George is Back!

This past weekend was fairly quiet overall.  Saturday morning we did go to the kids school for a really fun event.  They had a holiday shop where kids can go in and shop for their siblings or parents or whoever and each gift is less than $5.  Then it gets wrapped up before they ever come out.  The boys had so much fun doing this and I think it will make Christmas morning very special for them to get gifts from each other that they picked out and pay for themselves.  The event also had various crafts and activities for the kids and a raffle and silent auction.  We were excited to find out the next day that we won a 4 person VIP pass, including a pre game and post game "experience" and a signed soccer ball from DC United.  So, we look forward to going to that next season.

Then, Logan had a birthday party for one of the girls in our play group.  He had a blast doing that.  I was a bit embarrassed to show up at the birthday party with him in full (tiger) makeup.  When he said he wanted to get it done at the boys school, I completely wasn't thinking about the birthday party he was going straight to!  Oh well!

The rest of the day was spent running errands and doing things around the house.

Sunday morning the kids were super excited to see that their elf, George, was making an appearance again this year!  George brought them donuts and presents with Christmas PJ's in it!  He also wrote a letter reminding them to be good.

Sunday evening we brought dinner and dessert over to Aunt Meghan, who was recovering from foot surgery.  Without sports right now our weekends are relatively calm, which is a nice change of pace.
