I know, I know...what the heck have I been doing??? It seems like the days are just flying by:( I can't believe that Christmas is about 2 weeks away!! I need to finish up my shopping!!! At least I have a huge dent in it:)
Okay, so we had a nice Thanksgiving, even though I had to work 10-4 which meant I didn't get to my parents house this year:( We did go to Jason's grandma's and didn't stay too long as I had to work at 4:45 a.m. on Black Friday!! That was the best day ever!!! I laughed at the people running into the store when we unlocked the doors - silly people!! I volunteered to work the layaway checkout, so I was totally busy the entire time:) Most of the time, my line was nearly to the back of the store!! I was pretty dead by the end of my shift, though:) Brett & Lexie enjoyed being off from school:) They got to spend lots of time at Grandma Wanda's house:)
As some of you know, Hunting Season is a big deal up here in the U.P. Jason, naturally, had to go to camp both weekends of hunting season. The first weekend, he brought Brett with him:) Brett had lots of fun even though they didn't get to shoot anything:) I'm sure it helped that my nephew, Taylor, was at camp, too:) Lexie wanted to have popcorn and watch movies, so that's what we did most of the weekend when I wasn't at work. The second weekend of deer camp was Lexie's turn. Once again, sadly, they didn't get to shoot anything:( Poor things:( She had fun at camp with daddy:) She loves camp:) Brett and I watched movies and talked (Brett loves to talk!!). On Sunday, he went to a birthday party at the Comfort Suites and got to swim in the awesome pool:)
Last week, Brett and I went to the mall and we picked 2 angels off of the angel tree. Brett picked an 11-year old boy and I picked an 8-year old girl for Lexie. Lexie and I picked up a few things for them:) We have a couple more things to pick up this week. We have to have everything to the mall Friday. I hope those kids have a great Christmas:) Lexie picked out some cute pjs, slipper socks, and slippers for the girl:) She asked for snowpants, so we got some of those for her, too:)
Last week, I had to take each of them to town so they could pick out gifts for each other:) This is something we started a couple years ago and they suprisingly put lots of thought into their gifts:) Sometimes it seems like they really don't like each other at all:( They fight all of the time:( I thought it'd get better with them not being in the same school or on the same bus, but I guess not:(
On Sunday, we went to camp and picked out our Christmas tree:) We got a skinny one this year as we don't have room for a fat one! It really wasn't as fun this year as there was no snow so the kids couldn't have their annual snowball fight:(
Well, next week is Lexie's Christmas program and Brett's is the following week:)
Ok, well, that's all I can think of right now, but I will try to keep up a little better. I've just been working a lot, but I know that will change after Christmas:)
