We have had a great family weekend. We always take a Saturday near Christmas and take the kids shopping for one another - Kiley picks something for Eli and Eli for Kiley. They always have a lot of fun. So we shopped, went out to eat, took naps, set up our fire pit, and enjoyed some fun family time cooking over the fire and hanging out. Then when the kids went to sleep I was able to finish up sewing some Christmas presents.

Now Daddy and Eli are hanging a few lights outside (like two strands:) Eli wanted some out but to follow our roof line would take some serious work so we are just adding a little color. For anyone who lives in our neck of the woods our street is pretty impressive and worth a drive over to see. There is even music at one house. The kids love walking up and down the street in the evening.
