We hit the road around 10am on Thanksgiving Day and got there a little after 1pm. We had to stop for lunch in Hinkley and there was NOTHING open. Louie was ready to get the heck out of dodge. He found these beach sunglasses and didn't take them off the whole way there. He loves wearing them.
We had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with my mom, and all of the Tapio's. Elsie and Melvin were leaving on Saturday for Texas, it was nice to see them before they go. Emily was sitting down next to her Auntie M and learned the proper way to eat olives.
On Friday, the Tapio's went to El and Mel's place to celebrate Christmas. While they were gone, the cookie baking began. I think we baked a total of 125 dozen cookies on Friday and Saturday. CRAZY!
Before we left on Sunday afternoon, I walked down to the lake and took a few pictures. This picture is straight out of the camera. It was pretty cool.
We put up out Christmas lights before we left, it was nice to come home to them on, the house looked so nice.
Last night, "Shrek the Halls" was on. Our kids LOVE Shrek, we don't watch it too much because there was a lot of "shut up donkey" being yelled in our house . . . but Louie had to wear his glasses while he watched it.
We're getting ready for cookie decorating with my friends from St. Kate's on Saturday. It was so much fun last year.
Then we have Emily's birthday party at Grandma's house on Sunday. Another busy week!
