So this pasted weekend, was a busy one! We started the Christmas celebrations at my dads house on Saturday then started at moms on Sunday. Spent the day cooking and just chilling at dads. It was a good day. It had been a while since I have just hung out at dads with the family. We all had a great time with some Amazing food! Sunday was also a great day. After the girls' soccer games, we spent the evening at moms, with more Amazing food and family. We decided to do Christmas early with some part of the family, because they wont be here on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. My brother and his wife will back in STL for christmas and my dad and step mom will be celebrating in Ohio with my sister and lil nieces and nephew.
This weekend also proved to be a rough one, because of the tragedy in CT. Im not going to continue about it. However it brought on a whole new type of parenting for me. It was heart breaking to have a conversation like that with my girls. I wanted to make it conversation that would not scare into not wanting to go to school or to get on the bus, but in a way they could understand what happened. It proved harder than i thought it would be, but we got through it.
Now on to some not so sad stuff.....This is the last week before Christmas, so I guess that means that I should start shopping. Yes I said start.....Things have just been so crazy with Patrick being in Neb, that leaves me to run the girls to all their practices and games...then add some classes and a 6 month old in the mix.....its crazy. For the first time in years, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day wont be that busy. We do not have to run around all over the place. Just one place Christmas Eve and two places on Christmas Day. However the days after Christmas...are going to be nuts. Patrick brother and wife are coming into town, but will not be here till December 26th. So his whole side of the family decided to do Christmas at the end of the week so everyone could see Adam, Lois and the kids. Guess thats all for now. Time to get ready to get the kids off the bus and then head to Crown Center and see the "Big Christmas tree" as Kailyn calls it and then off to see Santa!
