After our great Thanksgiving, we thoroughly enjoyed having a few days off together with no plans! Well, no plans other than check on the new house, go to Lowe’s (shocker), and start cleaning out our current house for packing.
Robert and I took the day off Wednesday and we were all up and going early. After a morning trip to Lowe’s, we decided to stop off at Bass Pro on the way home just because…

For the record, it’s actually a great place to go kill an hour on a cold day. There’s tons to see and they have a whole Winter Wonderland area with Christmas decorations, crafts, a carousel and Santa! We were too early that day for Santa but we may be back!

The boys had a blast and I was shocked at how many people were already there at 9am in the morning!
We then had a great Turkey day but, the day after Thanksgiving, Spencer was sounding really congested, croupy, and wheezing so we made a trip up to the doctor to get him a steroid prescription and another albuterol mask.

I hate when my buddy is sick but he handled it all just fine…wind chapped cheeks and all!

The rest of the weekend was spent stopping by the new house…

going back to Lowe’s (check out Maxwell’s awesome bed head!)…

and enjoying the pretty weather.

We even took time to make the new house look Christmas-y! This makes me pretty darn happy!

Finally, on Sunday night we put on our Christmas shirts to go to the Advent Workshop at church.


The boy made some cute crafts and we all got into the Christmas spirit!

We’re in the home stretch now for our big move and it can’t come soon enough!
