It has been really busy these last few days. Thankfully the commutes
Wednesday evening and Thursday and Friday were great. No major back-ups but I
guess it helps that it was 40 degrees and the snow on the road melted.
Wednesday night we picked up Mom, Grace and Bev from the Casino and went to
Chanhassen Dinner Theater’s A Hometown Christmas Pageant. It was ok, not the
best performance I’ve seen at Chanhassen.
Mom loved it. Thursday was the
usually band night.
Friday night was great. Greg, Celeste and Evelyn meet Mom, Mike and us
at our house and we drove down to Mankato. We meet Danielle and Bradley at
Pizza Ranch…our new obsession. It was a busy place but as always the food was
great. After that we all piled into the minivan
(9 people) and went to the see the Kiwanis Club’s Christmas Light show in the
park. Danielle and Bradley help put up the lights and volunteered one
night. It was really cool. We even saw
Santa (Evelyn tried to steal his presents) and Reindeer. We stopped for some hot cocoa, hot cider and
brownies and then made our way back home. Mom and Mike spent the night at our
house. It was a fun night. Here are some pictures with more on my website

Yesterday I was busy from 6am. Mom, Mike and I went shopping at like
7:30 and then we went to Perkins for Breakfast and they went home. Eric and I
stopped by the post office to mail some packages and then went shopping. First
stop was Barnes and Noble in Eagan. They
didn’t have a DVD/Music section so that was a failed stop. After that we met a
guy at McDonalds. I bought a brand new KitchenAid Professional Mixer from him.
He had a listing on Craigslist. I got a good deal on it. So far I used it twice
and I love it. I’m so excited. We made a
stop at Starbucks (because Juliette got me addicted), Barnes and Noble in
Burnsville (we got Eric a talk Dalek stuffed toy) and the Casual Male XL Store
for this Snoopy Shirt. Isn’t it cute?

Mike said he liked it but didn’t get it, but
after thinking about it he said he wanted it so we swung by and picked it up.
We got home from our shopping just in time for 4:30 Mass. After Mass we came home for dinner and watch
a movie and then at 9pm we went out for a Peppermint shake from Arby’s. Quite a busy day!
