Sometimes we get so busy with our lives we forget what's it like to just do nothing.  This past weekend was one of those weekends for us.  Even after C-dog was done with football we had his birthday and Thanksgiving right behind it.  Then December hits and it seems like something is going on every weekend.  Well this past weekend was a refreshing break.  Friday we both got home before 5pm.  After dinner Big C got the fire pit going in the backyard and we sat back there enjoying the warmth.  The kids roasted marshmallows (or as C-bug says smarshmallows), jumped on the trampoline and just had a grand old time.  Saturday the kids and I went to see Beauty and the Beast on broadway.  It was really good.  Then that night we were home again.  Chili was in the crockpot...yummy!  Then we all went out and looked at Christmas lights.  Found some really cute ones.  Sunday was church and dinner with family.  It doesn't get any better than that.  Now we are on the countdown to Christmas.  I can't wait to see the kids faces when they open all their gifts.  Even better I love to see their faces when we open something they picked out.  They are so excited to see if we like it. 

5 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!  Are you ready???
