Thanksgiving week and weekend

What a whirlwind week. We've tried to do downtime as much as possible, but it has been busy!
Tuesday morning our new handyman came and finished the work our previous handyman didn't finish. Tuesday night I went to the grocery store and you would have thought an ice storm was coming! No eggs, bread, and low on milk. It was quite a sight. That night we put up our new FAKE Christmas tree and it is so awesome! I'm so glad we got it. It's a very good knock off of a Fraser Fir.
Wednesday, I can't even remember! LOL
Thursday morning we went with our neighbor's to Tempe Towne Lake Park, where we had breakfast in the park. It was a beautiful morning with lots of yummy food and mimosas. We were there for about two hours and then needed to head back home to cook our food to take to the Tripp's home for Thanksgiving dinner at their house. We spent it with them and their friend's Penny, Ivan, May, and Izzy. We had a great time and created a lot of great new memories.
Friday morning we got up and began to unpack finally and clean our very dirty house. I made a taco soup, and John and Amy came over to spend some time with us. We ended up in our neighbor's driveway. They pulled out their fire pit, the kids roasted marshmallow's, and we just hung out. It was nice. We started plotting our idea's for decorating the house on Saturday.
Mike got on a ladder people! And strung the whole house! He did such a great job!. We got out our Santa on a train, the presents, got some new candy canes, and decorated almost every bush we have with lights. It took us all day until that night till about 10pm! Our break for the day was decorating the Christmas tree.
I had a young man at Target, who checked me out on my second visit there that day, tell me it wasn't worth it. I said that it absolutely was when I have 3 children 3 and under and it makes them happy. He said touche'. Bah humbug. He must of been tired and having a bad day.
Sunday we headed off to church, and then came home for a nap. I can't remember the rest of the day, must be because we did nothing ;-)
