van.

What a fun evening to spend with kids. Everything is so new to them, it really makes you stop and appreciate things again.
