I was able to take the kids downtown to see the Macy's display along with two friends and their kids. It was fun to see "Santa's workshop" and sit on his lap. Both kids managed to sit on his lap without crying, although they didn't seem too sure of what to think!
I got to have my annual cookie baking day with my two best friends from high school, Jamie and Alison. We get together every year to do this and really enjoy it! Every year we get a little quicker even with the addition of 5 kids (Jamie-2, me-2, and Alison-1) between the three of us now!!!
We were able to spend Christmas Eve at Joe's parents house. Joe's two brothers, Kip and Buddy, were there. As well as his sister Penny along with her 4 kids and boyfriend Alan. Our oldest niece Lucia and her son Alex were also there. It was a full house but we had a lot of fun!!! Good food and lots of presents so the kids and the adults enjoyed it.
Joe finished another 9 credits at North Hennepin Community College and was able to get a second Associates Degree! It was a long semester but he did an awesome job! He will be starting at Metropolitan State in January to get his Bachelors Degree in Business Management. He has 32 credits he needs to complete to get that degree. So we will just take it one semester at a time!
We spent New Year's Eve at home with our friends Ethan, Kim and their kids. We made steak and crab legs which turned out great!!! The two little one's, Austin and Taylor, went to bed early. But Kaelyn, Bryson and Kelsey stayed up until midnight! It was a nice way to end the year. We are looking forward to all that 2011 will hold for our family!
