Busy Weekend

We had a very productive weekend. We started by cleaning and organizing our attic and moving some things into a much needed storage unit.  The only thing left in the attic now are all of our holiday decorations, so we can locate them easily as each holiday approaches. John is really happy about this! 

We managed to get all of Christmas decorations out. We had the lights put on the house, but John did all the yard lights and put up all four of the Christmas tress, and I decorated each one. Aaron was the only one eager to help, although Lainie was in awe. She stood and looked at all the decorations and the trees, but she never did touch. Such a big girl!

We also squeezed in the Christmas pictures! We took them just outside our subdivision by the pond. It was very cold, but the little ones seemed to do pretty good. I think we have few really good pictures! 

Yesterday was Kathy's baby shower and it was very nice. It has been many years since I've had to organize an event, but things seemed to go pretty smoothly, and Kathy received a lot of wonderful gifts for baby Ella. Kathy has her last ultra sound November 29th and if she doesn't have the baby prior to January 13th, she will be induced. We are all getting really excited to meet baby Ella Marie.

Today is John's last day off for awhile, so after our busy weekend I think today is good day to go out to lunch and a possible movie. Oops, John just walked in with Lainie and she seems to have the croup with a fever, so we will be staying home with the sick girl.
