Weekend Wrap-Up

Thursday
I got to leave work a couple of hours early this morning so that meant I went to sleep earlier and was able to get up earlier to run errands.  I had a rather long list of things to do and knew I couldn't sleep till 3 or 4.  I did a little more Christmas shopping and then went to the grocery store to get all the rest of the things I needed to make stuff for this weekend.  And all that shopping led to this...
I was up baking a little later than I wanted to be but I got it all done!!

Friday
I was working at the restaurant today at 11 so I left a little early so I could run by Maurice's because I didn't get to go yesterday. They were having a sale and I found a couple of shirts. Work was really busy and we know that means I make more money that way so I was a happy girl! I also got new tires put on my car and my oil changed while I was there, not only am I happy but I'm safe too!! I made it home in enough time to put my taco dip together and get ready for the Christmas party for work that was at 6.
Abby, Me & Jessica 
Our whole group 
Penny & I (my work mom) 
Me & Jess!  Love her! 
Then it was time to play more games, we had already played MadGab and laughed up a storm!!  Now it was time to DANCE!!  JustDance2 that is!  We battled it out and I won the first round but ended up losing in the championship....to my defense, it was a song I didn't know!

Kristen & I
We ended up hanging out for a few more hours just talking and eating.  It was a lot of fun and we ended up not leaving till 2am!  I knew it was gonna make it hard for me to get up the next morning!!

Saturday
Yep, it was definitely hard to get up when I heard my alarm go off, I might have hit the snooze button a time or 6! HA!!  All well, I eventually crawled out of bed, got my self ready, packed up all my things and hit the road.  As I'm about 10 minutes down the road I'm pretty sure I forgot to close my garage door. I texted my friend who lives right across from and sure enough, I didn't, but she did!!  Thank goodness for friends!!  It was such a fun day/night at our annual Christmas get together!!
Madelyn loves this trick!

The Whole Group!!   
The girls in their pj's (with matching slippers by the way) watching a movie
We ended the night playing bunco again like we've done in the past and of course it was a blast!!  Becca ended up dominating and won the gift card!!!  Lindsay & Ty left then Danielle and Jeremiah weren't too far behind.  Becca & Todd and the girls stayed and so did I.  We were all exhausted and headed to bed after watching Daniel Tosh. 

Sunday
I was very happy to wake up and see that it was almost 8am.  I just thought for sure the girls would be up way earlier than that!!  We all ended up getting up around 9 and Jason ran to Hardee's for some breakfast!  YUM!!  We hung out for a little bit although we missed Lacy because she had to be at work at 7:30.  We packed up our things and hit the road around 11:30.  I made it home pretty quick and unpacked, cleaned up the mess I had left yesterday.  I watched the last episode of season 3 of Gossip Girl then decided I would watch some episodes of Hart of Dixie because I've missed quite a few.  I ended up falling asleep!  I guess I needed a nap, it was a rather busy weekend!!

Christmas Eve Eve

In my family we do Christmas on the 23rd, hence the name Christmas Eve Eve! We all get together at my mom and Gerry's house. It's Mom, Gerry, Katie, Mike & Nate, Michelle, Kelsey & Madison, Me, Lindsay & Ty. We all eat dinner together which was pizza from Turoni's and I'm pretty sure that is going to be tradition from now on. We also always take our annual family picture. (I'll have to add it in later once I ask mom to email them) Then it's on to opening presents and there are always way too many!! This is my favorite of all the Christmas get togethers we do!
