Weekend Recap

Derek has had a great schedule at work this month, and we got to enjoy a three-day weekend this weekend..so our weekend started on Thursday night! :) We celebrated the start of the weekend with a trip to Wal-Mart (and we quickly remembered why we are Target shoppers) and a family date to Fox's (a yummy pizza place) & Bop's for ice cream! When we got back home and went to get Shelby out of her carseat, this is what we found...

Apparently, the hood of her vest was impeding the view of her beloved movie. And being the problem-solver that she is, Shelby was holding her hood up so she could have a better view. Ha! We felt so bad for her b/c we were sure her arm was so tired from holding the hood up for the whole drive home! But it was just so funny.

On Friday morning, Derek went hunting (his first time hunting since we moved here), and Shelby & I enjoyed a quiet morning at home. That evening, Derek & I got to have a night out to attend the Internal Medicine department's Christmas party. We are so thankful that Shelby is very easy to leave with a babysitter..she's usually having so much fun that she doesn't even notice when we walk out the door! And we are also thankful to call so many of Derek's co-workers our friends--we really enjoyed spending time with them on Friday night!

On Saturday, we had the privilege of attending a first birthday party for one of Miss Shelby's BFFs. The party was just so stinking cute! They did a red wagon theme, which I think is just perfect for a little boy! Everything was so cute, and the food was delish! Here are some {out of order} pics from the party...






Derek works with Ben (the birthday boy's daddy) at the hospital, and Shelby & I became friends with Angela (the birthday boy's mommy) & Adam (the birthday boy) through our playgroup. Angela is actually from the same town in GA as Derek & me and went to a neighboring high school, and Ben & Angela are both UGA grads. And on top of that, they are just ridiculously sweet and funny people..we are so thankful for our friendship with them! So we were thrilled to be able to celebrate their sweet boy's first year of life with them. Happy Birthday, sweet Adam!

We made a quick trip to the commissary and BX on Saturday evening after the party, but it didn't last too long. Shelby is currently in a phase where she does not like to be in the cart for grocery shopping/errands. She doesn't throw a fit or cry...she's just very whiny the entire time. So it's hard to get anything done. But I will say, it's much easier to handle when Daddy accompanies us girls. ;)

Sunday was such a good day. The three of us stayed home all day, and it was just so nice. We only left the house to take a mid-day walk together. Despite our laziness,we did manage to accomplish getting our Christmas cards addressed, stuffed, and ready to be mailed! And Shelby & I got them dropped off at the post office this morning...feels so good to have that done! :) I always love sending & receiving Christmas cards...it's one of my favorite things this time of year! Hope everyone is having a great start to their week! :)
