The Holiday Celebrations Begin

On Saturday, we went to a friend's for a Christmas party. It was so much fun. Finger foods and board games, is there a better combination? It was nice to get together with my friends and meet their 'others' finally.

And then on Sunday we headed down to Madison to visit with Alex, who was in Ohio for a friend's wedding and alotted an extra day to spend with us before flying home for the holidays. It was so good to see him again. The last time we saw him was at his basic training graduation, about a year and a half ago. We spent most of the time playing the wii, but we took some time out to grab a bite to eat and make some Christmas cookies. He was really good with Lucas and we played blocks for awhile too. He was supposed to leave Monday morning, but the flight was delayed and so I drove back down to Madison on Monday as well. We played on the wii until it was time to drive him back to the airport.




Yesterday was my day to finish all my shopping for Christmas. I had a couple of gifts to get and a lot of groceries--dinner is here again this year. I look forward to making the big dinner, I guess I like to entertain. So today, I'm going to be making some pies and dips and cleaning the house.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
