The Little Things: Back to Reality

Zion left last night after a wonderful weekend. All of us are already counting down the days until he is back, 19 in case you were wondering.

Here is a recap from our extended weekend.

Thanksgiving morning started with some football, both on TV and at the park. 

We did go to the Village of Alameda to volunteer, but it was a huge bust. The lady who I set it up with had left early and know one else was aware we were coming. It was awkward to say the least. So we quickly headed out and over to Cracker Barrel for dinner. The food was delicious and the clean up was a breeze! 

Later that night Zion, yes Zion had a strong desire to go Black Friday shopping. There was not anything that he really wanted, he just wanted to experience it. (I kinda did too!) It was quite the experience and we got some good deals on DVD’s.

Friday had us decorating for Christmas, and some more relaxing.

On Friday night, I got to enjoy some much needed Omni time. It was so fun to get together and to catch up. We started out at Apothecary, and ended up at Monte Vista where the drinks were much cheaper and we could reminiscence our college days.

The rest of the weekend was filled with Football, multiple games of Sorry (Its one of the few Eddie and I can stand,) a trip to the Natural History Museum for a showing of Tornado Alley, making homemade goodies, Puss in Boots, family photos, and lots of quality time. 

All of my boys (including Diego) making me pizza!
